been? To me I would have thought that each region picked 2 representatives giving each equality with the WMF, not that it would be equity given the difference in numbers and purpose. I accept that with more than 300 languages, 170 affiliates, 13 projects, the WMF/BoT, no combination of 15 is going to be able to represent the community with anything near equity. The biggest issue was how much the process changed once it commenced and that in part contributed to the numbers and the lack assurity in the process. I also think that a Movement Charter is something entirely different to creating governance for the Global Council despite how its been worded. Ideally the MCDC would split into working groups to focus on each aspect this out comes means that people from 4 regions will have to chose where the community they represent will best heard and served while 4 other regions and the WMF will have voice in each On Tue, 2 Nov 2021 at 20:24, Mike Peel <em...@mikepeel.net> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm curious as to what the ideal distribution of members might have > been?
