Hello

We have voted !

If someone who did not cast his vote has a "eh, me me me... I want to vote !!!" moment... please do it within the next hour or so (we can update the UG vote)

For your information, we ranked all candidates. Our top 3 was
1) Kunal
2) Michal
3) Mike Peel

With a big lead on Kunal (but since it is ranking... this is not reflected).
The middle candidates were actually... hardly chosen or given a vague +1 or -1
And then two candidates really got very negative votes.

Cheers

Flo

Hello friends

Now is the time to vote in the 2022 Board of Trustees election.

CONTEXT AND EXPLAINATION
As a reminder... there are 2 open positions : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022
12 candidates : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Candidates

Each candidate proposed a candidate presentation and statement (see link above)
And had the opportunity to answer to 15 questions
You may find their answers here : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affiliate_Organization_Participation/Candidate_Questions (*)
Please note that the answers are short, so it will not be a super consuming task to get to know candidates positions better on some matters.

1st Round
Each affiliate will cast a vote, which will serve to shorten the 12 candidates list to a 6 candidates list.

2nd Round
Community members will have the opportunity to vote on the short list of 6 candidates

We are currently at 1st Round.
I was given access to the voting interface.
Voting info :

• This election is using the Single Transferable Vote methodology ("STV").
  
• On the voting page is a sequence of dropdown boxes. Starting from the top of the page, select the candidates in order of preference, from "Preference 1" (most preferred) to "Preference 12" (least preferred).
• You do not need to rank every candidate. You may stop ranking candidates at any point. For example, you can choose to only rank one candidate, or four candidates, or all of the candidates.
• You are allowed to change your vote during the election. This will overwrite your previous vote. You can do this as many times as you like.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
1) read the candidates statements : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Candidates
2) read the answers to the "up to 15" questions : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Affiliate_Organization_Participation/Candidate_Questions
3) send me an email (please add Sj in copy) with your favorite choices.

------> For each candidate, please put a value between -5 to +5.
------> By default, all candidates will be at 0 points. So if you support a candidate, please add a positive number. If you are opposed to a candidate, please add a negative number.

I will merge those figures to get a ranking, which I will submit to the voting interface.

Please do send me the email before JULY 12 !

Best

Flo

(*) I reported the Offline UG question from Zeljko Blace. It has been "merged" into several questions
