[Foundation-l] Design goals for the election and board selection process

[Jesse Martin (Pathoschild)]

Unified login would register the 638 remaining accounts. I don't need
user rights on those wikis; stewards add rights from Meta when they're
needed, and remove them when they're done.

I'm not aware of any current way to automate account creation, since
captchas must be solved when registering on all Wikimedia wikis.

Yours cordially,
Jesse Martin (Pathoschild)
