CZ:Managing Editor/2010/007 - Criteria for Editorship

Statement of problem
''Please be brief and specific in your request (polar questions are best) and add relevant links if available. Please state a time frame in which you expect a decision.'' Currently, there are no clear guidelines as to how expertise should be recognized in the framework of the project. These guidelines will have to be issued by the Editorial Council, and a request for them to do so was made a month ago, yet it has still not entered their formal process. I will thus collect ideas on the matter here and forward them to the EC when they are ready to handle the matter. --Daniel Mietchen 11:58, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
