*Proposed composition of the Steering Committee *
I read
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Indaba. The proposed
composition of the Steering Committee is not clear. And the language is
not clear in several points.
* Page says: "made up of a representative of all past organizers of
Wiki Indaba" - this is ONE representative of (all? selected by
whom?) past organizers.
* Page says: "Country Representation (Previous Organizers of the
Conference)" - does this mean ALL, thus a steadily growing number
year after year? Up to which number?
* office terms - has this been decided this way by the last
Wikiindaba? Otherwise it does not look wise to fix the periods for
"country representatives" and "volunteers" in this way. If ever
for
some reason a Wikiindaba has to be cancelled, resulting in a year
without WikiIndaba, the committee can reach its defined time limit.
To me it looks wiser to state a period until the coming one or two
Wikiindabas.
* Page says: "The role of the volunteer coordinator spans a tenure of
one and half years maximum. This role is automatically awarded to
the best candidate during the application process." What does this
mean? A "volunteer coordinator" is not defined anywhere. How does
something happen "automatically"? What automat finds out "the
best"
and by what criteria??
* Page says: "The term of office is 2 years after which their
organisation can have new elections to select a rep" - so if the
"organisation" (elsewhere the language is "affiliate") has no new
election?
Appreciate any clarification. Cheers Kipala
