I'm less convinced than Happy Melon seems to be that there is a clear distinction between election admin and coordinator.--Tznkai (talk) 06:53, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Necessary vs. optional WMF identification? Tony (talk) 08:58, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Although by stating that you consider yourself to be both, you've actually endorsed the distinction :P Indeed the only real differences are mandatory identification, in exchange for a few extra technical bells and whistles and a few extra chores to go with them. The parallel between Administrators and functionaries such as Oversighters is close; as ever having extra buttons to play with doesn't give us any greater 'standing' in the community. Our mandate to do things like close that RfC last night is a) strictly in the capacity of the other 'hats' we also wear, and b) strictly to the extent that the community asked us to.

Volunteer election administrators

[edit]

Three election administrators are needed who are Wikimedia Foundation-identified editors who can oversee the election, including the SecurePoll voting system. Anyone who is interested, please indicate below.

As I've said before, I am very happy to be involved in what would be my third election; but I agree entirely with the belief that the three election admins should include both 'experienced' users and new faces. Happy‑melon 00:25, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I served in this position during ACE2009 and would like to do so again, but I will happily step aside if a proverbial new face wants to take on the role.--Tznkai (talk) 05:21, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that some new blood would be best, and would rather H-M or Tznkai serve rather than myself, but I'm available as a final resort if someone falls through at the last minute. Skomorokh 13:18, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If nothing else, I can serve in anyone else's place as election admin; I haven't done it before. –MuZemike 22:49, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Joining FAQ

[edit]

Am I eligible to volunteer?
Any editor in good standing (not currently blocked) is welcome to volunteer as a coordinator; you do not have to be an administrator to join.
Is it too late to volunteer?
No, there is no cut-off date for volunteering.
What needs to be done?
See the to do section at the top of this page for a list of current tasks, or go to the talk section of this page for more general direction. Thanks for your interest!

Coordinator guideline

[edit]

While coordinators have as much right to participate in ordinary voter activity during the election as all other eligible voters (i.e. voting, asking questions, discussing candidates), co-ordinators should avoid acting in a way that might cast doubt on their ability to act impartially, or on the perceived neutrality of the coordinators or elections as a whole.
