Hi Andreas,


Thanks for your email. Community members can upvote the statements for the Election Compass on Meta-wiki. The Elections Committee needed more time to review the statements than anticipated. Voting opened on July 25. To address this delay, the Elections Committee and the Board Selection Task Force will extend the community voting on Election Statements through August 3.


Best,


Jackie

Hi Jackie,

Per the timeline you communicated on July 9 (quoted below), upvoting of the proposed statements for the Election Compass was meant to start on July 23rd:

July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements

However, there is no sign of this community vote having started, or of the previous stage (Juy 21–22) having been completed.

Would you have an update?

Regards,
Andreas

Hi all,

Community members in the 2022 Board of Trustees election are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass.

An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.

Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:

July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass

July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements

July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements

August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements

August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements

August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision

The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance
