Greetings, The certified results of the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election are now available on Meta-Wiki: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Results Congratulations to María Sefidari (User:Raystorm), Dariusz Jemielniak (User:pundit), and James Heilman (User:Doc James) for receiving the most community support. Subject to a standard background check, they will be appointed by the Board at their August meeting at Wikimania. These results have been certified by the elections committee, the Wikimedia Foundation staff advisors to the committee, and the Board of Trustees. There were 5,581 votes cast, with 5,120 of those being valid. The 461-vote difference comes from recast ballots, where eligible voters recast ballots to change their votes, and struck votes, of which there were 34. (Some of the recast votes were also struck.) Additional information is available on the Wikimedia Blog: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/05/20/board-of-trustees-elections-2017/ More statistics on the elections and a post-mortem from the committee will be published in the coming days. In the meantime, we would appreciate your input—what went well for you in this election? What could we do better next time? These reports are crucial to helping future elections be even more successful, and we hope that you will offer your feedback and ideas: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Post_mo… The committee would like to thank everyone that participated in this year’s election for helping make it, again, one of the most diverse and representative in the movement’s history. Sincerely, – Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee _______________________________________________ Please note: all replies sent to this mailing list will be immediately directed to Wikimedia-l, the public mailing list of the Wikimedia community.

Congratulations Maria, Dariusz, and James - I am sure you will do a great job for the movement over the next few years! I am proud and grateful to have had the support of 2,002 people, particularly because this is a palindrome. :) And thank you to all the other candidates, the elections committee and the staff involved for making the election happen!

I normally hate +1s, but I want to congratulate Doc James on his reappointment to the board. I hope we've all learned from his previous term, and can work together to benefit the movement.

+1 :-) The elected candidates are ideal, making me feel confident that the values and aspirations of the wider Wikimedia volunteer community will be well represented in the coming year. As previously mentioned, Alice and Jimmy were the main political players in excluding Doc James from board discussions. The expulsion of James from the board as an //elected// trustee has damaged the reputation of the WMF board of trustees, and they must take fair personal responsibility for those events. It would be great if both Alice and Jimmy could speak up now, perhaps now thanking Doc James for having the determination to run again for the board and ensuring the community that they will do everything they can to ensure James is supported and welcome, or have the wisdom to step down if they feel unable to work collegiately and positively with their elected fellow trustees. The historical theme of the WMF board being directed by trustees that have never stood for an open election is an embarrassment in the light of the unnecessarily policial recent history of the WMF. We are overdue for the board to be seen to get their fingers out, do some meaningful housekeeping, and re-invent itself as one that is properly open, transparent and accountable to volunteers as well as large rich donors. Naturally, well intentioned folks who "happen to" benefit from their sticky conflicts of interest in directly related commercial ventures, such as Wikia and Wikitrubune, should not be anywhere near the board, nor should they hold positions of influence on related committees and trusts where the potential conflicts of loyalty represent financial and reputational risks for the Wikimedia community and the Wikimedia Foundation.

Instead of blaming people, I blame the idea that board members should ever be ejected if they have lost the trust or confidence of other board members, or because other members feel uncomfortable working with them, or because they may choose to withhold or be more forthcoming with information than other members prefer. Joining a representative body should require a conscious effort to avoid groupthink, not a suicide pact to abide by it. On Tue, May 23, 2017 at 8:06 PM Fæ <faewik(a)gmail.com> wrote:

To be fair, while I opposed THIS particular removal from the Board, I think the Board SHOULD have the right to expel people who are perceived as disruptive, uncooperative, or not fulfilling their fiduciary duties well. Such cases should be rare, and exceptionally well grounded and explained (whenever possible).

Hello all and particularly the Elections Committee! I just wondered what is happening in terms of post-mortem on the elections. There was a call for comments on Meta - is there any kind of active review by the Election Committee happening? I know in previous years the EC has often made extensive comments to shape future years! Regards, Chris On 21 May 2017 01:33, "matanya moses" <matanya(a)foss.co.il> wrote:

Greetings, The certified results of the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election are now available on Meta-Wiki: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Results Congratulations to María Sefidari (User:Raystorm), Dariusz Jemielniak (User:pundit), and James Heilman (User:Doc James) for receiving the most community support. Subject to a standard background check, they will be appointed by the Board at their August meeting at Wikimania. These results have been certified by the elections committee, the Wikimedia Foundation staff advisors to the committee, and the Board of Trustees. There were 5,581 votes cast, with 5,120 of those being valid. The 461-vote difference comes from recast ballots, where eligible voters recast ballots to change their votes, and struck votes, of which there were 34. (Some of the recast votes were also struck.) Additional information is available on the Wikimedia Blog: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/05/20/board-of-trustees-elections-2017/ More statistics on the elections and a post-mortem from the committee will be published in the coming days. In the meantime, we would appreciate your input—what went well for you in this election? What could we do better next time? These reports are crucial to helping future elections be even more successful, and we hope that you will offer your feedback and ideas: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_ elections/2017/Post_mortem The committee would like to thank everyone that participated in this year’s election for helping make it, again, one of the most diverse and representative in the movement’s history.

A great question. And I have an easy answer! I wrote up the feedback we received into a report that you can read here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Post_mo… The committee will be working on taking the feedback onboard ahead of the next election cycle, which is (at the time of writing) the FDC elections in 2019.
