[Wikimedia-l] September Wikimedia Foundation Board Meeting Outcomes

[Nataliia Tymkiv]

Dear all,

The Wikimedia Foundation Board recently met in Berlin for our quarterly
Board meeting, before a majority of the trustees attended this year’s
Wikimedia Summit. This was our second in person Board meeting since the
pandemic, and we used the two days to review critical governance and
election decisions and kick off a conversation around strategic planning
aligned with the 2030 movement strategy goals. Several members of the
Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) joined us as we continue to work
together and share visibility of Board governance.

On Wednesday, three Board committees - the Governance Committee, Talent and
Culture Committee and the Community Affairs Committee (CAC) - met and
conducted regular business. Anass Sedrati and Manavpreet Kaur joined the
Community Affairs Committee meeting as representatives of the MCDC. They
provided valuable input (and fresh eyes!) on the ongoing work of the CAC.

The next day was our Board meeting, and we were joined by Risker and Daria
Cybulska from the MCDC. This was also our first opportunity to meet face to
face with Selena Deckelmann, the Foundation’s new Chief Product and
Technology Officer, and hear more about her first impressions from her
ongoing listening tour with staff and volunteers.

We spent the first half of the day discussing a few big questions around
the Foundation’s long term strategic goals and its key stakeholders. We
looked at models for the lifecycle of an organization and how that may be
relevant to a global movement. This discussion will help us shape our March
2023 Board meeting where we plan to begin developing a longer term
strategic plan for the Foundation that connects the Foundation’s annual
plan to the broader goals of the 2030 movement strategy and also addresses
ongoing external trends around access to information.



During the Board meeting, we also spent time discussing governance topics.
After a year of discussion and input, the Board voted to keep its size at
12 for the next two years [1]. You can read our rationale here [2]. Members
of the Board will be meeting with the Elections Committee in November where
we will debrief on the 2021 and 2022 Board elections, review the
committee’s charter, and begin working through what is required for a
successful 2024 Board election. We plan to keep you all informed along the
way.

The Board also approved an update to the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC)
to remove a footnote within the policy itself
,
specifically within section 3.1, which created equity issues within our
community and did not meet its intended purposes of supporting a safe and
inclusive environment [3]. As usual, we approved the minutes of the
previous Board meeting in June [4].

The majority of the Board stayed for the Summit and I would like to thank
the many people who came together to make the Summit happen. It had been
years since we were together in Berlin, and I appreciated the time I was
able to spend with Wikimedians.

Overall, we were impressed with how well the integration of live in-person
and virtual participation worked, especially with such a large event. It is
a model that hopefully can be replicated in the future as it is a great way
to reduce barriers to participation. It was great to reconnect with people
that we have not seen in almost three years. This allowed us to make sure
we are all on the same track regarding strategy - old and new. Thank you
for the candid conversations and open dialogue in the individual tracks.

P.S. And as a reminder – there is a "Conversation with the [Wikimedia
Foundation] Trustees" session hosted by the CAC in a few hours today, so
you can register for the event or send your question to ask...@wikimedia.org
[5]. The call will be recorded, and there will be a live YouTube stream
.

Queering Wikipedia 2022 Meeting for LGBT+ Wikimedians and allies.

The program will start with an informative* and inspirational,
social and cultural activity on Friday 21st October at 18:00 UTC

This is an inward facing event in a Meeting format

supporting LGBT+ activities or if you identify as part of the larger
LGBT+ community and allies in Wikimedia, please come help us build our
network of LGBT+ Wikimedians, set goals and develop our organization.

We will be meeting online using the Zoom platform, but encourage you
to join in person with fellow Wikimedians if easy and safe. Our
working languages are English and Spanish.

More information, and registration details, may be found on Meta
