Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Affiliates] Changes to current chapter and thematic organisation criteria

[Brill Lyle]

I agree with Lane.

Setting higher criteria is all well and good -- as is expecting boards to
be cognizant of these expectations.

But we are dealing with volunteers doing a significant amount of free
digital labor and organizing. To set a bar super high in that structure is
a lot to expect of people contributing their T

Both Lane and I are part of Wikimedia NYC, a very active chapter that
somehow (I believe) manages to meet these criteria amidst almost
exponential growth of activities. The administrative burden on both our
leadership and membership is heavy, and I am grateful for everyone's pitch
in / can do approach and willingness to contribute.

And no, the answer is not to do less events and have less support to
institutional partners and various initiatives. That's not practical or
good for anyone.

But it brings to mind a recent trip I made where I visited the Wikimedia
Deutschland offices. Where there was a whole room (!) of 6 fully set up
computers with I am assuming the same number of staff for Event planning
alone -- all which I assume are paid positions. That really made me pause
in shock. And feel like a bit of an idiot that our chapter does so much
without that type of structural support.

So while I understand the idea of these criteria, to have the balance beam
heavily weighted on requirements without attendant support is not a
workable model.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Affiliates] Changes to current chapter and thematic organisation criteria

[Pine W]

Hi Carlos,

In general, I like the new criteria.

I would like to suggest making the criteria entirely quantitative, so that
there is minimal subjectivity about whether or not affiliates are meeting
these standards and therefore there is likely to be less controversy about
the status of affiliates.

I would also suggest that existing chapters should be evaluated routinely,
perhaps in alternate years, to verify that they meet the criteria. If they
don't, they can be put on probation for 6 months, and if after that time
they still fall below the new standards, then they will be demoted to user
group status and can re-apply for chapter status after a year. This would
be a way to level the playing field between existing chapters, and user
groups who wish to be chapters.

Thanks,

Pine

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Affiliates] Changes to current chapter and thematic organisation criteria

[Romaine Wiki]

The criteria are for those groups who want to apply for an official status
at WMF. In general I think all chapters should try to meet with these
criteria. If a chapter is not able to structurally full-fill these
criteria, a different board is the solution to revive the chapter.

I personally think the criteria are a balanced set of guidelines to be
followed.

It is important for the movement to share the experiences and the results.
Much more should be shared through best practices, how to's, reports and
newsletters, like https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter for
collaborations with various partner organisations.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Affiliates] Changes to current chapter and thematic organisation criteria

[Lane Rasberry]

Hello,

Do these criteria apply to existing groups? Maybe I misunderstand, but from
this proposal it sounds like new groups will be held to significantly
higher standards than any currently recognized organizations. Is that the
case?

yours,

[Wikimedia-l] Changes to current chapter and thematic organisation criteria

[Carlos M. Colina]

Dear all,

On behalf of the Affiliations Committee, I would like to present some 
changes to the current chapter and thematic organisation criteria, which 
we will begin piloting as we officially reopen applications for chapter 
and thematic organization status. Until now, the criteria had not 
clearly defined what constitutes sufficient programmatic activity to 
justify chapter or thematic organisation status. To address this issue, 
we have set out three new criteria:


1. Diversity of Activities: Chapters and thematic organisations are
   expected to plan and conduct a variety of different programs and
   events; to balance online and offline projects; to strive for
   continuous activity; and to conduct programs and events at least
   once every two months.
2. Planning and Evaluation: Chapters and thematic organisations are
   expected to set specific goals and targets for programs, projects,
   and events before executing them; to measure the results of
   programs, projects, and events against those targets; and to report
   on those results to the Wikimedia Foundation and the wider Wikimedia
   movement.
3. External Partnerships: Chapters and thematic organisations are
   expected to engage in programmatic partnerships with external groups
   and organizations (for example, cultural, academic, or government
   institutions, and so on) to promote the Wikimedia movement and to
   add and improve content on Wikimedia projects.

In order to officially reopen the chapter and thematic organization 
recognition process, the Board of Trustees has instructed the 
Affiliations Committee to provisionally use these three new criteria for 
all new applicants. In addition, potential chapters and thematic 
organisations will continue to be assessed against the existing legal, 
governance, and viability criteria; more details, including the benefits 
and limitations of these affiliation models, are available on Meta.[1] [2]


Please note that the use of these three new criteria is a pilot; there 
will be opportunities to share feedback about the criteria, as well as 
other ways to help define the chapter and thematic organisation 
affiliate models, during the upcoming strategy consultation. The 
Affiliations Committee and the Board of Trustees will continue to 
evaluate results and feedback during the initial pilot period and 
consider potential revisions to the criteria before they are finalized.


Thank you,
M.
