 This is still under discussion between AffCom and WMF, Phoebe. The current
 discussion is focused on sharpening the definition, translating the concept
 into a clear easy-to-follow affiliation pipeline or pathway, and on the
 division of roles between AffCom and WMF.

 We're hopeful that this will move to the next stage shortly.

Thanks Bishakha! Has that discussion been on-wiki anywhere?

The context, as Sarah notes, is that there are a variety of big GLAM
organizations who have done Wikimedia work who may well fit the idea of
being a 'movement partner', and the question arose this past weekend of
whether and where they might fit.

Phoebe,

As Bishakha indicated, this is still actively being discussed amongst AffCom 
and WMF folks. Most of what's being discussed is based on on-wiki comments - 
but the actual conversations are happening via email (AffCom mailing list) and 
face-to-face conversations. My understanding is this follows a similar process 
used when the User Groups and Thematic Org processes were setup.

However, I will say that entities like GLAM partners has come up as examples of 
possible candidates in conversations I've had with folks.

Again, it is premature to commit to anything, but my personal hope is that the 
final outcome will be a good solution for the groups you're talking about.  As 
someone who frequently works with outside groups on Wikimedia matters, I am 
empathetic to both the sense of urgency and interest from potential partners.

Also, AffCom members are available via wiki or email for comments about this - 
and I am generally lingering in IRC often.

That's a great question, and one the Open Knowledge Foundation was 
scratching its head about a few months back! I'd love to see this open 
up again, especially for OpenGLAM and GLAM-Wiki programs and initiatives.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] movement partners

2013-04-29 Thread Ziko van Dijk
Hello,

I am not quite sure what will be the future of the Movement partners. I
can imagine that a museum (for example) can be a partner in an initiative
set up by the WMF, a chapter or a thorg.
WMNL and Teylers Museum together started the Teylers Challenge, a edit
competition. The museum could use the logo on its site, as a part of the
joint initiative. When such an initiative is over, its over, so simple is
it.
But maybe I did not fully understand the concept of the Movement partners.
Kind regards
Ziko
