2018 Arbitration Committee Elections
Status as of 11:46 (UTC), Sunday, 5 May 2024 (
)
During the 2012 Arbitration Committee Election Request for comment, it was decided by consensus that a three-member Electoral Commission would be created to address issues arising during the Arbitration Committee elections. This decision was reaffirmed in subsequent years and the existence of the Commission is now part of the standard procedure for the annual elections. The Electoral Commission is reconstituted each year for purposes of that year's election.
Editors wishing to volunteer as a Commissioner for 2018 should create a new subsection on this RfC. All editors are encouraged to comment on the suitability of the volunteers for this role. Three volunteers with the strongest support, determined by consensus based upon comments posted until one week after the close of nominations, will be chosen as Commissioners. Any remaining applicants who have consensus support but are not in the top three will be designated as reserve Commissioners, to be called upon if one of the Commissioners is unable to serve. If the consensus is not readily apparent, one or more bureaucrats will help close the discussion.
The mandate of the Electoral Commission is to deal with any unforeseen problems that may arise in the 2018 Arbitration Committee election process, and to adjudicate any disputes during the election. However, members of the Election Commission should intervene only when there is a problem that needs resolving, and either discussion is not working, the rules are unclear, or there isn't time for a lengthy discussion.
In addition, while the Electoral Commission is not responsible for logistics of the election, the Commissioners should also help ensure that preparations for the election—such as setting up the relevant pages, posting notices of the election in the appropriate places, and asking the Office to configure the SecurePoll voting interface—move forward in a timely fashion.
Commissioners and reserve members are not eligible for election to the Arbitration Committee during this year's election. Commissioners must be able and willing to satisfy the requirements of the access to nonpublic information policy.
Per the consensus developed in previous requests for comment, the electoral commission timetable is as follows:

I was on the electoral commission last year, and as I said then "it's a dull job, but somebody has to do it". Last year, my main responsibility was producing an accurate list of voters for the election, sending it over to the WMF and nagging them about getting the SecurePoll set up. I was not favourable about the mass messaging, so I procrastinated over it which caused problems elsewhere; if this time around somebody else wants to take the lead on that, I'll work with them with the list of names.

Hi everyone. Those of you who know me, know that I contribute to the technical process and side of Wikipedia. Most of my growth on Wikipedia was by being hands on in the areas I've worked in. As such, in continuing my growth on Wikipedia, I'm throwing my hat in the ring to serve as an Electoral Commissioner. I already satisfy the conditions for access to non-public data.— CYBERPOWER ( Chat) 19:41, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

I'm happy to put myself forward to assist with the running of this year ArbCom election. While I have not served on the commission previously, I have obvious transferable experience as Chair of the Foundation's standing elections committee, and before that the 2008, 2013, and 2015 Foundation's elections committee. I already satisfy the requirements of the access to nonpublic information policy. KTC ( talk) 21:19, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

I'd like to volunteer to serve on the Electoral Commission. I've got a lot of experience manipulating data, such as making lists of voters, and experience with phabricator. SQL Query me! 21:38, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

<Elections are good for a non profit organisation like wikimedia foundation and being a moderator for such a process, is a great opportunity for volunteers to understand the functioning of wikimedia sites.> Sachinthonakkara 00:29, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
216 edits, frankly, is not a big enough body of work to demonstrate the trust this position requires. Tazerdadog ( talk) 00:47, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
I don't think the candidate is serious about this. 50 odd mainspace edits only, even rollback needs more edits than that why even try for this? 1.02 editor ( C651 set 217/ 218) 06:08, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
