U4C Special elections[edit]
The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) special election is accepting candidates through 19 July, with voting from 27 July - 10 August. The first U4C election which concluded in June only filled 7 of the 16 seats, one short of a quorum. There are four community-at-large seats, plus five regional seats open.
The regional seats are for:
- North America (USA and Canada)
- Latin America and Caribbean
- Central and East Europe (CEE)
- Sub-Saharan Africa, and
- South Asia
A rule to ensure diversity across home projects, means that candidates from the English, German, and Italian Wikipedias - which each had two members elected in the first election, cannot run in this election. This rule has resulted in the odd case that the North America (USA and Canada) regional seat cannot be filled be somebody who claims the English Wikipedia as their home project.
