The WCA Ethics Committee (WEC) is seeking new members to help them with their mission! The applications are open to everyone; it’s not a requirement to hold a current position in the WCA to be considered.

What does the WEC do?

  • Maintaining and updating the Code of Ethics.
  • Ensures that all procedures followed by WCA Staff abide by the Code of Ethics.
  • Performs independent investigations if any WCA Staff member is not compliant with said Code of Ethics.
  • Confidant for Registered Speedcubers that request investigations.
  • Functions as the board of appeal if any involved party disagrees with a decision made by the WCA Disciplinary Committee.

The official rights and duties of the WEC are documented in WCA Motion 10.2021.4.

The qualities and requirements expected of candidates are:

  • Clear background
  • Personal time management skills
  • Ability to discuss reasoning and ideas
  • Familiarity with WCA activities

The application period is open for applicants to submit their application documents from now until October 3rd, 2021, 23:59 UTC to Blake Thompson (bthompson@worldcubeassociation.org).

Candidacy documents must be in PDF format, and must include:

  • A brief personal introduction
  • Summary of activities done within the cubing community
  • Motivation for applying to join the WEC

Applicants can expect an immediate reply to confirm the receipt of the application, and may later receive a request to be interviewed. Anyone with questions about applying can contact Blake Thompson (bthompson@worldcubeassociation.org).

After the application period, the WEC Leader will make a selection and the new members will be announced once applicants have accepted the positions.

Thank you for your candidacies and support!
