Re: [Wikimania-l] [Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2016 - Jury Announcement and Start of Bidding

Hi all, Just to clarify, as the impression we're getting from the conversation so far is that it's a "staff jury". This is not really the case if you look at the members. Esteban: Board member of Wikimedia Argentina >6 years volunteering Daniel: Volunteer >8 years volunteering Finne: Volunteer /Experience organising a Wikimania/>8 years volunteering Claudia: Senior chapter staff Richard: Chapter staff/just helped deliver a Wikimania/>10 years volunteering Me: Chapter contractor/Just organised a Wikimania Ellie: WMF contractor/Just organised a Wikimania Now, I don't want to speak for the above, but with >34 years of volunteering between the jury + some strong practical experience of delivering such an event, + gender balance + location, that seems like a reasonable jury selection to me. For my part, as with Richard, I don't see my role fundraising for WMUK as a COI as it's just a job. I volunteer my time to train new editors and support Wikimedia events already and I don't represent Wikimedia UK on this jury. Gordon, as you quite rightly pointed out, I'll use my personal email address going forward. prior_stuart(a)me.com Thanks S On 7 October 2014 11:56, Gordon Joly <gordon.joly(a)pobox.com> wrote: -- *Stuart Prior* *Wikimania Liaison* *Wikimedia UK* +44 20 7065 0990 Wikimedia UK is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and Wales, Registered No. 6741827.
