ウィキメディア財団選挙/2025/候補者に回答を求める質問

毎回の選考の手順では、コミュニティから質問を提出して理事会候補者に回答 を求めることができます。選挙管理委員会 は、コミュニティが作成した質問一覧から候補者に回答を求めるものを選びます。候補者が必ず回答を求められる質問は、これら選ばれたものだけです。候補者の皆さんは、申請書類に記載された質問すべてに必ず回答願います。さもないと立候補は失格として扱います。

仕組み

今年は、コミュニティにむけた質問案提出のお願いをキックオフのお知らせと統合し、プロセスの早い段階で質問を集めます。次に、選挙管理委員会は候補者に回答してもらう「5つの質問」を選びます。質問の選択において、コミュニティから集まった複数の質問が類似または関連している場合は、それらの質問を組み合わせる場合があります。選ばれた質問は候補申請書に組み込まれ、候補者は質問に一度だけ回答すれば済みます。こうして候補者の負担を軽減し、有権者が1ヵ所ですべての回答を確認しやすくするよう取り計らいました。
