It also makes me wonder how hard whoever "elected" the jury worked to find interested unpaid volunteers as opposed to employees who are part of the normal professional networks.

I might be wrong, but I didnt saw a mail with a call for volunteers to compose the jury like they do every year. (I do might had missed though so is better if Manuel or Ellie answers.)

Could someone point to a profile of the jury members? It is incredibly
hard to see who has been an employee of the WMF or Chapters unless you
happen to know people personally. However, I believe I am correct in
saying that only the minority of the jury has never been a paid
employee, which may not be the best thing for a conference aimed at
unpaid volunteers.

It also makes me wonder how hard whoever "elected" the jury worked to
find interested unpaid volunteers as opposed to employees who are part
of the normal professional networks.
