Review and comment on the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees selection rules package
editDear all,
Please review and comment on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees selection rules package from now until 29 October 2023. The selection rules package was based on older versions by the Elections Committee and will be used in the 2024 Board of Trustees selection.
The rules package includes campaign rules, voter eligibility criteria, and the voting method, platform, and timeline. In previous Board selections, the voter eligibility criteria and the voting method were adjusted to fit expressed community needs. The Candidate Guidelines were originally developed during the 2022 election and have been revised.
The Wikimedia Foundation staff are supporting a community comment period for the rules package so the Elections Committee can receive comments and concerns well in advance of the Board selection process. Completing this comment period now will allow time for the Elections Committee to adapt the rules package as appropriate.
Please visit the Meta-wiki talk page to provide your comments now and invite people you know to do so as well. Your comments will help the Elections Committee provide a smoother, better Board selection process.
Best,
Katie Chan
Chair of the Elections Committee
