Agreed. Is this something that the Election
Committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_committee>,
as a standing committee not tied to a single election, can help with? SJ
I would like the answer to this to be 'yes', but the Elections Committee
doesn't seem to do anything except supervise the community elections to the
Board (which are, in effect, now run by WMF staff). They did not, for
instance, appear to be particularly involved in the work that led to the
changes to the Board election structure. They do not publish any
information about what they are doing, and they don't appear to be
particularly responsive to inquiries even when there is a Board election
on. Making the elections committee a 'standing' committee does not appear
to have resulted in anything changing, and suggests this committee is not
the right group to take any further changes forward.
