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 that the project as a whole is properly informed of them. To provide some examples of 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 it in a clean and easy-to-use state; wear the juice; monitor technical policies and ensure that 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 entail any executive power. Positions Lead Coordinator (one open position): will have overall responsibility for procedural and administrative matters within the project. Coordinator (2–4 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 election process will run for two weeks from December 1, 00:01 UTC, until December 31, 23:59 UTC. Any member of the project may nominate themselves for either position 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 do not wish to do so. The elections will be conducted using simple approval voting. Any member of the project may support a nominee for either position. If the nominee is running for both positions and you wish to support them for only one, please make a note to that effect as part of your vote. Both project members and interested outside parties are encouraged to ask questions of the nominees or to make general comments. Incumbents Name Position Standing for re-election?

Brief statement here Support Comments and questions Nominations Jonesey95 Jonesey95 (talk · contribs) • Interested in Lead or Coordinator position. I'm happy to serve again, if you'll have me. I'm also happy to have someone else lead for a while, if there is interest. I have been creating and managing the drive and blitz pages, along with updating the various GOCE pages as needed. I also do a lot of editing of small articles during drives that I do not record on the drive page, preferring to move to the next article and reduce the overall backlog count rather than record a 200-word edit. Until this most recent term, the GOCE had been pretty free of drama. I caused a bit in October. Please read that discussion before voting. Thanks.

Like a bad penny, I'm back to give Jonesey, Tdslk and Corinne a hand with the backroom stuff. The GOCE is dear to my heart (and keeps me out of mischief :-)), and I'm happy to help keep it humming; many hands make light work.
