We have a system that works for jury selection. What I would STRONGLY like to encourage people in the community to do is seek out prospective people who would be good hosts and work with me on preparing a bid. That is is our biggest need! The CFP was posted earlier this month.
Thank you all.

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.)

I also would like to know the answer to Itzik question:
" Can you elaborate more on how the current jury was elected and by who?"

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.
