Dear NEWmedians,
The affiliate-selection stage of this year's Trustee elections has started.
Please respond to Phoebe + I with thoughts + preferences about the current candidate pool. I will file a single composite vote for our group next week.

We are supposed to consider the analysis committee's ratings of the candidates for our votes. Where have those ratings been posted?

Thanks -- I thought this had been posted to Meta, but it seems it was only emailed to affiliate contacts so far. I asked Mervat to update Meta; in the meantime just sharing it here.
Here is the rubric https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/Analysis_Committee_rubric_for_the_2022_Candidates.pdf used for analysis. - Numbers are averages of the scores given for each category by the [seven] AC members. - 'Overall Rating': this seems to be computed automatically from the scores. Each score is converted to a scale of 1-3 (Bronze, Silver, Gold), then averaged and rounded. So Gold means roughly "*an average score of at least 18.5 in at least two categories*", and Bronze would have meant "*an avg score of less than 9.5 in at least three categories*".

Thanks, Sam. The rubric says ratings will be assigned based on aggregate scores, but the committee chose to ignore the rubric without even indicating they were doing so, let alone offering a justification. I think this is a good indication of how much weight we should give these ratings.

Indeed. I'm more interested in any personal partially-ordered preferences of members of our group than these ratings. /S

The committee sent around a corrected table of ratings; the process + color-system were confusing to everyone. There were 9 evaluation criteria, grouped into 4 clusters (WM background, skills, regional experience, human rights + representation). They couldn't decide how to summarize these, so did it two ways: first by overall average across criteria, then by average within the 9 criteria.
Thanks Ben for helping to get this corrected. After hearing everyone's feedback this week, we will put in our vote at the week's end.
