[Wikimedia-l] Movement Charter - Invite to share feedback about Roles and Responsiblities

2023-08-14 Thread Movement Charter Drafting Committee


Hi everyone,

As we continue our collaborative journey toward shaping the Charter for the 
Wikimedia movement together, we are excited to invite you to contribute 
your insights to the Roles and Responsibilities draft 
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Content/Roles_%26_Responsibilities>.
 Your 
feedback is welcome on the Talk page of the draft 
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Movement_Charter/Content/Roles_%26_Responsibilities#Draft_chapter_(2023)>
.

This draft chapter both proposes changes aimed at strengthening 
subsidiarity in the Wikimedia movement and also acknowledges certain 
processes that could remain unchanged due to their established efficiency. 
The draft encompasses the roles and responsibilities of volunteers, 
communities, movement bodies, and the Wikimedia Foundation. Your input and 
insights are crucial to this endeavour as we collectively work to shape a 
movement that embraces innovation while remaining grounded in its proven 
successes.

We look forward to your valuable feedback.

On behalf of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee,

Anass

Hi everyone,

Following the Global Council draft that was published two weeks ago, it is 
my pleasure to announce that the Hubs draft chapter 
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Content/Hubs> and the 
*Charter 
Glossary* 
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Content/Glossary> is out 
for your review and feedback. It has been a long process for the Movement 
Charter Drafting Committee to deliver these drafts, and we are excited to 
share them with you. 


In the Hubs draft, you will find the proposed definition and purpose of 
Wikimedia hubs: the set-up and governance process for hubs (which also 
includes an open question from the committee), responsibilities, 
fundraising, and fund dissemination as it relates to hubs, and more.

Now, we are looking forward to your feedback in order to improve the 
drafts. Learn more about Hubs in our new blogpost on Diff 
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/07/27/building-wikimedia-movement-hubs-together/>,

<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Movement_Charter/Content/Hubs>, and join 
upcoming conversations 
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Community_Consultation> 
to share your thoughts before September 1, 2023. 

We also invite you to join us on July 30 at 14.00 UTC 
<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1690725614> for a live call and ask your 
questions. Register here to join us on Zoom,

On behalf of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee,

With kind regards,


Ciell
