Role
The role of Managing Editor is established by the following articles of the Citizendium Charter.
Article 36:
- The Managing Editor has the following duties:
- to ensure by means of executive decisions that the principles and policies of the Citizendium are effectively and coherently observed; such decisions shall be based on established policy where defined;
- to make interim decisions on behalf of the Editorial and Management Councils when established policy does not provide guidance; these decisions shall be overridden by the establishment of relevant policy;
- to represent the Citizendium in its relations with external bodies, such as the mass media, and academic or non-academic institutions.
Article 26:
The Managing Editor shall be elected by a simple majority of the voting citizenry during the same election period as the Management Council. For this election, up to four candidates shall be selected by the Management Council, taken from a list of Editors nominated by the community.
Mode of practice
Currently being worked out (see also Guidelines, or this forum thread and this one). For a general outline, see the election statement of the incumbent, Daniel Mietchen. Meanwhile, if issues arise that require (or would benefit from) attention by the Managing Editor, please post them under Community input.
