Universal Code of Conduct violations on the Meta page for the WMF board elections
[edit]Hi all
To the best of my understanding the correct way to report Universal Code of Conduct violations is on the noticeboard for the wiki. I would like to report several UCoC violations which happened on Meta here including people claiming I was 'trying to be offended', being 'outrageous' and that I was attempting 'voter intimidation' by highlighting what I think is pretty clear racism against a candidate in the WMF board elections process.
Thanks

- Sorry to send you around a bit, but RFH is probably the place for this. – Ajraddatz (talk) 13:29, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- Ajraddatz now worries, thanks for your help, I actually already posted a help request there, glad to know I guessed the right place. John Cummings (talk) 15:44, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Preliminary results of the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections
[edit]Hello all,
Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.
The following four candidates were the most voted:
While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.
Learn more about the results on Meta-Wiki.
Best regards,
The Elections Committee and Board Selection Working Group

Enabling SecurePoll elections with the electionadmin right
[edit]Hello all - my name is Joe Sutherland and I'm on the Trust and Safety team at the Wikimedia Foundation. We want to make the SecurePoll tool available to local communities to run elections themselves. This will require the "electionadmin" right to be enabled on your local project, which is a right that allows access to sensitive information.
As such, it is likely that communities will need to run a Request for Comment (or similar process) to ascertain consensus for the implementation of this feature. This is an open invitation for you to launch such a discussion. To help guide such a discussion, we've put together a Meta-Wiki page with more information about what enabling the right will mean for your community.
If your community does discuss and decides to move forward with this, T&S would like to support you — please let us know via email ( ca@wikimedia.org ) if and when consensus is reached. Thank you!
P.S., feel free to also discuss the global implications of this here as well. Joe Sutherland (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 20:34, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- I'm wondering if we at Meta-Wiki should set up an instance of this (and maintain a group of electionadmins) to run elections for other projects who don't have the capacity to run their own, similar to what the WMF currently does with votewiki. I have no issues with how the WMF supports elections now, but I understand that there are significant capacity concerns with more and more projects running securepoll elections, and Meta is probably the best place for a community-run securepoll "hub". Anyone else have thoughts on that? – Ajraddatz (talk) 22:39, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe. We'd need to decide how much of the security features would be needed and how we'd want to go about dealing with them. (e.g. data encryption, requiring key escrow and management - or not) (private data collection, or just not collect that - but reduce the ability to checkuser the voters). — xaosflux Talk 13:45, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Assuming that the WMF would still handle the particularly sensitive elections (like for the Board), we could probably do less in terms of private data collection, encryption and key escrow/management. I don't imagine that would be needed for elections without legal consequences, like arbcom or admin elections. But overall this strikes me as a doable idea, and something that would give the community a bit more control over this area. – Ajraddatz (talk) 18:38, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
