Re: [Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy Process: Community update August 2018

[Paulo Santos Perneta]

Hello Nicole,

Just to make sure I've correctly understood the scope of the Strategy
Working Groups:

"*After that, the groups will start to develop concrete recommendations for
change on the structural level of our movement in key thematic areas, and
how we might implement this change in the  future.*"

So, this whole Strategy thing is only about the structured part of the
movement, and the projects themselves have nothing to do with it (at least
directly), right?

Just trying to understand what it is, as last year rounds were very confuse
(to me).

Paulo

[Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy Process: Community update August 2018

[Nicole Ebber]

Dear Wikimedians,

The last time you heard from us was when we announced the first round
of Working Group members right before Wikimania in Cape Town. [1]

From then to now, we have focused on supporting the Working Groups
with their initial steps. At the same time, we have worked on some
reports to bring more information about the ongoing process to the
wider public. We are thankful for all the feedback we have received so
far on different channels and hope that you can find answers to many
of the raised questions in these reports:

If you are interested in knowing more about the application process,
and how Working Group members were selected, you can now read our
reports on the application process [2], and the role of the Steering
Committee in evaluating the applications [3] on the Movement Strategy
Portal.

During Wikimania, about half of the announced Working Groups members
were present, which gave them the chance to meet in person and
initiate their conversations. You can read more about what happened in
the Strategy Space at Wikimania in our report[4]. To all of you who
visited the Strategy Space and were curious about the Movement
Strategy Process, whether it was through listening, asking challenging
questions, or providing us with perspectives from your communities: A
very big thank you!

After Wikimania, throughout August, group calls and virtual
conversations have taken place in all Working Groups. Before they will
be able to continue working on content, they have been tasked to
define their own diversity gaps and suggest solutions to them. You can
consult the Diversification Report [5] to see how this effort is being
supported.

The immediate next steps (see the timeline [6]) in the Movement
Strategy Process are concentrated on the diversification of the
Working Groups with a deadline at the end of September. In October, we
plan to kick off the scoping process for the Working Groups and
initiate a community consultation to collect more perspectives for
them. After that, the groups will start to develop concrete
recommendations for change on the structural level of our movement in
key thematic areas, and how we might implement this change in the
future.

As always, your feedback is appreciated.

On behalf of the Core Team,
Kaarel and Nicole
