2026 Tiki Admin Group Nominations

2026 Tiki Admin Group Nomination

The Tiki Admin Group (see the current list of admins) has from time to time nominated new admins. In 2016, we've decided to establish the process of holding regular nominations annually but we did not quite follow up on that. We are sorry about that. Now in 2026 we finally have some TAG member nominations to be considered again.

Anyone who is in the Tiki Community can nominate someone else (i.e., not themselves) to join the Admin Group. The period of nominations will run for two weeks from March 21st to April 4th, 2026. Please send nominations in secret to admin at tiki.org, providing a short paragraph explaining why nominees should be considered. The reason why we have opted for secret nomination is to avoid disappointing any of the nominees in the event they are not accepted for any reason, as they may well be considered again the year after.

Once the nomination period is over, the current Tiki Admin Group will take up to a maximum of two weeks to discuss the candidates and arrive at a shortlist that will involve a vote among the TAG members. The Tiki Admin Group will contact shortlisted candidates individually to determine their level of interest. Once a decision has been made on the new admins, an announcement will be made to welcome them into their new role.

Retiring of Admins to Become Elders

Each year, at the same time nominations for new admins are held, existing admins that have become inactive for a period of over 12 months will be retired into the Elders group. As a matter of process, if and when an Elder becomes active again, the admins at that time will vote on inviting them back to become an admin. In other words, it is a similar process to being nominated by a member of the community, but there is no need to wait till the annual nomination.
