Call for Checkusers and Oversighters
The Arbitration Committee announces that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year. This reflects a change from past practice, which provided that only "extraordinary" candidates would be considered outside of an annual appointment process. The steps for interested candidates will remain the following:
- Candidates may self-nominate by contacting the Arbitration Committee at arbcom-en-cwikimedia.org.
- Candidates will be be asked to fill out a questionnaire.
- The Arbitration Committee and Functionaries will vet the candidates.
- The Committee will notify candidates going forward for community consultation and create the candidate subpages containing the submitted nomination statements. Depending on the situation, this may happen immediately or may happen at a set time (e.g., first of the month) to allow grouping of candidates.
- Nomination statements will be published and the candidates will be invited to answer questions publicly. The community will be invited and encouraged to participate over a 10 day period.
- Appointment, if any, will be announced.
The 2024 Arbitration Committee will decide whether it will continue to conduct an annual call for functionary candidates, or if instead this process will be the primary process for functionary appointments going forward.
