Hi Anne,
it was however common procedure to ask publicly for applications before making a decision on who are the best candidates. Maybe they are the best there are - maybe not, we'll never know.
As an unrelated sidenote, I still hope the committee will public an annual report of her activities in summary (as I suggested a few members privately).
Best,
Lodewijk

Without commenting on the quality of the work of the Ombudsmen, I'll just point out that there has never been a vote for this position.

I suspect it's because they're doing a good job in the WMFs opinion, at least, that's how I read it in Philippe's email...

A sign of a healthy committee is that it does its work promptly and undramatically. The ombudsman commission is such a committee.
Charged
with investigating alleged privacy violations around the checkuser
tool,
the commission has functioned with a high degree of professionalism
and
efficiency. The commission is appointed under the auspices of the
Board,
who have delegated this role to the staff - first to Cary, and then I
took
it on.
Accordingly, after a great bit of deliberation, I offered the
ombudsmen
the
ability to extend their current term for one additional year. All,
with
the
exception of one, have chosen to do so. The one who has not is
Pundit,
who
has accepted a position as a steward. Dweller, who was an advisory
member
of the commission, takes Pundit's seat.
It should be noted that this was done some time ago - I have been
extremely
remiss in sending out the notification. There was no lapse of
commission,
and the commission functioned fully during the gap period.
Best wishes, pb ___________________ Philippe Beaudette Director, Community Advocacy Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.
