Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia España has been recognized as a charity in Spain
Yes. More or less, but in Spain, that 1% assigned to any charity does not exist. People can give money to any association and the following year, is it is a charity, there is a reduction of taxes over that amount. And other duties and benefits.

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia España has been recognized as a charity in Spain
Hello. I have the pleasure to inform that last Friday, 19th February 2021, Wikimedia España was recognized as a charity (entidad de utilidad pública) in Spain by the Ministry of the Interior and it was published at the Boletín Oficial del Estado (Official State Gazette). This is a recognition of the hard work the association has been doing last 10 years in Spain. To be recognized, it has been a long process, and we were waiting for an answer for this application since the end of 2019. I want to say thanks to all people who worked to achieve that.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Resignation from Shared Knowledge's Executive Board
Good luck in your next challenges Kiril, and thank you for all these years. El 2019-05-30 02:05, Kiril Simeonovski escribió: Dear all, I would like to inform you about my resignation from the Executive Board of Shared Knowledge, effective from 1 July 2019. After spending almost ten years on the boards of Wikimedia Macedonia and Shared Knowledge with the last five years as president of Shared Knowledge, this was a difficult decision for me but, in order to allow the organisation adapt to the ever-changing environment in the movement, it seems like the right time to make this step has come. The reasons for my decision to step down are mostly personal, including lack of time, lack of motivation, and hunger for new challenges. To give a better insight of my board experience, I can effectively divide it to two different but related periods: the first five years spent as a board member of Wikimedia Macedonia as a passive chapter were marked by extensive learning about the movement and the programmes of the other chapters with a limited amount of educational activities; the second five years spent as president of Shared Knowledge as an active user group were marked by executing the learning into practice with several programmes abundant with projects and events. The exact meaning of my resignation is, however, not retirement from the movement but rather a substantial reduction of the time spent on some activities. My future plans are to remain active in the movement in other capacities. I would like to thank you all for the collaboration so far and express my hopefulness to extend it in my non-presidential role from now on. I will not leave this mailing list and will continue following the news from the movement.

This will be covered in the minutes, and the resolution will be published in short order. This change allows the participation of User Groups [2] in the Affiliate-selected Board seats (ASBS) 2019 process [3]. The discussion about this process should start as soon as possible in order to have these two seats selected by Wikimania. This is why we are sending this letter now, before the resolution is published. There are now over 100 recognized User Groups, covering over 50 countries, several languages and topics, many of whom represent new and emergent communities within the Wikimedia movement. The Board believes that the added perspectives of the User Groups, combined with the voices of Chapters and Thematic Organizations, will lead to a richer collection of guidance for our movement. The conversation about how User Groups may participate in this process has been on for years, it is not a new topic [4]. Once the facilitators of the Selection process are appointed by the affiliates, they should work with María Sefidari, who has been chosen by the Board as the Board liaison for the ASBS process. Given the potential complexity of organizing a process that now will include over a hundred user groups, the Wikimedia Foundation is offering its support to set up infrastructure and help with communications if requested by the affiliates.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] UNESCO Challenge
This is a wonderful initiative Eric. Can other groups add a special prize for the articles related with their country or other topics (eg Non material, natural sites)?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Congratulations to the first four organizations to receive Simple Annual Plan Grants!
Thank you Winifred for your words. I remember a discussion with Katy Love in Mexico City and she shared with me that an APG needs very hard work. After seeing a simple APG process I can say, yes, she was right. This king of new grants is a new oportunity for groups that want to apply for their first annual grant. I know that we must work a lot to spend the money of the community the best as possible and get the more impact as possible. I want to say thank you to Winifred, but also Katy, Kacie and all the people who helped us in with this. And of course, to the committee for their recommendations. El 2015-12-29 20:10, Winifred Olliff escribió: Dear Wikimedia colleagues: In response to feedback about the grants process <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Reimagining_WMF_grants/Outcomes> that identified a gap in support for organizations and groups with annual plans that are not part of the FDC process <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG>, we on the WMF's Community Resources Team created a new pilot process for Simple Annual Plan Grants <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Simple>. These grants are for groups and organizations that need funds for operating and program expenses up to US$100K (or its equivalent in another currency). This process has been developed in partnership with a committee of eight volunteers <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Simple/Committee>, who make recommendations about each grant application, which are then approved by WMF staff. I would like to recognize the outstanding work of our inaugural committee: Addis Wang, Anders Wennersten, Kiril Simeonovski, Kirill Lokshin, Ido Ivri, Nataliia Tymkiv, Pete Ekman, and Sydney Poore. Besides producing four quality recommendations this month (found on the discussion pages of the four applications <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Simple/About#applications>), they've done invaluable work to define how this new funding option will work, and offered constructive and supportive feedback to the applicants. I also want to recognize and congratulate our first four grantees: Wikimedia Czech Republic, Wikimedia Eesti, Wikimedia Espana, and Shared Knowledge (user group in Macedonia). Each grantee did an outstanding job engaging during every phase of the grants process, and we are confident that each is preparing for an amazing year in 2016. Many thanks to all of the dedicated volunteers and staff at each organization that made these quality applications happen, including Bojan Jankuloski, Jan Loužek, Kiril Simeonevski, Kaarel Vaidla, Luis Ulzurrun, Santiago Navarro, Vojtěch Dostál and the volunteer boards and supportive community members at each of these organizations. Finally, thank you to our colleagues Janice Tud, Siko Bouterse, Stephen LaPorte, and the WMF finance team, for supporting these grantees behind the scenes. Thanks to Katy Love, Kacie Harold, and the entire Community Resources Team, past and current Funds Dissemination Committee members, current and past APG applicants, and particularly Ravishankar Ayyakkannu, for sharing their ideas and experiences leading up to this idea. Special thanks also to Tony Souter and Bence Damokos for their substantial feedback during the early phases of the pilot's development. Are you interested in learning more about how the new funding option could work for your group or organization? Please Email me to start a discussion about your organization's application, and read more about how to apply <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:APG/Simple/Eligibility>. Applications will be accepted throughout 2016. Best wishes and congratulations to all our colleagues who received grants in 2015, or helped to improve the grants process!
