| − | == My statement about eligibility requirements == |
||
| − | I hereby state that as of Feb-Mar 2013 I meet the eligibility criteria. Specifically: (a) I'm a member in good standing of Wikimedia District of Columbia; (b) I'm over 18 years of age; (c) No order of court has declared my mind to be unsound; (d) No order of court found that I breached a duty as an organization's director; (e) No final order of court prohibits me from serving as a director; (f) I do not not owe more than $100 in outstanding debt to the District of Columbia. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == My statement of mandatory disclosures == |
||
| − | (a) I do not have a financial interest in any ongoing or planned transaction or arrangement undertaken by Wikimedia District of Columbia; |
||
| − | (b) I do have minor "conflicts of duty" that could arise occasionally. My employer is a federal statistical agency whose [[User:Econterms/Ethics advice for government employees and outside organizations|rules regarding activities in outside organizations]] may require me to avoid taking public stands on legislation or candidates. I will follow those rules and norms. This won't affect my role in most activities of Wikimedia-DC. Also I help run, speak about, and advocate for internal federal government wikis and for government staff to participate directly in the Wikimedia projects. I cannot see how this would create a conflict with Wikimedia-DC; it should help. |
||
| − | (c) I have not been convicted of any felony; |
||
| − | (d) I have no fiduciary duty to, nor am I an employee, director, officer, or agent of, the Wikimedia Foundation, or of any Wikimedia chapter other than Wikimedia District of Columbia; |
||
| − | (e) I participate in editing Wikipedias especially in English, and in editing Wikisource, and have not been subject to disciplinary action in those contexts. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == My candidate statement == |
||
| − | Goals: Academic links, meaning partly partnerships with outsiders for joint events ; be able to explain organizational issues clearly, preferably on-wiki. Editing cross-language and follow and define the movement. |
||
| − | When it's realistic to work with federal agencies on open Wikimedia content, I try to help however I have no proposal there in the short run. I have worked on "social media policy" within a government agency to create such opportunities but it hasn't worked yet. For now I'm keeping track of government wikis and government rules regarding edits to outside sites. |
||
| − | I attend WikiSym, Wikimania, SHOT, SIGCIS, and a number of economics/social-science conferences each year. |
