Ting Chen wins 2008 Board Election |
This week, the elections continue.
The fifth election to the Wikimedia Board of Trustees opened on Sunday. Fifteen users are vying for one (1) one-year seat, to be filled in the election. As of press time, 2,310 valid votes had been cast.
With just over a week left in voting, little additional news has come up regarding the election.
Voting
To help users decide which candidate(s) to support, we compiled a list of candidate questions that we felt were important. These questions are still available, and have been updated to reflect responses made over the last week:
As in previous years, election officials will monitor votes for voting irregularities, and discount votes as necessary, if it is deemed that some votes are those of sockpuppets. All voters must have made at least 600 edits before March 1, 2008 on any one wiki, and have made at least 50 edits between January 1 and May 29, 2008 on that particular wiki. The wiki for these requirements must be the same one for both, and edits cannot be combined across multiple wikis to gain suffrage. Exceptions to these edit requirements are given to Wikimedia server administrators with shell access, paid staff of the Wikimedia Foundation who began working at the office before March 1, and current and former members of the Board of Trustees.
