Talk:WikiConference UK 2012/Elections/Questions

Why can't questions be asked of specific candidates? There is no such rule mentioned on last year's page (although the layout of the page does assume it). These elections are a very serious matter and if someone has concerns about a particular candidate they should be able to share those concerns with the rest of the membership. Doing so via a question (so as to automatically give the candidate right-of-reply) makes a lot of sense to me. There are also less controversial questions that won't be relevant to every candidate - for example, it would be sensible to ask outgoing board members what they feel their greatest achievement on the board had been and what they would have liked to have done/done better, but there is no point asking that of people that haven't been on the board. --Tango (talk) 09:32, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
