[Wikimedia-l] Re: Voting now open on the revised Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct

2023-01-31 Thread Patrick Earley 
Hello all,

The vote on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines is now
closed. The results will be scrutinized by independent volunteers to ensure
that only eligible votes are included. Please allow up to two weeks for
this process to be completed.

Results will be published on Meta-wiki and other movement forums as soon as
they become available, as well as information on future steps. Thank you to
all who participated in the voting process, and who have contributed to the
drafting of Guidelines.

Best,
Patrick

[Wikimedia-l] One Year Update

Hi everyone - This month marked my official one-year anniversary as CEO of
the Wikimedia Foundation. Based on some feedback from this list,  I have
tried to send a regular update every few months (see January
,
April
,
June
,
September
).
I wanted to send another one today to reflect on my first year, and share
upcoming work we have planned at the Foundation.

Some of you may recall that I prepared for joining Wikimedia with a
two-month listening tour

that led me to talk to a few hundred volunteers and Foundation staff across
55 countries. This shaped the five puzzles

and three priorities

that I shared with you when I started. These puzzles continue to guide what
I believe are the biggest questions we must answer collectively, especially
the question of, "what does the world need from us now?"

I also completed the three priorities I outlined last January: (1)
reimagining the Foundation's annual plan

to be more firmly anchored in our movement's strategic direction; (2)
recruiting a capable Chief Product & Technology Officer

for the Wikimedia Foundation; and (3) starting to refresh the
Foundation's organizational
values  to
guide our ways of working with each other, and with all of you.

English Fundraising Campaign

As 2022 came to a close, a Request for Comment (RfC) launched on English
Wikipedia

to propose changes to the messaging of year-end fundraising banners. The
Wikimedia Foundation accepted the guidance provided by the RfC, and
established a co-creation page
 to seek
volunteer input on banner messaging from community members. Throughout the
fundraising campaign, the Foundation team posted regular updates to this
co-creation page. In brief, over 450+ banners were tested during this
year's campaign, and $24.7M of revenue was raised compared to the original
$30M goal (a shortfall of $5.3 million). During the first few days, the new
banners resulted in about 70% less revenue than on the corresponding days
in the prior year. Additional information on the campaign results are
posted here
.
The fundraising team will continue to work with all language communities on
banner messaging in the year ahead, and we look forward to building on what
we learned in this campaign.

The RfC raised a much wider range of issues than just fundraising
banners. While
anticipated revenue shortfalls made this a difficult period for the
Foundation, I believe we tried to hear these broader concerns, many of
which are shared across communities beyond English Wikipedia.

One concern was about the very rapid budget growth of the Foundation, which
has stabilized in the last year. Given the revenue gap from this year's
English campaign, we are reviewing and lowering our expenditure for the
current year. And I anticipate we will have a reduced budget and certainly
slower growth next year. We will have more information by April on future
financial projections.

I communicated previously that I have started frank conversations with the
Board of Trustees and Foundation staff about what roles the Foundation
should grow (like support for technology) and what activities we should
hand over to others or stop altogether. Looking ahead, the size of

Dear all,

Kindly note:
1) this mailing list has hundreds subscribers;
2) the mailing list is not a chat/messenger, it is should consist only the
important information, so no one will miss it;
3) overcrowding the mailing list with non-mandatory personal short
replies/requests is not polite, as you should remember that hundreds of
people will read it.

If you have any requests/questions, please address them privately to the
single recipient of your request/question, not hundreds of people that have
to read it.
If you would like to thank someone from the mailing list, please do so
privately, avoiding hundreds of people reading it.

Finally, I would like to apologize for sending this essential email that
everyone has to read, but I hope at least this one will stop the continuing
requests/questions/replies on private matters.

Thank you for understanding, and have a nice day.

Best regards,
Levon
