Reception123

1. Support Good work on staff. Long time member. No issues here. --EK ● c ● g 17:41, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

4.  Abstain I don't know this user personally, and I want to insure my preferred candidates get in since there are only three seats. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 18:55, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
5.  Abstain as candidate. For what its worth, I do believe the Commission should be a position in which it is without influence of the organization which it assists in process. To me, this would mean that staff members should feel obliged to recuse from such duties so long as they are responsible for other operative portions of Miraheze. Ultimately, this may just be my vision, but it is important to me. dross (t • c • g) 22:04, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

RhinosF1

1. Oppose Although I feel that the user has made some useful contributions to Miraheze, however the user has expressed his inability to be active on Miraheze on a regular basis and is stepping down from staff in 4 days time. Additionally I have some issues with the way that the user handled Requests for Comment/Examknow and Requests for Comment/Examknow followup. For these resaons I am voting my oppose. --EK ● c ● g 17:30, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
2. Support Vote of confidence, willing to help. Hispano76 (talk) 18:09, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

4. Support One of the most insightful and hardworking users I have ever known. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 18:55, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
5. Support per above –Aνδρέας ^{talk | contributions} 21:05, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
   1. Weak support work on your health. –Aνδρέας ^{talk | contributions} 21:07, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
6.  Abstain as candidate. See comments above. Additional concerns of impartiality and finality of community decision, especially per Examknow. dross (t • c • g) 22:05, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
7. Weak oppose While I do trust this user and know all the contributions s/he's done so far, I still think his/her health issue is a concern.--開拓者 (The Pioneer) (^talk/_contribs | global🌎) 03:36, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
8.  Abstain I don't know if I should support him or not, he may be a ressourceful person, but he acts very childish at times and the consensus is not in his favor to begin with. The first oppose says he is not active enough. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 14:01, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
9. Support Eager to help on discord and seems friendly. Citronhat (talk) 10:41, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
10. Support Reading the concerns above I don't think that is important to this role and his relation with the board and knowledge is what will be helpful for his role. --DeeM28 (talk) 09:56, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
11. Support John (talk) 18:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
12.  Neutral per Dross Paladox (talk) 18:34, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Revi

Weak oppose I do not feel comfortable with supporting a user that is "semi-retired" on meta and I would need to see some more activity. --EK ● c ● g 17:45, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

1. Support The user is active, I just have never been around to see them. --EK ● c ● g 17:49, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
2. Support a whiz with the code of conduct elections so come join us here. :) ~ RhinosF1 - _(chat)^{· acc· c} - (     around) 17:51, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
3. Support Experienced editor and active enough. I have nothing more to add Hispano76 (talk) 18:20, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
4. Support Has prior experience with organizing elections (CoCC for example) so I have no doubt that they will be able in this role. Reception123 (talk) (C) 18:23, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
5. Support Plenty of experience running these sorts of elections, and I'm glad to see them aboard! :D –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 18:55, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
6. Support Experienced in organizing elections including the CoCC election here on Miraheze.--開拓者 (The Pioneer) (^talk/_contribs | global🌎) 03:25, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
7. Support –Aνδρέας ^{talk | contributions} 21:10, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
8. Support Intelligent person, he gets my support. He can help the website. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 14:01, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
9. Support Zppix (Meta | CVT Member | talk to me) 20:58, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
10. Support Bertie (talk) 07:31, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
11. Support そらたこ (talk) 13:50, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
12. Support Have also seen this user around on the WMF projects and I am sure his great experience with management will help him. --DeeM28 (talk) 09:56, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
13. Support John (talk) 18:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
14. Support Paladox (talk) 18:31, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Dross

1.  Abstain I do not really know this user too well so I probably shouldn't vote. --EK ● c ● g 17:43, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
2.  Abstain no issue but we've only got 3 seats and I'd like myself to get in :) ~ RhinosF1 - _(chat)^{· acc· c} - (     around) 17:51, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
3.  Abstain I don't know about this user. 「Ф Б 101」(_yell / ^earth) 17:58, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
4. Weak oppose I consider this nomination very soon. I would expect more experience and more interaction with the community before voting in favor. Hispano76 (talk) 18:16, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
5.  Abstain While Dross has been very helpful around Meta, I feel like the commissioner role is different and that the three other candidates are more able to deal with it at the time, as they have more experience in these matters. Reception123 (talk) (C) 18:23, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
6.  Abstain I don't know this user personally, and I want to insure my preferred candidates get in since there are only three seats. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 18:55, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
7. Support One of the problems of Miraheze, IMO, is that certain users tend to have multiple powers at a time, and thus the powers aren't fully separated. I think having a non-staff/admin member on the commission is a good way to change this.--開拓者 (The Pioneer) (^talk/_contribs | global🌎) 03:22, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
8. Support Same as @sig. He is pretty active too and I saw him on a few website-wide rules elections and he always had an agreeable and honest opinion. That being said, he could be a little more active. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 14:01, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
9.  Abstain I do not know this user that well. Zppix (Meta | CVT Member | talk to me) 20:58, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
10.  Abstain I think it is great that Dross is helping out on Miraheze, and that is why I do not want to discourage them with an oppose vote. But, I think it is too early to take on such a role and perhaps there is also not enough knowledge about how things work on Miraheze. --DeeM28 (talk) 09:56, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
11. Support A step in the right direction that Miraheze needs, less sysadmin influence in positions and no previous connections as well. John (talk) 18:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
12. Support Paladox (talk) 18:31, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
