Hello all, It will be good to have time aside before the meeting for those interested in movement roles. But the important discussions of the working group should be held online, and in advance of the conference.
The main opportunity in Berlin is not to have discussions among ourselves that we could have now online; it is to connect with those who will already be there -- in our role as facilitators of discussion among chapters. Similarly, there should be open discussions of movement-wide responsibilities at Wikimania and the Wikimedia Conference every year. But I don't think we should fly people in just to take part in those discussions.

Agreed - our focus should be on finishing work online. The group does not currently have a budget; if there are one or two active participants who could get there easily and whom it makes sense to invite, we can ask for support for them.
