Thanks for the survey. I trust that it will also be "advertised" in other
venues.
I notice that it gives ranges of 0 to 5 which is actually six data points
rather than the more typical 1 to 5, so there is no "middle ground" on this
survey - any answer either has to be at least somewhat supportive or
somewhat unsupportive of the statement being evaluated. I'm not sure why
that decision was made, but it has led to challenges in past surveys.
I hope that there is good response to the survey and that it is helpful in
guiding decision-making. Some of the points may be useful in other
contexts as well.

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.

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.
