Electoral Commission
Hi James. I'm one of the users volunteering as an arbitration election coordinator, and I just found out that as of this year, the Foundation decided to revoke the status of Securepoll admin from the Electoral Commissioners. Was this just some sort of technical/procedural measure, or an official office action? And is this meant to be a one-off situation, or a permanent shift in policy/practice? And, lastly, is this access something the community can decide on in the next RfC, or is it off-limits? I just want to make sure that the election infrastructure (i.e. the written procedures and practices) itself is kept up-to-date with any changes. Thanks, Swarm  talk  00:58, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Swarm, I explained some of this on an email thread with a couple of the other coordinators prior to the election but I'm not sure you were on it somehow. I'm sorry about that! Obviously to a certain degree this is an office action in that it came from us (and we did it for privacy reasons) but in general I would consider it a mostly technical/procedural measure that we intended as a shift in practice after working with a couple community elections now (especially enWP and Farsi Wikipedia). We realized that there was both a general lack of need for the main election coordinators to have access once the election began (the Stewards scrutineers used it the most because they were the ones checking votes) and, frequently, a lack of understanding about the quantity of data that was available to those who had not been actively involved in elections prior including most voters. Specifically any securepoll admin was able to see the raw IP address and user agent (along with other technical data) for all voters at any point without a log of that access or need for specific "reason" to use it. Since SecurePoll admins had never been in need of that information (mostly intended to be for vote checking) it made sense to remove that right under our general "least access needed" doctrine. I don't think we'd consider it entirely off-limits for future election RfC's but if it was decided in the future we would probably request that be treated as if it was an election for CheckUser access since in many ways they get access to signficantly more access then normal CUs. I know that normally CheckUser elections are an ArbCom function on enWP but other communities do it via a regular election process so that may still be possible. Does that answer your questions? Jalexander--WMF 01:10, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's very helpful, thanks for the fast and thorough reply! It seems like a perfectly reasonable adjustment to make and I doubt anyone will actually notice, much less care, but it's best to be on the same page. Thanks again, Swarm  talk  02:34, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Before you (or anyone else) get too confused, coordinators != commissioners which is why Swarm didn't get the email. Thanks for the request for clarification Swarm, and thanks for the quick response James. -- KTC (talk) 11:20, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
