[Wikimedia-l] Two years; three weeks; 10 years to go #wikimedia2030

[Nicole Ebber]

Hi everyone,

It’s now been three weeks since we have released the Wikimedia 2030
Movement Strategy Recommendations.

It has been a unique journey, the road has sometimes been bumpy, and every
step with all of you has been massively rewarding. For me, it still feels a
bit unreal, and the thought of having reached this milestone has not fully
sunk in yet. What helps me to understand what we have achieved together is
the appreciation and excitement that many of you are sharing.

We have many, many weeks left until we reach the year 2030, and I am
optimistic that the recommendations will enable Wikimedia to grow a better
future – for our movement, for ourselves, and for the world around us.

With the release of the recommendations, the Core Team and I will be
winding down our work by the end of June. We are now tidying up our meta
pages and are working on a summary of our work to ensure the expertise and
knowledge that we have gathered along the way will be well documented for
the movement and for the road ahead into implementation.

Our mandate to create Recommendations officially ends here, as well as the
mandate of the working groups, writers, reviewers, connectors, and
community strategy liaisons. I want to again extend my wholehearted
gratitude to all of them – for their hard work in their many roles, and of
course to them as individuals whose hearts beat for our movement's vision –
for getting us to the publication of this unique and promising product.
Thank you!

The Wikimedia Foundation is now beginning the transition from the
development of recommendations to implementation, which will be
collaborative, distributed, and movement led. In June, we will continue to
work with Ryan Merkley (Chief of Staff in the Foundation) on the
transition, and you will hear more about it this week.

On behalf of the Core Team, I am looking forward to seeing the results of
the last two years of work being implemented into Wikimedia’s path towards
becoming the support system for the whole free knowledge movement.

Onwards!
Nicole

PS. I’ve got some reading and listening tips if you want to dive deeper
into the recommendations: The community strategy liaisons have been busy
creating audio clips where they discuss or read the recommendations; there
are recordings in Arabic, French, German, and Spanish [1]. There is also a
video in Portuguese [2] providing an overview of the recommendations and
videos in English [3] that look at the whole process, the principles, and
each recommendation. Diversity working group member and writing group
member Marc Miquel-Ribé has also shared his insights into how the movement
strategy was developed and the ideas that have shaped it [4]. Find more
links and formats on Meta [5]. Happy reading and listening!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Brand Project] Rescheduling Naming Convention Proposal community review

[Zack McCune]

Hi everyone,

As promised, we are back with an update and a new timeline to discuss names
as a movement. We are excited to take on naming together beginning 16 June.
Here is an overview of what happened and what to expect:

After additional weeks of legal review and a conversation with the Board of
Trustees at their 22 May meeting, we have alignment to present three naming
convention proposals for movement-wide review on 16 June.

The Board of Trustees affirmed support for the project [1] and vetted
various naming options. They explored legal and financial implications of
different approaches, and evaluated them based on their potential to act as
compelling, unifying tools to elevate the work we are currently doing and
ensure the future of our movement. Based on these assessments, the
movement-wide review will revolve around two naming convention proposals
centered on Wikipedia, one that is a Wiki/Wikipedia hybrid, and an open
response area where respondents can share their own naming proposals.  We
feel confident that the vetting process has led to solid proposals, while
we also want to ensure we are open to your ideas  and are committed to
reviewing suggestions made in the open response area.

While these weeks of work have reconfirmed that naming structures centered
entirely on “Wiki” would not be legally feasible or financially
responsible, we were able to uncover ways in which “Wiki” can be used as
part of movement naming. We know there will be questions around this, and
look forward to discussing more in detail during the upcoming live
presentation.

***Join us for the live presentation [2] of the three Naming Convention
Proposals on 16 June at 15:00 UTC.***

We will present the various options that were considered, the risks and
rewards of each, and how the process arrived at the three options for
review.

As previously planned, the movement-wide review to follow will be
multilingual and will rely on surveys for individual contributors,
affiliates, and Foundation depts, as well as open discussion on Meta-Wiki,
from 16 June to 30 June. The two weeks of feedback will help to remove,
refine and recombine elements from the proposals into a single, synthesized
proposal.

We look forward to talking names with you soon.

Best,

- Zack & the Brand Project Team

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Brand Project] Rescheduling Naming Convention Proposal community review

[Tito Dutta]

Hello,
From the resolution page (
https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Resolution:Brand_Project_Support_(May_2020)
:
"... and the Board directs the Foundation to complete this work by
Wikipedia's 20th birthday."
— That is 15 January 2021. Interesting.
It seems the option is now to select one of three (re)naming options.
Actually, I was going to suggest a "movement-wide review" may need more
than 14 days of time for affiliates, and communities etc. .
Thanks

[Wikimedia-l] Affiliate reporting during COVID-19

[Dumisani Ndubane]

Hello there,

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Wikimedia Foundation is
aware of the enormous difficulties and pressures this has on individuals as
well as affiliate organizations in general. The committee recognizes the
impact this may have on affiliates being able to submit their required
annual activity and/or financial reports on time. Should your organization
be unable to meet its reporting deadline, please reach out to us in order
to propose a revised timeline for your report.

We recognize also that, for legal entities local legal requirements may
still require your organization to meet reporting deadlines, in that case,
please attend to your local requirements and reach out if there is any
adjustment to the expectation for your submission to the reports portal on
meta.

When you are ready to submit your report on meta, you will be able to share
your report via our new Affiliates data portal [1].

We understand the Foundation’s Community Resources team is also working to
develop guidance around reporting and the impact of COVID-19 on the event
and reporting timelines. We will work to also align with these guidelines
as they become available.

If you have any questions or need any further guidance, please don’t
hesitate to reach out.

Kindest regards

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Brand Project] Rescheduling Naming Convention Proposal community review

[Tito Dutta]

With kind permission, I would like to further explain my question (in case
it was unclear, and kindly assume good faith):
The resolution (linked above and at [1]) states that "the Board affirms its
support for the brand project and its strategic importance for the
movement, mission, and 2030 strategy, and the Board directs the Foundation
to complete this work by Wikipedia's 20th birthday."
– what is "this work" that is to be completed by January 2021?
I believe it includes implementation (first phase) as well? On Meta-Wiki
the /Timeline page mentions[2] "January 2021" as "Organizational
implementation: adoption by the Foundation with opt-in system for
affiliates.
I see an almost clear action point here that by January 2021 the opt-in
naming comes into picture for the communities, where the brand value of
Wikipedia will be experimented with a few communities/projects with direct
attention.
Wait, aren't we yet to start the review process?
Kindly note, other than the 3 or so models, I have noticed that there was
always another (robust) voice, and that's a "no".
Sincerely,
User:Titodutta

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Brand Project] Rescheduling Naming Convention Proposal community review

[Zack McCune]

Hi Tito -

Your observation is fair and welcome. The project team will update the
timeline on Meta-Wiki to reflect the latest rescheduling and our relaunched
consultations.

The priority is on completing the collaborative design activities of the
project (naming, design, and style guides) in time for the birthday in
January. The process of adoption will follow the completion of this work,
so it too will be adjusted in the timeline.

The project team is working to keep this timeline as accurate as we can
amidst much global uncertainty, so I want to be the first to acknowledge
that timing will likely remain at the monthly estimate level and may
further change.

Thanks,

- Zack
