Sunday January 10 Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network meeting

Into the blue.

The Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network (SWAN) is a developing forum for all Wikimedia movement affiliates to share ideas on the Wikimedia 2030 strategy process. It expands on the model of the All-Affiliates Brand Meeting to help lay some of the groundwork for a future Global Council.

Following up on the August, September, October, and November SWAN meetings, and June's All-Affiliates Brand Meeting, as well as strategic and outreach topics of mutual concern to all affiliates including SWAN input on Interim Global Council and Movement Charter, this month we are meeting on Sunday January 10, and you are all invited to RSVP here.

To start the exchange of ideas on the IGC early, and to help prepare before the SWAN calls, we have set up and invite everyone to participate at this etherpad. If you like a more interactive way of discussing, we have also made a jamboard. Check here for more details.

Wiki Loves Earth in Tunisia 2021

Dear Wikimedia TN user groups members ; We are glad to announce that we will organize Wiki loves earth 2021 in Tunisia project, we also have submitted a rapid grant for this event, your comments and feedback are welcomed Houss 2020 (talk) 15:39, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Dear Houssem, Wikimedia Tunisia is not against non-Wikimedia Tunisia initiatives for the advancement of the wiki movement in Tunisia and recommends the allocation of grants to confirmed users to ensure the success of events in our country but, I would like to clarify some points:

1. All the grants that Wikimedia Tunisia applies for must go through our fiscal sponsor CLibre, this decision was taking following an incident that caused a conflict in the team.
2. We would be grateful if you could inform the board and the members of the user group before applying for the grants and not after to avoid any misunderstanding.
3. Such an initiative must be supported by an experienced user to ensure the success of such an event.

You are very welcome if you would like to collaborate with Wikimedia Tunisia and to go through our fiscal sponsor.

Thank you!

Invitation for Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2021

Hello there,

We are inviting you to participate in Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2021, a global contest scheduled to run from July through August 2021.

Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.

In its first year (2020), 36 Wikimedia communities in 27 countries joined the campaign. Events relating to the campaign included training organized by at least 18 Wikimedia communities in 14 countries.

The campaign resulted in the addition of media files (photos, audios and videos) to more than 90,000 Wikipedia articles in 272 languages.

Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) offers an ideal task for recruiting and guiding new editors through the steps of adding content to existing pages. Besides individual participation, the WPWP campaign can be used by user groups and chapters to organize editing workshops and edit-a-thons.

The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation at the Wikimedia user group or chapter level (geographically or thematically) or for a language WP. We’d be glad for you to reply to this message, or sign up directly at WPWP Participating Communities.

Please feel free to contact Organizing Team if you have any query.

Kind regards,
Tulsi Bhagat
Communication Manager

Affiliations Committee Call for Candidates - June 2021

This is an update from the Wikimedia Affiliations Committee. Translations are available.

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 AffCom 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 update the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees as well as advise them on issues connected to chapters, thematic organizations and Wikimedia user groups.

The committee consists of five to fifteen members, selected at least once every year, to serve two-year terms.

Being a part of the AffCom requires communication with volunteers all over the world, negotiating skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to understand legal texts. We look for a mix of different skill sets in our members.

Responsibilities

• Availability of up to 5-8 hours per month

• Participate in monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings

• Commitment to carry out assigned tasks in a given time.

• Facilitate and support communications

• Affiliate Support and growth

Required and Recommended Abilities, Skills, Knowledge for Affiliations Committee Members

Strong interpersonal relationship among members of the committee and also with the Wikimedia community members. Across all committee members, there are additional relevant skills as well as requirements which help to support the committee and its sustainability which include both required and relevant general skills

Required

• Fluency in English
• Availability of up to 5 hours per week, and the time to participate in a monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings.
• Willingness to use one's real name in committee activities (including contacts with current and potential affiliates) when appropriate.
• Strong track record of effective collaboration
• International orientation

Relevant for all members

• Public Communications (English writing and speaking skills)
• Skills in other languages are a major plus.
• Understanding of the structure and work of affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation.
• Documentation practices
• Interviewing experience
• Experience with, or in, an active affiliate is a major plus.
• Teamwork: Project and people management skills to coordinate and collaborate with different parties on a shared plan and see it through to completion.
• Problem-Solving: Ability to evaluate various solutions, consider multiple interests and points of view, revisit unresolved issues, seek compromise and work and communicate across languages and cultures.

Given the expectations for maintaining the course in 2021 and preparing for potential 2021 transitions as part of the Movement Strategy implementation process, it is important that we are also clear about two different skill sets critical to committee support at this time. The first skillset is oriented to understanding affiliate dynamics and organizational development patterns to successfully process affiliate applications for recognition; the other is oriented to conflict prevention and intervention support for affiliates in conflict.

Relevant to Affiliate Recognitions

• Administration & Attention to detail
• Readiness to participate in political discussions on the role and future of affiliates, models of affiliation, and similar topics.
• Awareness of the affiliates ecosystem and models and understanding of community building, organizational development, and group dynamics

Relevant to Conflict Prevention & Intervention

• Communication skills for active listening, clear instruction and turn-taking.
• Stress Management skills for maintaining patience and positivity
• Emotional intelligence to maintain awareness of emotions of oneself and others to practice empathy, impartiality, and mutual respect.
• Facilitation, negotiation, and mediation skills to guide diverse individuals and groups toward cooperation.
• Ability to work within a team

Do you have relevant skills and interest to support movement affiliates?

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 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 2021 member selection process will include a public review and comment period and a self-assessment survey for candidates to share their skills and experience. This self-assessment information will help the committee to identify the skill sets relevant to our affiliate support processes. We invite you to apply for membership to the committee and join us in supporting the affiliates. The data shared in the self-assessment will only be made available to the committee and the relevant staff support. The nomination, candidate Q&A, and endorsements will be posted on Meta for public review at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliations_Committee/Candidates/June_2021. Here the global community is welcome to provide comments and feedback about each candidate.

Once the nomination window closes June 30, 2021, the sitting members who are not candidates for re-election in this cycle will deliberate and then vote, taking into account all inputs from the meta page, self-assessment, advisors, Wikimedia Foundation staff and board liaisons, and committee member discussion.

A final decision will be made in late-July 2021, with new members to be notified for onboarding in August.

Do you have relevant skills and interest to support movement affiliates?

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 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 2022 member selection process will include a public review and comment period and a self-assessment survey for candidates to share their skills and their experience. This self-assessment information will help the committee to identify the skill sets relevant and supportive to our affiliate support processes. We invite you to apply for membership to the committee and join us in supporting the affiliates. The data shared in the self-assessment will only be made available to the committee and the relevant staff support. The nomination, candidate Q&A, and endorsements will still take place posted on Meta for public review at January 2022 page. Here the global community is welcome to provide comments and feedback about each candidate.

Once the nomination window closes 31 January 2022, the sitting members who are not candidates for re-election in this cycle will deliberate and then vote, taking into account all inputs from the meta page, self-assessment, advisors, Wikimedia Foundation staff and board liaisons, and committee member discussion.

A final decision will be made in late-February 2022, with new members to be notified for onboarding in February.

2. AffCom members need to manage time, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and diverse situations across the global movement. How do you envision managing these?
3. Members of AffCom serve on one of two subcommittees: Recognitions OR Conflicts Intervention. Which one of these are you most interested in serving on?
4. If you are interested in serving on the Recognitions subcommittee, what do you think makes a group of Wikimedians ready to function together as an affiliate?

Affiliations Committee (AffCom) Call for advisors - January 2022

Translations are available.

The Affiliations Committee – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for new members!

The Affiliations Committee – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia Chapters, Thematic Organizations, and User Groups – is looking for advisors!

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.

We are looking for advisors 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 advisors 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.

AffCom advisors can engage with the committee in a variety of capacities:

Consultant

Individuals with extensive movement experience can be engaged as Consultants for specific cases or initiatives by AffCom.

Trainer

Individuals with specific expertise may be engaged for short-term projects for training AffCom or Affiliates. They might also lead the Capacity Building initiatives for AffCom or affiliates.

Observer

AffCom can request specific or all advisors to act as an observer in different cases to ensure neutrality & compliance with guidelines.

AffCom Support

Development of Policies: While advisors cannot create legally binding policies for the committee, they can help create policies that provide direction and support for the committee.

Planning and Implementing Community Relations: The advisors are long-term wikimedians & also include influential community leaders who can be effective at spreading the word about initiatives and services.

Supporting Subcommittees: The advisors can support subcommittees that have assigned tasks in specific areas.

Other Tasks: Advisors can be engaged to address a specific need. Such engagements are usually short-lived and are disbanded as soon as their specific goals are met.

Key skills

We look for a healthy mix of different skill sets in our advisors, including the following key skills and experience:

1. Strong understanding of the structure and work of Wikimedia affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation.
2. Readiness to participate in political discussions on the role and future of affiliates, models of affiliation, and similar topics.
3. Availability of up to 2 hours per week, and the time to participate in a monthly two-hour voice/video meeting
4. International orientation and ability to work and communicate with other languages and cultures.
5. Knowledge of different legal systems and experience in community building and organizing are a plus.
6. Fluency in English is required; skills in other languages are a major plus.
7. Experience with or in an active Wikimedia affiliate is a major plus.
8. Strong track record of effective collaboration (such as evidenced skills at facilitation, mediation, negotiation, and so forth) is a major plus.
9. Willingness to use one's real name in committee activities (including contacts with current and potential affiliates) when appropriate.

Selection process

As a reflection of our commitment to openness, transparency, and bilateral engagement with the Wikimedia community, the 2022 advisors selection process will include a public review and comment period. All applications must be posted on Meta between January 01 and January 31, 2022 at Affiliations Committee/Advisors/2022, and the community will be invited to provide comments and feedback about each candidate. At the end of the nomination period, the applications will be voted on by the members of the committee, 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 in February 2022, with new advisors expected to begin later that month.

How to apply

If you are interested in advising the committee, please submit your candidacy on Affiliations Committee/Advisors/2022 between January 01 to January 31, 2022. Your application must include the following information:

1. Your full name and Wikimedia username
2. A statement describing your relevant experience, skills, and motivation for joining the committee as an advisor.
3. The advisor role you would like to serve
4. 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 as an advisor to the committee that makes you a uniquely qualified candidate?

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the committee. 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!

Publication d'un livre sur Le mouvement Wikimédia

Bonjour Wikimédia Tunisie !

Je suis en discussion avec la maison d'édition Karthala avec l'idée d'une publication du livre Le mouvement Wikimédia dans la collection petit volcan. On aborde évidemment sur les questions de licence, mais le directeur semble ok pour laisser tomber le tout droit réservé au profit de la CC.BY.SA.

Durant ces négociations, je voudrais savoir si Wikimédia Tunisie serait intéressé pour commander un certains nombres d'exemplaires de tel sorte à encourager l'éditeur à publier un livre qui est déjà disponible sur le web dans Wikilivres. Comme autre avantage pour la maison d'édition, je mets aussi en évidence le fait que cela sera probablement une démarche nouvelle que l'on peut présenter comme « le premier livre papier dont vous pouvez améliorer la prochaine édition ». Et que cette nouveauté dans le monde de l'édition pourrait être profitable pour la maison d'édition au niveau d'éventuels retours médiatiques.

J'attends votre réponse en souhaitant une belle fin d'année pour à toute l'équipe !

@ bientôt, Lionel Scheepmans ^{✉ Contact (Fr-N, En-3, Pt-3)} 18:23, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Movement Strategy Implementation Grants

Hello there!

The Movement Strategy and Governance team wishes you a good start of the new 2022!
As we begin this year, we look forward to seeing more collaboration, increased support and connection between communities and affiliates. We would like to use this chance to share some information on the Movement Strategy Implementation Grants that aim to support volunteers and affiliates looking to help in implementing the Movement Strategy Initiatives within their communities.
These grants support big and small projects that aim to take the current state of an initiative and push it one step forward. Apply for a grant to implement a Movement Strategy initiative with a budget up to $25,000.
We understand that ideas flow at their own pace, so Movement Strategy Implementation Grants are designed to be flexible with no set deadline. Your applications are welcome at any time. Applications received after the 15th of each month will be reviewed in the following month.
Get in touch with us if you would like to discuss your project proposal or if you need more information about the program. The Movement Strategy and Governance team is happy to host conversations regarding these grants. Conversations may help answer your questions, develop your ideas, and connect with other communities with similar interests.

Please visit this [meta page] to look at some suggested examples, and you are welcome to join the “MS – Grants Community of Practice” group on Telegram!

Best regards,

استراتيجية الحركة\مقترح منتدى لنقاشات الاستراتيجية

يدعو فريق استراتيجية الحركة والحوكمة الجميع لمراجعة مقترح بهدف العمل ضمن منتدى لاستراتيجية الحركة. الهدف هو تحسين التعاون المجتمعي من خلال منصة متعددة اللغات وسهلة الاستخدام.

المراجعة مفتوحة خلال الفترة من 24 مايو حتى 24 يوليو. هذا المنتدى الوظيفي متاح للاختبار والمناقشة. إذا كانت ملاحظات المجتمع إيجابية، سيُطلَق المنتدى في أغسطس 2022 قبل ويكيمانيا. إذا لم يكن الأمر كذلك، سنتابع التعليقات الواردة، أو تغيير مقترح المنتدى أو إغلاقه.

إذا كنت ترغب بالتجربة أولاً والقراءة لاحقاً، انضم إلى منتدى استراتيجية الحركة باستخدام اسم مستخدم ويكيميديا الخاص لك.

يتطلب تنفيذ استراتيجية الحركة (MS) تعاون المجتمعات والمشاريع واللغات. لا بد أن يكون مئات الأشخاص قادرين على التعلّم من بعضهم البعض والعمل معاً والاستمتاع بذلك. يجب أن يتمتع القادمون الجدد بمشاركتهم في استراتيجية الحركة مثلهم مثل المشاركون القدماء. يجب أن يجد المساهمون غير المنتظمين فرصًا للمشاركة. كما يجب أن يجد المساهمون المتفانون الأدوات التي يحتاجونها لإنجاز المهام.

حالياً، نحن نفتقر إلى البنية التحتية لتلبية هذه الاحتياجات. تعد منصات ميتاويكي وتليغرام جيدة للتوثيق والدردشة، لكن هذا لا يكفي. المناقشات مبعثرة. يحدث التعاون داخل مجموعات منعزلة. الأشخاص الذين لا يجيدون اللغة الإنجليزية هم في وضع غير مؤات بشكل واضح. يشعر القادمون الجدد بالضياع. هذا كله بحاجة لتغيير.

منتدى استراتيجية الحركة قائم على Discourse، وهو منصة قوية مفتوحة المصدر للمناقشات المجتمعية. يمكنك توقع توفّر جميع ميزات منتديات الويب فضلاً عن سهولة استخدام وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي. هذه الميزات ذات صلة خاصة بالمشكلات التي نريد حلها:

• يمكن لأي شخص الانضمام باستخدام حساب ويكيميديا ​​الخاص به. لا يلزم التسجيل.
• إمكانية إجراء المحادثات متعددة اللغات والمشاركة فيها بفضل الترجمة الآلية بأكثر من 100 لغة.
• الترحيب بالوافدين الجدد من خلال برنامج تعليمي تفاعلي وتقديم شارات للإنجازات.
• يمكن تعديل الإخطارات لمتابعة أو كتم الموضوعات والتصنيفات والعلامات.
• يمكن استخدام تنسيق نصوص سهل في المحادثات وروابط موسّعة، وصور ورموز تعبيرية.
• يمكن تلخيص المحادثات المعقّدة حسب المشاركين فيها وتقسيمها أو دمجها.
• يمكن الإشارة إلى المشاركات بعلامة "مجهول" لغرض الإشراف. يضمن مشرفو المجتمع مراعاة تطبيق سياسية مدونة السلوك العالمية في المحادثات.
• جميع المزايا متوفرة في نسخة الأجهزة النقالة ومتصفحات سطح المكتب.
• تهنئة الوافدين الجدد كلما نشروا شيئاً جديداً.

هذه ليست قائمة شاملة. إذا كنت تفتقد أي خاصية، يمكنك اقتراح إرسال طلب اقتراحها والتصويت عليها. إذا كانت التغييرات سهلة التنفيذ (مثل النصوص والعمليات والإعدادات ...) فسننفذها أثناء العمل.

إليك أسئلة لبدء المحادثة. يمكن لأي شخص مشاركة آرائه في المنتدى في المواضيع ذات العلاقة أو على صفحة نقاش ميتاويكي. يمكن للجميع المشاركة بلغتهم المفضلة. يمكن لأي شخص أن يطرح المزيد من الأسئلة.

• هل تعتقد أن هذا المنتدى يمكنه أن يحسّن نقاشات استراتيجية الحركة والتعاون حولها؟
• هل تعتقد أن هذا المنتدى يمكن أن يكون مفيداً في الترحيب بالوافدين الجدد واستبقاءهم؟
• ما هي الأهداف التي يجب وضعها لاعتبار هذا المنتدى ناجحًا؟
• ما هو رأيك في الاسم والنطاق المقترحين؟
• ما رأيك في العملية المقترحة للإداريين والوسطاء الجدد؟
• هل يوجد قنوات أخرى تفضّل استخدامها بالإضافة إلى هذا المنتدى أوب بدلاً منه لتحديثات وملاحظات استراتيجية الحركة؟ ما السبب؟
• هل لديك أي طلبات خاصة بالمزايا؟
• هل لديك أسئلة أو مخاوف أخرى؟

الهدف من المراجعة المجتمعية هو بناء وعي حول القرار بحلول 24 يوليو\تموز 2022.

تتم مشاركة ملخصات المناقشات وتحديثها مع استمرار المراجعة. يمكن لأي شخص المساهمة في هذه الملخصات بالتعليقات والتعديلات. سيتم صياغة تقرير الاستعراض بما في ذلك القرار علنا. Mervat (WMF) (نقاش) 21:27، 30 مايو 2022 (ت ع م) Mervat (WMF) (talk) 21:47, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

أعضاء المجتمع المشاركون في انتخابات مجلس الأمناء 2022 مدعون لاقتراح بيانات (جمع بيان) لاستخدامها في البوصلة الانتخابية.

بوصلة الانتخابات هي أداة تساعد الناخبين على اختيار أفضل المرشحين الذين يتوافقون مع وجهات نظرهم ورؤاهم. سيقترح أعضاء المجتمع بيانات للمرشحين للإجابة عنها باستخدام مقياس Lickert (موافق/ محايد/ غير موافق). ستُحمّل إجابات المرشحين على هذه البيانات في أداة بوصلة الانتخابات. سيستخدم الناخبون الأداة عن طريق إدخال إجاباتهم على العبارات (موافق/ غير موافق/ محايد). ستُظهر النتائجُ المرشحينَ الأكثر توافقًا مع رؤى الناخبين ووجهات نظرهم.

فيما يلي الجدول الزمني لبوصلة الانتخابات:

8 - 20 يوليو\تموز: يقترح أعضاء المجتمع البيانات للبوصلة الانتخابية

21-22 يوليو\تموز: تراجع لجنة الانتخابات البيانات للتحقق من وضوحها ولإزالة البيانات التي لا تتعلق بالموضوع.

23 يوليو\تموز - 1 أغسطس\آب: يصوّت المتطوعون على البيانات

2-4 أغسطس\آب: تختار لجنة الانتخابات أعلى 15 بياناً

5-12 أغسطس\آب: يوائم المرشحون أنفسهم مع البيانات

15 أغسطس\آب: تفتتح بوصلة الانتخابات للناخبين لاستخدامها كمرشد ودليل لاتخاذ قرار التصويت

ستختار لجنة الانتخابات أعلى 15 بياناً في بداية شهر آب\أغسطس. ستُشرف لجنة الانتخابات على العملية، بدعم من فريق إستراتيجية الحركة والحوكمة، الذي سيتحقق من أن الأسئلة واضحة، ولا توجد تكرارات، ولا أخطاء مطبعية، وما إلى ذلك.

مع التحية،

تأجيل انتخابات مجلس أمناء مؤسسة ويكيميديا 2022

يمكنك الاطلاع على نسخة مترجمة من هذا الإعلان بعدة لغات في ميتا-ويكي.

More languages • Please help translate to your language

مرحباً جميعاً،

أتواصل معكم اليوم لإطلاعكم على آخر المستجدات حول توقيت التصويت لانتخابات مجلس الأمناء.

كما يعلم الكثير منكم، نقدم هذا العام البوصلة الانتخابية لمساعدة الناخبين على تحديد توافق المرشحين في بعض الموضوعات الرئيسية. طالب العديد من المرشحين بتمديد الفترة المحددة لهم للرد بتوسّع على البيانات وتحديد مواقفهم، وقد شعرت لجنة الانتخابات أن هذا السبب يتوافق ويتسق مع أهداف العملية الانتخابية المتمثلة في العدالة والإنصاف.

لضمان إمكانية ترجمة البيانات الأطول في الوقت المناسب لتكون جاهزة للانتخابات، قررت لجنة الانتخابات وفريق العمل المعني باختيار مجلس الأمناء تأجيل افتتاح التصويت لانتخابات مجلس الأمناء لمدة أسبوع واحد - وهو الوقت تتوافق الموظفون العاملون لدعم الانتخابات على أنه الأمثل.

على الرغم من أنه من غير المتوقع أن يرغب الجميع في استخدام البوصلة الانتخابية للمساعدة في اتخاذ قرار التصويت، شعرت لجنة الانتخابات أنه من الأنسب فتح فترة التصويت بعد توفير الترجمات الأساسية لأعضاء المجتمع بلغات مختلفة لاستخدامها إذا كانوا يرغبون في ذلك لاتخاذ هذا القرار المهم.

سيفتتح التصويت في 23 أغسطس الساعة 00:00 بالتوقيت العالمي المنسق ويغلق في 6 سبتمبر الساعة 23:59 بالتوقيت العالمي المنسق.

مع أطيب التحيات،

ماتانيا، بالنيابة عن لجنة الانتخابات

التصويت القادم على إرشادات الإنفاذ المُنقحة لمدونة السلوك العالمية

يمكنك الاطلاع على نسخةٍ مترجمةٍ من هذا الإعلان بعدة لغاتٍ عبر الميتاويكي.

More languages • Please help translate to your language

مرحبًا جميعًا،

ستخضع إرشادات الإنفاذ الخاصة بمدونة قواعد السلوك العالمية للمصادقة الثانية على مستوى المجتمع في منتصف يناير/كانون الثاني 2023. يأتي ذلك بعد التصويت الأول الذي جرى في مارس/آذار 2022، والذي نتج عنه تأييدُ أغلبية المشاركين لإرشادات الإنفاذ. ساعد المشاركون أثناء التصويت في تسليط الضوء على مخاوف المجتمع الهامة. طلبت لجنة شؤون المجتمع التابعة لمجلس الأمناء مراجعة مخاوف المجتمع هذه.

عملت لجنة المراجعات التي يُديرها متطوعون بجدٍ لمراجعة ملاحظات المجتمع وإجراء التغييرات اللازمة على الإرشادات. عملت اللجنة على تحديث نقاط اهتمام المجتمع، مثل متطلبات التدريب والإثبات والخصوصية والشفافية في العملية ومدى مقروئية المستند نفسه وقابليته للترجمة.

يمكن الاطلاع على إرشادات الإنفاذ المنقحة هنا، ويمكن مقارنة التغييرات هنا.

كيفية التصويت؟

سيكون التصويت مفتوحًا اعتبارًا من 17 يناير/كانون الثاني 2023. توفر هذه الصفحة على الميتاويكي معلومات عن كيفية التصويت باستخدام أداة SecurePoll.

من يمكنه التصويت؟

متطلبات الأهلية لهذا التصويت هي نفسها التي اعتُمدت لانتخابات مجلس أمناء ويكيميديا. راجع صفحة معلومات الناخب لمزيدٍ من التفاصيل حول أهلية الناخب. إذا كنت مؤهلًا، فيُمكنك استخدام حساب ويكيميديا الخاص بك للوصول إلى خادم التصويت.

ماذا سيحدث بعد التصويت؟

ستُفحص مجموعة مستقلة من المتطوعين الأصوات، كما ستُنشر النتائج على قائمة ويكيميديا البريدية (Wikimedia-l)، ومنتدى استراتيجية الحركة، وفي مدونة Diff، وعبر الميتاويكي أيضًا. سيتمكن الناخبون من مشاركة مخاوفهم بشأن الإرشادات مرةً أُخرى. سينظُر مجلس الأمناء في مستويات الدعم والمخاوف التي أثيرت أثناء مراجعتهم كيفية المصادقة على إرشادات الإنفاذ أو تطويرها بشكلٍ أكبر.

Introducing the Wikimedia photo library and a workshop invite

Dear Wikimedia affiliates communications leads,

We are so excited to share a new resource with you: The Wikimedia Photo Library. In it you will find high quality images that help to tell the story of free knowledge. We hope that this library will help you in the important work you do as a communication lead. Alongside this library, we’ve also updated guidelines on how to effectively use imagery to tell brand stories.

Curious to learn more about these resources?

We will be holding a short workshop for 45 minutes on Tuesday 3 October 2023, at 16:00 UTC (add event to your calendar) and again on Thursday 5 October at 7:00 UTC (add event to your calendar) to accommodate different time zones. During these workshops, we will walk you through some examples of images that align with the Movement Brand Guidelines, some basics of quality photography and answer any questions you may have about this topic.

The need for a Wikimedia Photo Library

Our research showed that there are lots of photos available from Wikimedia events, usually featuring people using computers. There were very few images showing mobile editing or reading, and even fewer showing people using the projects in their everyday lives.

These images are the first steps in creating a photo library that is representative of the whole movement. We have added images that are aligned with the Movement Brand Guidelines in this category on Wikimedia Commons. Photography is a powerful tool to create cohesion in Wikimedia communication. Our hope is that all of you will help to build this resource out with images from your region.

By continuing to add to this category, we will be helping one another tell more impactful stories of the free knowledge movement – learn how on the Brand portal on Meta-wiki.

Thank you so much and please let me know if you have any questions. We hope to see you at one of the workshops!

Best,

Samir and the Brand Studio team --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:54, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy: Summary and Report

Dear Wikimedia affiliate,

Last year, the Wikimedia Foundation Board announced they started the process with creating an Affiliates Strategy in collaboration with the Affiliations Committee, the affiliates, and the broader communities with the intention to develop a strategy that will help guide the Foundation’s immediate work in supporting affiliates for the next few years, with a primary focus on the recognition process, as a direct responsibility of the Board.

Over several months, the Wikimedia Foundation Board engaged with an outside consultant to drive a review process of what work the Foundation was doing to support affiliates. The end goal was to have several recommended actions.

You can read more about the findings and the recommendations on this Meta-Wiki page.

Board of Trustees selection call for candidates

Hello all,

The call for candidates for the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees selection is now open from May 8, 2024 - May 29, 2024 at 23:59 UTC. The Board of Trustees oversees the Wikimedia Foundation's work, and each Trustee serves a three-year term. This is a volunteer position.

This year, the Wikimedia community will vote to fill four (4) seats on the Foundation Board in August 2024. You can see the timeline of the full selection process here.

Traits

Wikimedia is a global movement and seeks candidates from the broader community. Ideal candidates are thoughtful, respectful, community-oriented and align with the Wikimedia Foundation mission. Candidates should think about what experiences and perspectives they will bring to the Board.

The Board would like to find perspectives and voices that are essential but underrepresented in our movement. Accordingly, all candidates will be asked to include statements in their application that speak to their experiences in the world and in the movement and share how those experiences have equipped them to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Trustees commitment

Trustees serve a three year term and can serve up to three consecutive terms. The expectation is that Trustees serve on at least one of the Board’s committees. The time commitment is about 150 hours per year, excluding travel. This time is not evenly spread throughout the year. The time is concentrated around meetings.

Trustees requirements

English is the language of business for the Board. Candidates must be fluent in written and spoken English. Previous experience serving on a collective decision-making body, especially Boards or committees, and significant experience in Wikimedia (or equivalent) movement building and organizing are expected from candidates.

Apply

Candidates from all projects and communities who meet the criteria to become a Wikimedia Trustee are welcome to apply. Could you - or someone you know - be a good fit to join the Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees? Encourage them to run for election. Candidates can find information and submit their nomination on the candidate application page. If you want to learn more about the role of Trustees or have questions, refer to this candidate resources page.

Community questions for candidates

All community members, including affiliates, are invited to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. From the list of questions, the Election Committee selects 5 questions for candidates to answer, which the candidates are expected to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. Questions can be submitted between May 8 - June 12 at 23:59 UTC. Learn more about how to submit your questions on this Meta-wiki page.

Best regards,

The Elections Committee and Board Selection Working Group

Feedback invited on Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Please help translate to your language

Dear Wikimedia Affiliates,

The Community Affairs Committee (CAC) of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees invites you to give feedback on a draft Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle. Affiliates play important roles in the Movement, working with communities and external partners, and thus they bring valuable perspectives to the table. We warmly welcome you to the conversations. In addition, please share information about this with your affiliate membership, and any project communities your affiliate works with or supports. You can also help translate the procedure into more languages so that people can join the discussions in their language.

This draft Procedure outlines proposed steps and requirements for opening and closing Wikimedia Sibling Projects. It aims to ensure any newly approved projects are set up for success. This is separate from the procedures for opening or closing language versions of projects, which is handled by the Language Committee. It is also separate from the closing projects policy.

You can find the details of the proposal on this page, as well as the ways to give your feedback from today until the end of the day on June 23, 2024, anywhere on Earth.

We have also reached out to your contact persons via the emails provided.

On behalf of the CAC,

Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy: Affiliate health criteria and changes to User Group recognition process

This communication has been adapted from the original message.

More languages • Please help translate to your language

Dear all,

We would like to thank all of you who shared feedback with us during this phase of the Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy process that started in November 2022, both on- and off-wiki. You can read the report from the first phase here.

Since that point, AffCom has been working with the Board of Trustees, Foundation staff, affiliates, and wider community members to enable them to provide appropriate guidance to affiliates regarding what it means to be an active and healthy Wikimedia organisation. As a result of those conversations, the committee has voted to adopt the following 10 criteria for affiliates, grouped into four main areas:

• Goal delivery
• Organisational Development
  • Good governance & communication
  • Financial & legal compliance
  • Affiliate health & resilience
• Leadership & Inclusion
  • Diverse, skilled, and accountable leadership
  • Diversity balance (especially gender)
  • Universal Code of Conduct compliance)
• Engagement & Collaboration
  • Internal (membership) engagement
  • Community connection
  • Partnerships & collaboration

You are encouraged to read more details about each of these criteria here, including guidance on how each can be met. All criteria will be tracked for all affiliates, except for the criteria around financial and legal compliance, which only apply to those affiliates receiving funds and/or that are incorporated.

Staff and AffCom are working on streamlining affiliate reporting requirements, and responding to feedback raised during the community feedback period about the reporting burden. The new requirements of data collected in reports would be useful also for different Foundation teams and departments, and allow for the creation of detailed regional or global reports that demonstrate affiliate health and impact.

In July 2024, AffCom will work to finalise the implementation plans for the changes to the affiliate requirements and application process. In August 2024, updates will be made to Meta-wiki and other supporting platforms.

You can follow the process here.

The insights from the 2023 process also included recognising a need to strengthen AffCom processes for evaluating potential User Groups’ furtherance of shared movement goals, sustainability, and general ability to be healthy and active movement participants. AffCom has adopted a revised process for User Group recognition, and will be pausing new User Group recognitions until September 2024.

No immediate changes are happening, except the pause of considering new User Group recognitions until September, for applications received after today, June 12, 2024. Once more detailed implementation plans are developed, there will be an update here and on the relevant Meta pages with the next steps after Wikimania.

To provide your feedback, please leave a comment on the main talk page on Meta.

Alternatively, you can join AffCom's open office hours on June 19 at 14:00 UTC or request a conversation as a part of Talking:2024. You can use the Let’s Talk to sign up for a time to speak with us.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Best regards,

Nat, Mike & Lorenzo
