Change Details

The annual elections for fawiki's Supervisory Council (akin to the Arbitration Committee) is coming up. Similar to last two years (see T230614 and T207560), we will be holding our annual elections on votewiki. To reduce the time pressure, I am opening this task several weeks in advance. Like last year, we are using a revised the [[ https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%88%DB%8C%DA%A9%DB%8C%E2%80%8C%D9%BE%D8%AF%DB%8C%D8%A7:%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%AA_%D9%87%DB%8C%D8%A6%D8%AA_%D9%86%D8%B8%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AA/%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%B1_%DB%8C%D8%A7%D8%B2%D8%AF%D9%87%D9%85 | calendar of events ]] to eliminate the possibility of an overlap between our election and that of enwiki Arb Com; this is important because votewiki's default language needs to be changed for our election, and the new timeline makes sure there is enough buffer days between the last day of our voting period and the first day of enwiki election configuration period to allow for the interface language change. Here is a timeline of activities: * Oct 12 - Oct 18: Nominations ** [x] Identify two scrutineers (typically, from current stewards): @Urbanecm and @Sotiale have volunteered ** [x] Create a blank election on votewiki (can be modeled after last year's election) ** [x] Make the scrutineers election admins on votewiki ** [x] Make local election execution committee election admins on votewiki (this time around, the exec committee includes only @Huji) * Oct 19 - Oct 22: Election setup ** [x] Import the list of eligible voters ** [x] Import the list of candidates ** [x] Configure the election on votewiki ** [ ] Verify the list of election admins (i.e. remove exec committee members from list of admins) ** [ ] Set election encryption to GPG ** [ ] Change the language of votewiki to Persian (fa) * Oct 23 - Nov 5: Voting period ** [ ] Submit an invitation to all eligible voters using MassMessage * Nov 6 - Nov 10: Tallying period ** [ ] Change the language of votewiki back to English (en) ** [ ] Scrutineers run necessary checks to strike votes submitted by socks or placed through proxy IP addresses *** Suggestion: use https://tools.wmflabs.org/ipcheck/splash.php to find proxy IP addresses ** [ ] The #trust-and-safety team or someone with shell access team runs the tally via command line ** [ ] Output is presented in two tables (one that shows the candidates ranked by their support, and the other that shows the head-to-head comparison matrix of votes) ** [ ] Scrutineers confirm that the result posted on wiki matches the result from the tally
