If the decision of the elections committee is that his candidacy can stand (although he still hasn't confirmed his full name), we need to bring the facts to the attention of the voters so that they can make an informed choice. We shouldn't let a troll get in just because we were asleep on the job. The committee also needs to be careful who they allow to vote - wouldn't want someone to get elected just because a load of his socks voted for him! Going forward, I dont see how a charity whose objective is to promote the vision of wikimedia (however this is eventually phrased) could permit someone to be a trustee who has actively undermined the project. We need to have some kind of rules and mechanism to deal with these issues - including the ability to bar people from standing and being able to remove trustees where new information comes to light regarding serious misconduct on wikimedia projects. On another point, the elections committee still haven't made a decision regarding the 50% rule. Could you do this ASAP - definitely before the voting starts. Andrew
