Hello,

If you meet the minimum requirements (See the detailed requirements), then you are eligible to run. But please note that "Successful candidates so far have had more than 5000 edits (across all projects) and hold adminship (or other advanced permissions) on a project." 

According to the U4C Charter, "Individual voting members [...] cannot be employed as staff or contractors by the Wikimedia Foundation or Foundation-affiliated organizations nor may they be members of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees." 

Regards, 
SCP-2000 (Not the U4C member nor WMF Staff) https://w.wiki/_zgcU

That's a pretty funny joke.

In reality, all members are elected by all volunteers and anyone can run, right?

Right?

Regards,

Hello all,

A special election has been called to fill additional vacancies on the U4C. The call to candidates phase is open now through July 19, 2024 [1].

The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community members are invited to submit their applications for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please review the U4C Charter [2].

In this special election, according to chapter 2 of the U4C charter [3], there are 9 seats available on the U4C: '''four''' community-at-large seats and '''five''' regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement. Additionally, no more than two members of the U4C can be elected from the same home wiki [4]. Therefore, candidates must not have English Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, or Italian Wikipedia as their home wiki.

Read more and submit your application on Meta-wiki to join the U4C [5].
