Wookieepedia:EduCorps/EduCorps Bylaws

Wookieepedia &gt; EduCorps &gt; 

This page lists the procedural bylaws of the EduCorps for posterity and quick reference.

Procedures

 * The EC has decided that a minimum consensus of at least three EC members present on IRC is needed to remove from an EC meeting page an article nominated for review for a future meeting in the instances that others have satisfactorily handled the objections to that article prior to the meeting. Consensus can also be reached on the meeting page itself; see the instructions page for details. This is done in an effort to eliminate any unnecessary time spent looking at articles during meetings.
 * A consensus of at least 3 EC support votes is needed on the CAN page to remove a nomination. This consensus of 3 support votes can alternatively be obtained from present users in IRC. This is typically done when a nomination has become idle after a period of one week with remaining outstanding objections from reviewers.
 * Likewise, a consensus of at least 3 EC support votes is needed on the CAN page to strike an objection from a reviewer that is deemed otherwise invalid (For what constitutes an invalid objection, refer to the accompanying section below). This consensus of 3 support votes can alternatively be obtained from present users in IRC, in which case a note will be left on the CAN page that the objection has been stricken via EC consensus. However, if the nominator of the article in question is an EC member, he/she cannot be included in the 3 support votes.
 * Nominations that exhibit strong evidence showing that the nominator has no inclination to work on the article during the review process will be candidates for the "nonsense nomination clause" and can be removed short of the stipulated one-week idle period with a consensus of 3 EC support votes. This consensus of 3 support votes can alternatively be obtained from present users in IRC, in which case a note will be left on the CAN page that the nomination has been removed via EC consensus.
 * A nomination can be removed from the CAN page at the request of the original nominator without the need for a formal vote by EC members.
 * During EduCorps meetings, absentee votes may be overridden by present members of a given meeting when necessary in the event that a new development regarding an article arises that otherwise renders absentee votes/comments obsolete for the purpose of reaching a decision on said article. At least 3 support votes with less than 2 opposed from present members will be required to override absentee votes.

Invalid objection rationale

 * An objection from a reviewer may be considered invalid if said reviewer has been inactive for a period of time longer than one week.
 * In the event of two or more objections in direct conflict with each other, a single objection may be deemed valid by consensus, and all other conflicting objections will be considered invalid.
 * An objection may be considered invalid if said objection is identified as contradicting established Policies on Wookieepedia. This will specifically include, but not be limited to, the following policies: Manual of Style&mdash;Layout Guide&mdash;Sourcing&mdash;Neutral point of view.

Paperwork and meeting scheduling duties
During Meeting 11, the EduCorps decided that all ECs must participate in the post-meeting paperwork duties as well as in meeting scheduling. A list of ECs in random order was formed for upcoming meetings, which can be altered when the EC membership is changed. When each pass through the ECs is completed, the rotation will restart with the first member.
