Hello all,

The scrutineers have finished reviewing the vote and the elections committee have certified the results for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) special election.

I am pleased to announce the following individual as regional members of the U4C, who will fulfill a term until 15 June 2026:

  • North America (USA and Canada)
    • Ajraddatz

The following seats were not filled during this special election:

  • Latin America and Caribbean
  • Central and East Europe (CEE)
  • Sub-Saharan Africa
  • South Asia
  • The four remaining Community-At-Large seats

Thank you again to everyone who participated in this process and much appreciation to the candidates for your leadership and dedication to the Wikimedia movement and community.

Over the next few weeks, the U4C will begin meeting and planning the 2024-25 year in supporting the implementation and review of the UCoC and Enforcement Guidelines. You can follow their work on Meta-Wiki.

On behalf of the U4C,

KTC
On behalf of the U4C and the Elections Committee.

This process is beyond wasteful in terms of resources. Future elections must be more simple and should allow for votes to be given only to the people who are active in the wikies where candidate is also active, otherwise one will keep repeating situation where naysayers from EN control other languages and regions.
