Summary of August '06 meeting

The Archive for the August 2006 meeting can be found at Wikipedia:AMA Meeting/August 2006.

New Coordinator Election

  • Result: Steve was elected as the official coordinator with a vote of 10/0/0.

Advocacy Handbook Rewrites

  • Result: Pedant volunteered and made quality additions to the documentation as well as an example of case documentation. Further case studies may be a good thing to investigate and include.

a comment on the section header 'discussion'

  • Result: Pedant brought up an issue of style concerning the heading "Discussion" which will be implemented in the next Meeting.

Advocacy Alerts

  • Result: Not enough discussion.

System of Accountability

  • Result: General consensus that a System of Accountability needs to be implemented without ex post facto enforcements. General consensus believes that peer review seems to be the best way to do this. Geo created an example system at Wikipedia:AMA_Meeting/review. This item requires further discussion.

Notes on the above (filling out forms)

  • Result: General consensus that mandatory forms to fill out is a bad thing. Case histories, however, may be a good thing to keep (for difficult cases and provided they are not mandatory) and Pedant demonstrated how a simple case history could be put together.

Standard terminology

  • Result: The term "Advocee" is what was generally decided on to refer to a Wikipedian who has requested Advocacy.

Deputy Coordinators

Election Officers

  • Result: May be useful in the future. Further discussion needed as no consensus on how to proceed was reached.
