A. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Kirill Lokshin <kirill.loks...@gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jun 9, 2017 at 1:51 PM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Affiliations Committee: Call for Candidates To: Wikimedia Movement Affiliates discussion list < affilia...@lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia Mailing List < wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org> Hi everyone, The Affiliations Committee – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for new members! The main role of the Affiliations Committee is to guide groups of volunteers that are interested in forming Wikimedia affiliates. We review applications from new groups, answer questions and provide advice about the different Wikimedia affiliation models and processes, review affiliate bylaws for compliance with requirements and best practices, and advise the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees on issues connected to chapters, thematic organizations and Wikimedia user groups. The committee consists of twelve members, six of whom are selected every twelve months for staggered two-year terms. Those joining during the mid-year process will serve an extended term ending in December 2019. *Key skills* Being a part of the Affiliations Committee requires communication with volunteers all over the world, negotiating skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to understand legal texts. We look for a healthy mix of different skill sets in our members, including the following key skills and experience: - Willingness to process applications through a set, perhaps bureaucratic process. - Readiness to participate in political discussions on the role and future of affiliates, models of affiliation, and similar topics. - Availability of up to 5 hours per week, and the time to participate in a monthly two-hour voice/video meeting. - International orientation. - Fluency in English. - Ability to work and communicate with other languages and cultures. - Strong understanding of the structure and work of affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation. - Knowledge of different legal systems and experience in community building and organising are a plus. - Skills in other languages are a major plus. - Experience with or in an active affiliate is a major plus. - Strong track record of effective collaboration (such as evidenced skills at facilitation, mediation, negotiation, and so forth) are a major plus. - Willingness to use one's real name in committee activities (including contacts with current and potential affiliates) when appropriate. We are looking for people who are excited by the challenge of empowering volunteers to get organized and form communities that further our mission around the world. In exchange, committee members selected will gain the experience of supporting their world-wide colleagues to develop their communities as well as personal development in guiding organizational development, facilitating affiliate partnerships, and professional communications. *Selection process* As a reflection of our commitment to openness, transparency, and bilateral engagement with the Wikimedia community, the 2017 member selection process will include a public review and comment period. All applications received by the committee will be posted on Meta at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliations_Committee/Candidates/June_2017, and the community will be invited to provide comments and feedback about each candidate. At the end of the public comment period, the applications will be voted on by the members of the committee who are not seeking re-election, taking into account comments put forward by the committee's members, advisors, Wikimedia Foundation staff and board liaisons, and the community. A final decision will be made by mid-July 2017, with new members expected to join later that month. *How to apply* If you are interested in joining the committee, please post your application on the nomination page and send an email announcing your application to aff...@lists.wikimedia.org by 30 June 2017. Your application must include the following information: - Your full name and Wikimedia username - A statement describing your relevant experience, skills, and motivation for joining the committee. - Answers to the following three questions: (1) How do you think affiliates work best together to partner on effective projects and initiatives? (2) What do you see as the role of affiliates in the Wikimedia movement in the next three years? (3) What do you feel you will bring to the committee that makes you a uniquely qualified candidate? If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me and/or the committee as a whole. We are happy to chat or have a phone call with anyone about our work if this helps them decide to apply. Please distribute this call among your networks, and do apply if you are interested!
