- Voting will be via the approval system (5 highest winning; all elected
have to get >50% approval) (meta)
That might not be workable. Most of the people to the Foundation's Board of Trustees got less than 50%.
That had a much larger number of voters, and as I recall, were limited to a maximum of 3 votes per voter for a long list of candidates.
I was talking about the previous years where approval voting was used. In 2004, there were 11 candidates and you could vote for as many people as you wanted. There were only a few hundred voters. It's quite possible Wikimedia UK would get that many voters and easily possible that all candidates will get <50% approval.
