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@me.com

Thanks

S
