*Call for referendum*: The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own account.
Further details and educational materials will be available shortly. The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party. Referendum details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will be posted at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image_filter_referendum shortly.
For the coordinating committee, Philippe (WMF) Cbrown1023 Risker Mardetanha PeterSymonds Robert Harris

The eligibility criteria have not been set yet, there are many things that still need to be decided. However, we intend to set a pretty low bar, so if you're an active Wikimedian, you shouldn't have to worry. I'm sure you'll fit the criteria. :-)
