Re: [Wikimedia-l] Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation

Thanks for the updates. My perspective is that a functioning advisory board could be nice to have, and I hope that its scope and methods of work could be articulated somewhere such as in a charter. I think that such an arrangement would help everyone to know their roles and have realistic

Hello! Please find my answers inline. >> What is the status of the Avisory Board? There is no active Advisory Board at the moment, but the Board has approved inviting new members for the year. I have added a template to the page on Wikimedia Foundation site about it not being accurate at the

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation

Hi, the Advisory Board, as it was, and so far I can see, as it probably will be, does not have something like a structure or a channel. It is more like a bunch of individuals that mostly the board, and in some cases the WMF staff may (or mostly) may not approach on specific topics. The board

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation

I believe that the AB should have something to propose and say there, so until it is I am not going to put any proposals forward in this respect. Best On Jun 27, 2017 4:39 PM, "Rogol Domedonfors" wrote: > Are those channels proposed as part of the paper you brought to

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation

Are those channels proposed as part of the paper you brought to the BGC on the 13th April, then? Or are you ready to discuss them now? Or will the possibility of establishing them be postponed until some time after the Advisory Board is reconstituted? "Rogol" On Tue, Jun 27, 2017 at 11:14 AM,

I think we should have those channels, once the body is constituted. Best Dj On Jun 26, 2017 19:59, "Rogol Domedonfors" wrote: > Dariusz > > Thanks for that update. You don't mention any channels for communication > between the reconstituted Board and the Community at

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation

Thanks for the updates, Dariusz and Nat. I thought I'd mention that in the past my impression is that the Advisory Board was the body to which people were "retired" after serving high-profile roles, and the AB performed little to no actual work. It sounds like your plan is to reverse both of

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation

Dariusz Thanks for that update. You don't mention any channels for communication between the reconstituted Board and the Community at large, nor opportunities for the Community at large to be involved in suggesting names. I assume then that engagement with the Community is not considered

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation

Hello! The Advisory Board (AB) and its role was indeed among the BGC priorities for this year [1]. And I have been working with the former AB members on a concept for how the AB’s work should be organized. The concept they came up though needs to be clarified and improved, especially on how the AB

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation

Craig Thanks for your thoughtful response. There are two gneral issues around the Advisory Board that members of the Community might be interested in. Firstly, it seems that after having lapsed in 2015, the Advisory Board has been reconstituted, but there has been no announcement to the

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation

Rogol, I'm on the advisory board, and actively involved in related issues, but have hesitated posting in respect for Community traditions (as I learn them) and also, as a large effort emerges in journalism regarding reliable sources. Specifically, the latter involves the News Integrity Initiative
