The fundraising mailing list is a working place to manage, discuss and improve fundraising.

Purpose

• share of best practices
• develop a messaging strategy that incorporates community members and chapters from the start
• develop a shared timeline for fundraisers and a shared sense of ownership between WMF and Wikimedia chapters
• talk through any procedural aspects of the fundraising agreement, reporting, revenue sharing, etc.
• define technical specifications for software to-be-developed
• capture individual action items and responsibilities

Once a year, administrators of the list will clean it up (checking membership and removing if necessary)

Privacy

• the list will be private, but not intended to be confidential (no forward of information without prior approval though)
• joining should be rather easy. Aside from obvious members (eg, staff in charge of fundraiser), membership will be granted when at least 2 current members of the list support the candidate. Concept will be to avoid the trolls
• archives will be kept

Ownership

• list will be owned by WMF. At least 2 moderators not from WMF.

  • anyone interested and helpful (just write to the list admin and explain who you are and why you're interested)
