Hello all, During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit in Berlin, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee>presented the first outline of the *Movement Charter,* giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit.
Before proceeding with writing the Charter, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (*intentions statement*). These Movement Charter drafts will become available on the Meta page here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Content> on November 14, 2022. The community wide consultation period on the Charter will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. More information on these conversations will follow shortly. *“Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter'' sessions* With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter'' sessions have been scheduled in different time zones ahead of the Charter consultations. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback. The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events: - Asia/Pacific: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC. Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese. - Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian. - Latin America/North America/ Western Europe: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese. Learn more here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Community_Consultation#Ask_Me_Anything_on_Movement_Charter_sessions>; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call. *Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors* Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance/Team> from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grant requests. If you are interested please sign up here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance/Movement_Charter_Ambassadors_Program/About>. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strate...@wikimedia.org <https://groups.google.com/> or on the MS forum <https://forum.movement-strategy.org/>. On behalf of the members of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee, Best, Ciell
