Just so it's clear -- Stephen *posted* the FAQ and minutes for us -- he
helps out the board by posting documents and taking minutes during the
meeting -- but the decisions, and the FAQ, were written by members of the
board in what I can promise was a highly collaborative process :)

That said, I find it strange that you would accuse him of anything. Not
that it matters, but in his free time he's been volunteering with Wikipedia
events, coding and editing for years. Regardless, though, he was just doing
his job here -- as requested *by the board*, and specifically by me  -- so
please lay off the criticism of him. I have nothing but respect for our
ultra-hard-working LCA team.

Some chapters have asked to consider the possibility for multi-year
funding, in order to make planning easier. The WMF indicated that it was
something difficult to do since the funding of the whole movement is
planned on an annual basis. Does it mean that this argument is now moot ?

My first reaction to this: why is the WMF board pretending to be more
and more a board overseeing the whole community ? I can understand
concerns "about new groups legally incorporating before they need to or
are ready to", but this remains up to the groups to decide -- and one
thing about which there is no doubt is that they will know better than
the WMF board if they need to be incorporated and when (if only because
they know they local legal landscape much better than the WMF does).

It is indeed up to the WMF to decide the conditions a group must have
achieved before being recognized as a chapter or thematic organization.
However, this is an assessment at a given point in time. How the group
actually got there should have no influence on the result.

I see that the WMF ED suggested the change, and that it was not endorsed
by the Affcom (which is interesting in itself). But why doesn't the
community have a chance to comment on how it should organize itself ?

So if you had asked the Swiss chapter, for example, we would have
mentioned that a "user group" would be close to useless in our country.
That would basically be a group of people having meetings in a
restaurant once in a while, but it just does not exist as a group: it
can not get access to grants (it can not even have a bank account, so
any money received would be received by a single member in his own name
-- making the user group useless), can not be granted trademark usage.
This is why creating an association in Switzerland is an extremely light
process: take 2 people, get them to write one page of bylaws and voilà,
the association is incorporated and it can open a bank account. So long
for "becoming a chapter or thematic organization involves much more
corporate overhead".

Maybe the board's reasoning makes sense in the US, I don't know (I will
not pretend that I know how people in other country should operate). It
does not makes sense in Switzerland, and likely nor in other countries.
But alas, this does not seem to be taken into account by the board when
it takes decision.

What about Phoebe as a woman? Or Phoebe as a librarian? Or as a
brassratgirl? Horrors.

Your unnecessary hyperbole aside, I see Phoebe's role as a Wikimedia
Foundation Board of Trustees member as being a guardian and protector of
the interests of the Wikimedia Foundation. Those interests may or may not
align with those of Wikimedia or its chapters. It would help if you could
extract portions of

Broadly, if you or anyone else is having difficulty doing
Wikimedia-related work (specifically securing funding), please feel free

money from the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia, or other non-profits,
depending on the type of project you're working on and your needs.

Sorry, but this seems to be nothing more than scurrilous stupidity. Say
what you will about lawyers, but this particular lawyer has over 600 edits
to the English Wikipedia and has (in conjunction with his bot) over
175,000 edits to the English Wikisource.

I'm totally flummoxed by why you're disappointed given that I can't
actually find the quote you're attributing to Phoebe in either the minutes
or the FAQ, but you might want to try being less hyperbolic.

Have you seen the detailed, word-for-word minutes from the meeting? If not,
exactly how do you come to this evaluation of how the board reached this
particular decision? I note that Phoebe came to the board at one point
*as*a representative of the chapters - entities in the wider movement
who are
directly affected by this change. If you're suggesting that the POV of the
wider movement didn't come into the decision, I'm disappointed in /you/ as
an applier of Occam's razor; I consider it exceedingly improbable that
Phoebe, of all people, would've relied on feedback "only...to phrase the
FAQ".

Calm down and discuss it like a reasonable person...and, perhaps, try to
avoid personal attacks, even with a wink at the end. People who base their
pronoun display on the conventions in a made-up language probably shouldn't
throw 'you people are from outer space' stones ;p.

Thanks for putting this together. I made a few tweaks to the FAQ; it could
still use more love (additional links, formatting cleanup, killing
abbreviations, etc.).

After reading through the FAQ, this part remains unclear to me:

---
We expect to be capping the allocation for FDC Annual Plan funding at
approximately its current amount, for the years 2014-15 and 2015-16.
---

What is the current amount? (Is that a known figure?)

And to be clear, does this Board decision include a cap on the Wikimedia
Foundation's operating budget or is that considered a separate pool of
money? I believe the total budget right now is somewhere around $45
million, but the Funds Dissemination Committee is only one piece of that
pie, right? Or does all money flow through the FDC now?

I think clarifying these two points in the FAQ might be helpful.

i am disappointed personally by you. you as a person, you as an american,

fundraising.

because "trust" is mentioned: the FAQ and the minutes are written by a

[Wikimedia-l] Board decisions on movement funding and approval issues

[phoebe ayers]

Hi all,

I want to draw your attention to two Wikimedia Board of Trustees decisions
that were recently published, regarding funds allocated to the FDC/Annual
plan grant process and Board approval of chapter/thematic organization
status. In a nutshell, the Board decided to allocate approximately the same
amount of funding to the FDC for the next two years. The Board also decided
that new organizations should first form as a user group and have two years
of programmatic experience before being approved as a legally incorporated
entity (either a chapter or thematic organization).

The decisions are published in the meeting minutes here:
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Minutes/2013-11-24#Movement_roles

There is also a FAQ on Meta:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_FAQ

You will notice these decisions are published in the minutes for the
November meeting. We originally took these decisions at that meeting;
however as the FAQ explains it took us some time to talk to community
groups, clarify our wording and write the FAQ.

Hopefully the FAQ will answer many of your questions about these decisions;
however, if there are other questions please do ask them, here or on the
meta talk page. Thank you!

for the Board,
Phoebe

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMCON14 - Registration closes in one week!

[Nicole Ebber]

Dear Wikimedians,

Please allow me to add some information about the programme in
addition to my colleague's email:

The WMCON14 programme team (9 members from different chapters, plus 1
WMF and 1 WMDE staff member) has published the first outline of the
conference programme a few weeks ago:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2014/Programme

Thanks for all you comments and input so far! The team is currently
busy with incorporating the feedback and will provide updates in the
coming weeks. If you have further input or know a speaker who you
think is an expert in one of the topics, please speak up (on the talk
page or via wmcon-...@lists.wikimedia.de).

Also, please note that there is a discussion about inviting
affiliations-to-be going on, where your input is needed, too. We need
a solution not only for this year, but as a general rule for future
WMCONs, to avoid exchanging the same arguments year after year after
year. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Conference_2014

Looking forward to your input and to seeing many of you in Berlin in April.

Nicole

[Laura Hale]

Can you provide more information about this survey?  Some of the questions
feel really vague and context specific.  There are some terms in there that
appear to be aimed more for the researcher than the respondent ease in
answering.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Kumusha Takes Wiki: announcing new WiC in Uganda

[Florence Devouard]

Great !

I forward the information to Erina.
Indeed, I saw that these two guys were key points fostering an increase 
of edits on the Luganda version. Erina should only be back in Uganda in 
a month, but sharing of information by email could be nice as well. How 
long are your ambassadors staying in Uganda ?

That is great news Florence!

We have two Wikipedia ambassadors in Uganda right now (they actually had a
workshop at the Makerere University yesterday). I will ask them to contact
Erina, it might be valuable if they could share their experiences face to
face.

Hello everyone

I am very happy to announce that we just hired our Wikipedian in Community
for our Kumusha Takes Wiki project in Uganda. Her name is Erina Mukuta
Muhame.


Born in 1988 in Jinga, Uganda, Erina Mukuta spent her first childhood
years in a small village called kilembe and later moved to Kampala. Erina
is married with Brian Muhame. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in
Surveying from Makerere University. She has since worked with a number of
organizations including Ministry of Land Use and Housing and Uganda
Wildlife Authority as a Land Surveyor and a GIS Analyst respectively.

She will join the Wikimedia community under the user name Erinamukuta.

It would be great if some of you could welcome Erina on her talk page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Erinamukuta

Cyriac and Erina will now head to Cap Town for a month, to receive some
training and start planning their activity in Ivory Coast and Uganda.

They will actually join two other people, from Ethiopia and Malawi who
will also be trained and will work within the "Share Your Knowledge"
framework.

[Wikimedia-l] online survey invitation

[zhuangziyun]

Excuse me, could you please help me with my paper by filling out a 
questionnaire? I am currently doing a project about personality traits and 
knowledge sharing in Wikipedia. 
 
The survey will take about 5 min of your time. 
 
Link:  http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1538439/Wikipedia-Survey-Personality
 
I need about 200 respondents, so your little help counts A LOT to me and I 
would GREATLY appreciate it!
 
Thank you so much in advance!
 
PS: If something is unclear or difficult to understand (English is not my first 
language), please tell me. I will fix it immediately.
