Change Details

The annual elections for fawiki's Supervisory Council (akin to the Arbitration Committee) is coming up. Similar to last three years (see T207560, T230614 and T262689), we will be holding our annual elections on votewiki. Like last two years, we are using a revised [[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_%D8%AF%D9%88%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: (update: The timeline was changed at Oct 12) * Oct 18 - Oct 24: Nominations ** [x] Identify two scrutineers (typically, from current stewards) (@Tks4Fish and @Stanglavine) ** [ ] Create a blank election on votewiki (can be modeled after last year's election) ** [ ] Make the scrutineers election admins on votewiki ** [ ] Make local election execution committee election admins on votewiki (this time around, the exec committee includes only @MahdySaffar) * Oct 18 - Oct 21: Election setup ** [ ] Import the list of eligible voters ** [ ] Verify that candidates meet the related eligibility criteria ** [ ] Import the list of candidates ** [ ] Configure the election on votewiki ** [ ] Verify the list of election admins (i.e. remove exec committee members from list of admins) ** [ ] Change the language of votewiki to Persian (fa) * Oct 22 - Nov 4: Voting period ** [ ] Submit an invitation to all eligible voters using MassMessage * Nov 5 - Nov 9: Tallying period ** [ ] Change the language of votewiki back to English (en) ** [ ] Election exec. committee checks if any vote was cast while the user was locally blocked ** [ ] 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
