Hallo zusammen,
Alice Wiegand ruft auf den internationalen Mailinglisten dazu auf,
sich für das Wahlkomitee für die anstehenden Communitywahlen von
Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees zu bewerben:
Drei Sitze im Board – aktuell Phoebe Ayers (Phoebe), Samuel Klein (SJ)
and María Sefidari (Raystorm) – sind für zwei Jahre zu besetzen. Der
gesamte Wahlvorgang wird geplant und durchgeführt von einem
ehrenamtlichen Wahlkomitee. Zu dessen Aufgaben gehört es, das
Wahlverfahren festzulegen, Kriterien für die Kandidierenden
aufzustellen und deren Kandidaturen entsprechend zu prüfen, die
Meta-Seiten zu bespielen, Wahlberechtigungen zu prüfen und sicher zu
stellen, dass das Verfahren problemlos ablaufen kann. Diese Arbeit
wird etwa 5-10 Stunden pro Woche in Anspruch nehmen, in bestimmten
Phasen der Wahl mehr und in anderen weniger Zeit.
Wenn jemand der Mitlesenden Interesse hat, an diesem wichtigen Prozess
mitzuwirken, wendet euch bis allerspätestens 17. April samt kurzem
Motivationsschreiben an James Alexander (Jalexander(a)wikimedia.org).
Weitere Informationen in unten stehender Mail bzw. auf den Metaseiten
zur 2013er Wahl

Viele Grüße

Subject: [Wikimedia Announcements] Call for Election Committee candidates
To: WikimediaAnnounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hi Everyone,
2015 is an election year for the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia
Foundation as well as for the Funds Dissemination Committee .
As you may recall the Board has three directly-elected members who
serve for two years. Currently they are Phoebe Ayers (Phoebe), Samuel
Klein (SJ) and María Sefidari (Raystorm). As in the past years we
rely on an effective election committee to coordinate the elections
for us along with staff support and a Board liaison. Not only do they
guarantee that the election is overseen by an independent body, but
they also make sure that the tremendous amount of work that needs to
be done is taken care of. My job, as this year's Board liaison, is to
coordinate the formation of this committee and to support them in
their work while serving as the primary point of contact with the
Board regarding the process..
This is a call for volunteers to serve on the election committee. If
you feel that you can contribute to this committee, please email James
Alexander (Jalexander(a)wikimedia.org) and give a small summary of why
you think you would be able to help out with this process.
The Committee is responsible for planning and maintaining virtually
every aspect of the Board election. For example, the Committee plans
the type of voting, suffrage criteria, and criteria for candidacy,
helps to draft and organize all of the official election pages on
Meta, verifies that candidates and voters meet the criteria, audits
votes to ensure there are no duplicate votes or other problems, et
cetera. You can expect that this work will take an average 5-10 hours
a week with a few periods of relative quiet and a few periods of heavy
work during and after each election (the FDC and Board elections are
planned to be separate this year).
If you decide to join the committee you will have to identify to the
Wikimedia Foundation because of the personal information you have
access too and must be at least 18 years of age. In addition you
cannot be part of the election committee if you are planning to be a
candidate or are planning to support any candidate publicly.
To ensure we get going as quickly as possible, committee members will
start to be seated as soon as we have 4-5 good candidates with an
anticipated first meeting of Friday April 10th (or soon after,
depending on committee availability). The deadline for volunteers,
however, is Friday, April 17th UTC 12:00.
The committee and staff will be setting up the election pages soon and
the call for candidates, led by a letter from the Board, which will be
going out shortly. If you're interested in running for either the
Board or the FDC, I encourage you to read up on prior elections and
the groups themselves to prepare your statements!
Regards,
Alice.
