Dear all, We would like to offer further clarification that the recommendations for Wikimedia 2030 [1] that were shared earlier with you are indeed drafts. They represent discussions around a wide array of topics that the nine thematic working groups, affiliates and communities had identified important for our movement’s future. They are the product of conversations over many months with a variety of stakeholders, and the working groups are eager to hear from you. The draft recommendations are neither final nor complete, but a continuation of an ongoing conversation happening across wikis, platforms, surveys, meetings, and meet-ups. As such, constructive feedback and solution-oriented suggestions are welcomed. The draft recommendations are based on contexts that deserve due review and reflection, and are the result of the efforts of many, rather than single individuals.
Many of the draft recommendations underline structural changes needed for the growth and expansion of a movement like ours. Many are representative of wider societal, historical and global dynamics around us. Please take the time to review the draft recommendations in their entirety, pose questions, hear from others, and in the spirit of collegial collaboration, offer suggestions that you think can address the issues at hand. This is a process for all of us to shape our shared future, together; let’s keep engaging and challenging one another in this same spirit.
