इतिहास

The Committee has responsibilities throughout every phase of the selection process for Community- and Affiliate-Selected Trustees, as established in Article IV, Section 3(C) in the Foundation Bylaws, including:
- Timeline – Work with staff to determine and communicate election timeline specifics, based on target end date set by the Board.
- Candidacy – Working with staff and in consultation with the Board, design the process for collecting and reviewing candidate declarations.
- Outreach – Work with staff to reach the various Wikimedia communities with information about the election, including * voting and the call for candidates.

- Evaluation – Assist in reviewing candidates based on criteria set by the Board.
- Campaigning – Set and enforce rules regarding how candidates can campaign, and oversee the process of asking candidates to answer campaign questions.
- Voting – Determine the voting method and voter eligibility criteria, and work with staff to determine the voting platform and review voter eligibility requests.

All aspects of the trustee selection process are subject to the Board’s authority, as defined by applicable law, by the Foundation Bylaws, and by other governing documents.
