Talk:Revolution of 2016

Many thanks!

edit

Thank you Millosh for the idea, and all the hard work, of getting this page started. Very worthwhile project, I hope it will help many Wikimedians on the edges of these issues to understand what is going on. I will try to pitch in; for now, just reading and fiddling with details. -Pete F (talk) 22:11, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Is this timeline appropriate for inclusion anywhere?--Sphilbrick (talk) 02:41, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Board reform/board composition/stateholder representation

edit

There's quite a bit about board reform/board composition but I'm still mulling over the best subject heading. Board composition is a special subset of Stateholder representation, while board reform encompasses more than composition. Maybe shouldn't get too hung up on a title, but I'm trying to think through the right scope for the section.--Sphilbrick (talk) 04:16, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

I took a first stab at this. I didn't pick up all relevant posts in the thread - I wanted to see how it would turn out.--Sphilbrick (talk) 22:36, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Per comments here Revolution_of_2016/Stakeholder_representation, I think it is important to clarify where we are right now and that is that we have 10 appointed seats.

I would be supportive of having 4 or 5 elected seats and then having the founder stand election like the others. To have elected seats we need to become a membership organization though. And would also need to put in place community mechanisms to remove elected members. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:05, 6 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Addressing paid editing

edit

We had a fairly large discussion regarding paid editing here.
