Hi

Actually...

it would have been nice that you gave the time to the board to approve 
all the mentionned candidates.

Next time we are supposed to give our opinion on the matter, it would be 
  best to actually allow 24 hours for doing so. I do not think it really 
matters in this case, but it would have both followed the elections 
rules AND be polite to us.

Aside from this

I suggest that in a few months from now, we set up a "reconfirmation" of 
current stewards (not those just elected, but the old chaps). Several 
have been removed in the past few months, mostly because inactive. But 
it might be that some editors are actually not happy with some stewards 
and might wish to change their minds with them.

Second, I suggest that a sort of policy be done with regards to the use 
of checkuser rights.
Stewards can use checkuser rights. Checkuser rights may impact the 
Foundation privacy policy, so maybe the Foundation should have a say on 
who gets this access. And checkuser rights involve technical skills. So, 
these populations should be different.
