hi James,
thanks for your input. One of the reasons for the survey is asking the
community what they think about the key qualities. I think it is quite
likely a more effective way of getting a wider input than discussing it on
the list. One of the questions in the questionnaire is, for instance, the
value one sees in the candidate having a WMF experience.
best,
dj

Thanks Alice
IMO we need someone who understands our movements values, that understands
that we are a movement, and sees themselves not as a decider and visionary
but as a facilitator. Our movement has no lack of excellent ideas but does
not always communicate effectively within itself.
As such we need someone who has excellent communication and people skills.
Technical skills can be hired for at other levels of the organization while
people skill cannot typically be taught.
Katherine, our current interim ED, appears to have these qualities. If she
is interesting in taking on the position long term I would hope her
candidacy is given serious consideration by the board.

Hello all,
The ED search steering group has been soliciting input for a few weeks,
and
while a few people were fairly vocal about what
they were looking for in
a
new ED, we decided that we needed more input from
a broader range of
people
and we want to hear more from our emerging
communities. To that end, we
have written and published a survey [1] intended to help us both validate
and prioritize the good feedback we have already received.
Our survey is currently open in the top 10 wiki languages. A sample of
editors from various languages have been invited to participate and we
are
also sending an invitations to anyone here and
through our networks.
Please
participate in the survey and help us to shape
the new ED’s profile.
On behalf of the ED search steering group
Alice.
