Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections 2015

admin Thursday May 17, 2018

I voted in this year's Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections. I had only interacted with 1 candidate and since I was almost focusing entirely on governance, I was neutral for almost all candidates, except:

  • Supported Dariusz Jemielniak, who has spoken against bureaucracy (although I consider his specific proposition of setting a firm limit to the volume of policies as a bureaucratic proposition... despite its anti-bureaucratic purpose).
  • Supported James Heilman for his general impression
  • Confidently supported Tim Davenport for being reform minded and critical of bureaucracy, and his intention of oversighting WMF.
  • Opposed Samuel Klein, simply because he is proposing term limits (we need less rules, not more arbitrary rules!)


By the way, WMF, please make it easy for voters to fix or at least report problems (such as the large number of broken links (anchors) to candidate presentations). And allow us to modify our vote (or at least warn us we would need to start from scratch to do so).

And as for candidates, most of your presentations say a little too much about your past and too little about your intentions.
