Overview

The project coordinators are responsible for maintaining the procedural and administrative aspects of the project. They are the designated points of contact for procedural issues and are responsible for ensuring the project's members are properly informed of them.

Coordinator duties: the coordinators manage the proposal and creation of new task forces; ensure that project announcement and task lists are kept up-to-date; initiate drafting of guidelines needed by the project; organize the category system; oversee the recruitment of new members, including the use of project notices and other advertising methods; create and maintain collaborative projects if any; maintain the project page and the various guidelines in a clean and easy-to-use state; monitor technical policies and ensure project templates satisfy them; and assist in organizing and promoting any Backlog Elimination Drives.

They are also expected to generally assist project members with any questions or concerns.

The coordinator positions do not confer any executive power.

Positions

Lead Coordinator (one open position): will have overall responsibility for procedural and administrative matters within the project.

Assistant Coordinator (3–4 open positions): will assist the Lead Coordinator by focusing on specific areas within the project that require special attention. These areas will be selected based on need and interest among the coordinators.

Election process

The nomination process will run for two weeks, from December 1, 00:01 UTC, until December 15, 23:59 UTC.
Any member of the project may nominate themselves for either a lead or assistant position—or both—by creating a new section under Nominations below and copying the sample form below. Nominees only interested in one position should indicate this when adding their names. Candidates need not make extensive statements if they don't want to.
The election process will run for two weeks, from December 16, 00:01 UTC, until December 31, 23:59 UTC.
The elections will be conducted using simple approval voting. Any GOCE member may support a nominee for either position. If the nominee is running for both positions and you wish to support them for only one, add a note to that effect as part of your vote.
Project members and interested outside parties are encouraged to ask questions of the nominees or to make general comments.

I am willing to serve as Lead Coordinator again. No drama, and no promises except for regular participation. I hope that my record speaks for itself at this point. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:32, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support: thanks for stepping up for another term, Jonesey. You're doing a great job. --Stfg (talk) 13:34, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Stfg; it's a pleasure working with you. Miniapolis 14:31, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - *looks for record, discovers it is TL;DR* Well, from what I have seen and experienced of you (admittedly not as much as others), I'm happy to re-elect based on the complete lack of actual problems that are on GOCE. When there are no problems, someone has been putting in a lot of work. Now to stop lolly-gagging at the voting and get back to c/e'ing of articles.

Support, GCE seems to be doing well under Jonesey's leadership. -- Mysterious Gopher (talk, contribs), 20:13, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support; I echo and endore the statements above, and your technical knowledge is very useful. ;-). Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 02:14, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What Jonesey said. It's a pleasure to work in such a drama-free zone, which I hope will attract more help with the backlogs. Tell your fellow editors! Miniapolis 03:19, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Me again: I'm willing and ready to ~~wear the juice~~ serve another term alongside my capable and experienced colleagues above. During this term I've helped clean up and restructure some of the Guild's talk page archives. I have no firm plans for the next six months, but if I'm re-elected I hope to help keep the Guild's Request page, Drives and Blitzs running smoothly. I'm a regular, experienced WP copy-editor and I can usually be found around the Requests page.

On the negative side, I'm not the most diplomatic person and can be quite brusque with talk page messages, and I've upset a few editors in the past. I don't forsee any lengthy periods of inactivity, but I may be reducing my WP activity somewhat from around April onwards. I'll still be around though, RL-willing.

Support: thanks for all the work you do here. Your diplomacy is just fine. --Stfg (talk) 13:34, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Stfg. Your sense of humor is very much appreciated, and there are no problems with your communication style. Miniapolis 14:38, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Thank you for your work on the Requests page, on talk page archive maintenance, and in thinking about what the GOCE needs to look and function better. Looking forward to serving with you again. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:27, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
~~Wear the Juice~~ Support - What is this "diplomacy" you speak of? I know of the "straight-to-the-point" comments you make, which often solve the problems before they start; I know of the "humour" you employ; but this "diplomacy" seems to have already worked since you actually get the job(/s) done and solve the problems that pop-up occasionally, as well as help out new or confused Copy-Editors such as myself and others. Happy to support you, Doctor Crazy in Room 102 of The Mental Asylum 06:17, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
