Question: To ensure a fair and inclusive election for a vote that impacts the whole movement, what methodology should chapters and thematic organizations use to vote on the ratification of the Movement Charter? (Please select one of the following options.)

Every active contributor should be eligible to vote as of three months prior to the vote. Yes, not all user groups have a mailing list and not every contributor is on the existing mailing lists. Information can reach the communties through village pumps, ambassadors, and volunteers.

Question: To ensure a fair and inclusive election for a vote that impacts the whole movement, what methodology should UGs use to vote on the ratification of the Movement Charter? (Please select one of the following options.)

For uniformity and orderliness, it is okay if The Charter Electoral Commission specifies the voting method to be applied to all UGs.

Question: What percentage of individuals should vote in favor of ratification to ratify? (Please select one of the following options)

Personally, 50% is cool. More is always better though

@NPhan_WMF1

• Question: How will the members of the CEC be recruited?
• Question: Who will select the 5 members of the CEC out of all eligible candidates?
• Question: What types of experience would you like to see from members of the Charter Electoral Commission? Should there be any formal minimum criteria for eligibility?

•To avoid imposing tasks, a call for willing volunteer will be great

•For selection of eligible members of the CEC, member of the MCDC and experienced community members who served in or coordinated similar roles will be cool

•Experience I’d like to see
1. Knowledge of how the electoral process works
2. Neutrality: committed to ensuring fairness without bias
3. Proper understanding of Diversity and inclusivity
4. Knowledge of electoral tools and data analysis
