The current version (http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php? title=Wikimedia_UK_v2.0/Election_Rules&oldid=1317410) seem to have broad support. In essense they say: * 7 Board members * elected under the Approval Voting method * only those who get >50% are elected * elections run by one or more Teller(s) who are appointed by the Board and can't be candidates themselves * voting can be either electronically to the Teller or in person by a paper ballot at the AGM * timescales set out for inviting candidates, nominations and election The only remaining uncertain area is on the question - what do we do when the electorate is opposed to most or all of the candidates. In discussions on meta I've proposed three options: (a) Elect the top 7 anyway (you could say like UK elections!) (b) Only elect those that get more than 50%, except for the top candidate who would be elected regardless and if he was the only candidate elected their sole task post-election would be to organise a new election (c) Only elect those that get more than 50%, except for the top 3/5 candidates who would be elected regardless; post-election they would have all the powers of any other Board. Other than this is it ready to go to the Board for approval?
