2018-07-19 Thread Lucas Teles
Those are excellent news!

I wonder if there are any plans on working on less rich countries. They
usually have less internet access and would benefit from that.

Wikipedia Zero has just expired in Angola and I can’t imagine a best way to
replace that source of knowledge withou having to deal with the negative
side of it.

Concerning the many users from Angola that reached out to me complaining
about the end of Wikipedia Zero in Angola, giving them access to Kiwix will
be of enormous help.

 Dear Craig and SJ,

> > Which group focuses on information quality and accuracy?
>And which group focuses on information breadth and coverage?
If these are cross-cutting issues touching on many groups, where should
relevant input go?

Thank you for forwarding your questions and input in relation to the
strategy process!

We have not yet set up a place or page where collect the input on meta, but
we plan to do so in the near future. Currently I can invite you to leave
the questions and comments on the *Working Group talk page* [1], so it can
be commented on and later be fed into relevant Working Group. You can also
add tags / comments to state where you think they might fit in.

The topics you have mentioned in this thread are indeed cross-cutting and
related to various Working Groups. What I can suggest is publish the
question with rationale behind it in the context of the proposed thematic
areas for Working Groups. Regarding the wide scope of the proposed
questions, it would make sense to provide some more context and specify
diverse aspects of these questions, so their focus would be more clear for
the Working Groups and they can be better fed into discussions / be
commented on.

Personally, at a first superficial glance, I can see strongest connections
for these questions to the Diversity, Partnerships and Product & Technology
groups, but like I said, it would be easier to say, if the questions would
be more elaborated. Feel free to share your point of view or understanding!

Thank you for bringing this topic up and looking forward to receiving more
input from you throughout the process!

Wishing you a nice end of the week!

Hi SJ,

I think everyone who is taking part in this stage of the strategy process
already knows about it.

There was of course an open call for members of the working groups a few
weeks ago, and the working groups will have some unspecified method of
involving the broader community in these conversations, though I expect the
only substantive conversations will happen among working group members -
just as to date the only substantive conversations about movement strategy
have happened at the Wikimedia Conference.

I genuinely don't know whether anyone including WMF thinks the WMF advisory
board still exists.

That's a good find. Hopefully every working group will be tasked with
making their work explicitly consistent with the actual mission of

No-one seems to be particularly sure if the Advisory Board is still a
thing or not.

https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Advisory_Board is marked as
historical and possibly inaccurate, and it hasn't been edited for
about 7 years!

Maria, thanks, much appreciated!

Which group focuses on information quality and accuracy?

What's the role of the Advisory Board?

Thanks!

Dear Wikimedians,

In 2017, the Wikimedia movement began a collaborative process to define
what we want to build or achieve together by 2030. After eight months of
discussion, across languages, geographies, and contexts, the outcome
was a Strategic
Direction

focused on knowledge as a service and knowledge equity:

“By 2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the
ecosystem of free knowledge, and anyone who shares our vision will be able
to join us.[1]”

Now our task as a movement is to apply the Strategic Direction to our own
work. We need to answer questions that define our path forward: What kind
of structures are ideal for achieving our strategic direction? What
resources and capacities do we need to develop? How do we relate to each
other and make decisions as a movement? How do we manage change in a
healthy, sustainable way?

Over the next year, the Wikimedia movement will engage in a structured,
distributed process to answer these questions. The process will be
structured around Working Groups who will develop guidance in key Thematic
Areas.[2]

The Board of Trustees is committed to the Movement Strategy process and
each of us will join one of the Working Groups:


  -

  Roles & Responsibilities: Nataliia
  -

  Revenue Streams: Tanya
  -

  Resource Allocation: María
  -

  Partnerships: Raju
  -

  Community Health: James
  -

  Product & Technology: Christophe
  -

  Capacity Building: Dariusz
  -

  Diversity: Esra’a
  -

  Advocacy: Jimmy


We will play two specific roles in this process:

  1.

  Individually, as members of the Working Groups
  2.
 1.

 participate mindfully in ourtheir individual capacity,
 2.

 bring our their content expertise and experience to the discussion,
 3.

 ensure the information flow from the Working Group to the Board,
 4.

 support an effective, and inclusive process.
 3.

  Collectively, as the Board of Trustees
  4.
 1.

 review recommendations from each Working Group and provide feedback,
 2.

 resolve difficult questions as required and adhere to decisions made,
 3.

 delegate approval of recommendations to an appropriate community
 mechanism whenever possible (such as endorsement or consensus),
 4.

 make decisions when there is no other mechanism to make the decision,
 5.

 accept the recommendations that are consistent with the movement’s
 values, the Strategic Direction as well as law and other compliance
 requirements,
 6.

 direct resources, budgets and capacities for the implementation of
 approved recommendations.


This statement captures the perspective of the Board of Trustees, and we
believe that the process is a unique opportunity for the movement to build
and shape our future together. We will participate in strategy
conversations and sessions at Wikimania[3], and look forward to
contributing throughout the process together with many of you. We encourage
those who are attending Wikimania to also join these conversations and all
Wikimedians to participate in all the upcoming strategic conversations and
consultations.

[Wikimedia-l] Board of Trustees participation in the Movement Strategy Process

2018-07-19 Thread María Sefidari
Dear Wikimedians,

In 2017, the Wikimedia movement began a collaborative process to define
what we want to build or achieve together by 2030. After eight months of
discussion, across languages, geographies, and contexts, the outcome
was a Strategic
Direction

focused on knowledge as a service and knowledge equity:

“By 2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the
ecosystem of free knowledge, and anyone who shares our vision will be able
to join us.[1]”

Now our task as a movement is to apply the Strategic Direction to our own
work. We need to answer questions that define our path forward: What kind
of structures are ideal for achieving our strategic direction? What
resources and capacities do we need to develop? How do we relate to each
other and make decisions as a movement? How do we manage change in a
healthy, sustainable way?

Over the next year, the Wikimedia movement will engage in a structured,
distributed process to answer these questions. The process will be
structured around Working Groups who will develop guidance in key Thematic
Areas.[2]

The Board of Trustees is committed to the Movement Strategy process and
each of us will join one of the Working Groups:


   -

   Roles & Responsibilities: Nataliia
   -

   Revenue Streams: Tanya
   -

   Resource Allocation: María
   -

   Partnerships: Raju
   -

   Community Health: James
   -

   Product & Technology: Christophe
   -

   Capacity Building: Dariusz
   -

   Diversity: Esra’a
   -

   Advocacy: Jimmy


We will play two specific roles in this process:

   1.

   Individually, as members of the Working Groups
   2.
  1.

  participate mindfully in ourtheir individual capacity,
  2.

  bring our their content expertise and experience to the discussion,
  3.

  3.

  delegate approval of recommendations to an appropriate community

  5.

  accept the recommendations that are consistent with the movement’s
  values, the Strategic Direction as well as law and other compliance
  requirements,
  6.

  direct resources, budgets and capacities for the implementation of
  approved recommendations.


This statement captures the perspective of the Board of Trustees, and we
believe that the process is a unique opportunity for the movement to build
and shape our future together. We will participate in strategy
conversations and sessions at Wikimania[3], and look forward to
contributing throughout the process together with many of you. We encourage

And because I can't step down properly, a part of the email was missing,
here is the complete version



*Hello everyone,*





































*I am happy to make some announcements about the Wikimedia Foundation Board
of Trustees. As of today, Tanya Capuano has formally joined the Board.
Tanya is an experienced financial professional who has worked as a Vice
President of Finance for Intuit, and more recently as CFO for the software
firm G5. She is passionate about education, having served on the boards of
various educational nonprofits.Tanya will enrich the financial and
accounting skills critical to the oversight of the Foundation and to her
role as Chair of the Foundation’s Audit Committee, to which she was also
elected today. Please join me in warming welcoming her in the Wikimedia
movement. As Tanya joins us, we also see Kelly Battles and Alice Wiegand,
two very valuable trustees, leave us as their terms of service come to a
close. Both of them have been stellar trustees who helped the board and the
Foundation grow and become a more robust organisation.Kelly and Alice, you
have brought so much to the Foundation and to the movement, and it has been
an immense pleasure serving with you. I can only hope, as has often been
the case with other former trustees, our movement will be lucky enough we
keep seeing both of you around and that you keep on bringing your
experience, skills, and wisdom to all of us. As you might have noticed we
still are one trustee short, with a total of nine. We are currently
searching for a tenth Trustee, with a technology and platform background;
you can read the profile here on Commons
.
Today the Board also voted to appoint María Sefidari as Chair and
Christophe Henner as Vice Chair. After serving as Chair for two terms, I
decided to step down and support María as Chair, hopefully as effectively
as she served me and the organization when she was my Vice Chair. María and
I both have a long history of involvement in the Wikimedia community, and
prior to coming to the Foundation, held leadership roles in local Wikimedia
organizations.In addition, the Board re-elected Nataliia Tymkiv as Chair of
the Board Governance Committee, supported by BGC members James Heilman and
Dariusz Jemielniak, and alternates Raju Narisetti and María. We also
elected Raju as Chair of the Human Resources Committee, with members María
and Dariusz.  Finally, as noted, we elected Tanya Capuano as Chair of the
Audit Committee, with Christophe and Raju as members and María and Jimmy as
alternates.  More about Christophe, María, and the Committee Chairs are
below. I hope you will join me in congratulating them on their new
positions and wish them success in their terms ahead.On a more personal
note, I would like to thank everyone for the last two years. This is not
farewell, but the last two years have been a roller coaster and I am proud
I had the chance to serve as Chair and helped us building up the future of
the movement. We have achieved a lot in the last 24 months, and the best is
yet to come!ChristopheAbout Tanya CapuanoTanya Pine Capuano most recently
was the chief financial officer (CFO) of the data-driven marketing company
G5 in Bend, Oregon. Originally from San Jose, California, she has
wide-ranging experience including strategy and financial planning and
analysis in technology. In addition to her recent role at G5, she has also
worked for Hewlett-Packard and Intuit.She has also supported numerous
education initiatives throughout her career; including serving on the
boards of Education Pioneers, Los Altos Educational Foundation, and “I Have
a Dream” Foundation San Francisco, an organization whose San Francisco
chapter she co-founded.She is very involved with Stanford University alumni
life, having earned a bachelor's in economics, a master's in education, and
a master of business administration from the university. After graduating,
she worked as the university’s Director of Alumni Relations and Development
Director for the Initiative on Improving K-12 Education. She has also
served on the board of the Stanford University Graduate School of
Business.Tanya lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two
children. They enjoy traveling as a family and outdoor sports.About María
