If you are eligible, you can submit your candidacy by doing the following:

1. Write a brief summary of no more than 1200 characters (excluding spaces) stating what you would do if you were elected FDC Ombudsperson, your relevant opinions and experience, and anything else you think is relevant. You may not use your candidate summary to link to lists of endorsements or other platform pages, and may not run on a slate with other candidates.
2. Submit your summary between 00:00, April 24^th 2013 (UTC) and 23:59, May 17^th 2013 (UTC). Your statement may only be changed in the 3 days after submission, or up to May 17^th, whichever comes first, except for minor corrections (for instance, spelling correction) or translation. Any additions or changes to content submitted after this deadline will be time-stamped and presented separately from the original summary, and will only be presented to voters if they get translated into all of the same languages as the original summary. You should note that earlier submissions allow time for translation into more languages, and that submissions provided on the due date or just before may not be as widely translated. NOTE: As part of your submission, you must respond to standard questions. The responses to these questions will not count as characters for your summary. The standard questions are:
   1. What experiences of yours do you think will enhance the work and recommendation process of the FDC?
      1. Around directing and/or evaluating annual plans and programs?
      2. Around grantmaking?
   2. What do you understand to be the Ombudsperson's role?
   3. What are some potential complaints about the FDC process that you believe could be documented with the Ombudsperson, and how might you deal with them?
3. Submit proof of your identity to the Wikimedia Foundation before 23:59, May 17^th (UTC). You will be privately contacted by a member of the Election Committee with further information about meeting this requirement when you list yourself as a candidate.
