Coordinators
The six coordinators are :
 * Non-admin: User:Username, 15 January 2009 – 14 January 2011 (alpha tranche)
 * Non-admin: User:Username, 15 January 2009 – 14 January 2011 (alpha tranche)
 * Non-admin: User:Username, 15 January 2009 – 14 January 2010 (beta tranche)
 * Non-admin: User:Username, 15 January 2009 – 14 January 2010 (beta tranche)
 * Admin: User:Username, 15 January 2009 – 14 January 2010 (alpha tranche)
 * Admin: User:Username, 15 January 2009 – 14 January 2011 (beta tranche)

The Coordinators are elected by popular vote for staggered terms of 12 months; the first election is an exception, where the alpha tranche are elected for 24 months to begin the staggered process. Candidates must have at least 2000 edits at the time of nomination. Any Wikipedian with at least 150 edits may vote.

Some of the qualities coordinators require are similar to those of ArbCom Clerks. Candidates for the coordinator positions declare that they have the following qualities:
 * overall Wikipedia experience of at least two years and a competent knowledge of the pillars and policies of the site;
 * a balanced blend of caution and self-confidence;
 * the ability to be neutral, and to understand and empathise with the perspectives of both non-admins and admins;
 * the ability to apply the admin policies to specific situations and to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information;
 * competence in written communication and a feel for the running of a multistage process;
 * the ability to seek advice from other coordinators where necessary.

In the assessment of candidates, their evolved qualities are more important than measures such as historical block logs.
