As someone who has previously chosen a jury. The most important factors
were experience of wikimania, experience of other events and geographic
distribution. Affiliation and role were basically hair splitting factors
where volunteers were closely matched in terms of the main three factors.

Hi all,
Just to clarify, as the impression we're getting from the conversation so
far is that it's a "staff jury". This is not really the case if you look
at
the members.
Esteban: Board member of Wikimedia Argentina >6 years volunteering
Daniel: Volunteer >8 years volunteering
Finne: Volunteer /Experience organising a Wikimania/>8 years volunteering
Claudia: Senior chapter staff
Richard: Chapter staff/just helped deliver a Wikimania/>10 years
volunteering
Me: Chapter contractor/Just organised a Wikimania
Ellie: WMF contractor/Just organised a Wikimania
Now, I don't want to speak for the above, but with >34 years of
volunteering between the jury + some strong practical experience of
delivering such an event, + gender balance + location, that seems like a
reasonable jury selection to me.
For my part, as with Richard, I don't see my role fundraising for WMUK as
a COI as it's just a job. I volunteer my time to train new editors and
support Wikimedia events already and I don't represent Wikimedia UK on this
jury.
Gordon, as you quite rightly pointed out, I'll use my personal email
address going forward. prior_stuart(a)me.com
Thanks
