Charter outline: There is progress made working on the outline of the Charter. The Committee is still discussing several options for how the outline (which is like a “table of contents”) may be organized.
Drafting methodology: There is progress made in agreeing on the methodology to draft the content of the Movement Charter. The methodology will be shared when ready.
Drafting subcommittees: The Committee is setting up the subcommittees to focus on drafting different parts of the outline.

Position towards the Hubs Minimum Piloting Criteria: During the in-person meeting, the MCDC discussed the Hubs Minimum Piloting Criteria. The Committee agreed that it does not see itself as a committee responsible for approving Hubs, and will not take this role. Hubs, though, will be defined in the Movement Charter (like other governance structures in the movement).

Relationship with the Board of Trustees: Until the end of April, as a pilot, two liaisons from the Board were attending 30 minutes during Committee’s meetings once a month. This proved unsatisfactory for both sides. As an alternative, the Committee offered the Board of Trustees one seat on the committee. The Committee perceived that this seat would add diversity in perspectives, and give the Board its desired voice. The Board, however, wishes to keep working through liaisons and not voting members. Discussions on the engagement with the Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees therefore still continue.
Staff support: The Committee presented its projected needs for support from staff in the near future. Those needs include support in: Documenting meetings, facilitation, logistical and project management support, communications planning, outreach, translations, and conducting research. The Wikimedia Foundation is reviewing the needs and evaluating if the current support staff can meet them.

جاری کام اور مباحث
Drafting the Movement Charter: The drafting work will partly be prepared and carried out by subcommittees, each focusing on one particular topic. Each subcommittee will draft several outlines or “seed options” and present them to the community for review in the future. The initial topics that the Committee has identified are: Values & Principles (as an introduction), in addition to 1. Governance, 2. Resources and 3. Community.
Values & Principles: There is now a subcommittee working on the first topic (Values & Principles). The subcommittee’s work may need to be first informed by the research.
Ratification: Committee discussed the need to wait and learn from the results of the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines ratification vote, a model which could be similar to the future ratification vote for the Movement Charter.
June in-personmeeting: The Drafting Committee will meet in Berlin from 17-19 June. The meeting’s agenda will focus on the committee in general, and better defining the Movement Charter’s outline.
Research & documentation: The Committee is discussing research to help inform or prepare for its work. The scope is being discussed, the following are possible options for it: 1. Survey data collection and analysis (in the Wikimedia movement), 2. Summarizing previous documents about Wikimedia governance, 3. Finding and comparing “Charters” of other non-profit organizations, and/or 4. Consulting and engaging with experts.
Communications & stakeholder engagement: The communications subcommittee has finalized a strategic communications plan. As a part of this, the subcommittee is now working on a “stakeholder engagement plan”, which defines the desired level of engagement on Movement Charter according to three levels: 1. Informed, 2. Consulted and 3. Extensively engaged.
Email management: The Committee agreed on a process to manage and respond to emails. A public email address will be announced soon.
Training: Some Committee members are joining a training in “nonviolent communication”. The training is provided by the Brazilian organization Sinergia Comunicativa in partnership with the Wikimedia Foundation. Other communications training is being discussed.
Staff support: The Committee is discussing the possible needs of additional support from staff for subcommittees, especially for the communications and research subcommittees.

سہولت کار کی آن بورڈنگ': کمیٹی نے انسائٹ پیکٹ سے آئرین کا خیرمقدم کیا جو اس کے سہولت کار کے طور پر کام کرے گی۔ کچھ ممبران نے ان کو آن بورڈ کرنے میں حصہ لیا اور اس بات پر اتفاق کیا کہ وہ مل کر کیسے کام کریں گے۔
مواصلاتی حکمت عملی اور منصوبہ: مومنٹ اسٹریٹیجی اینڈ گورننس ٹیم کے ساتھ مواصلاتی ذیلی کمیٹی نے ایک مواصلاتی حکمت عملی اور منصوبہ تیار کیا۔ یہ حکمت عملی بعد میں میٹا پر شائع کی جائے گی۔
In-person meeting decision: Berlin was decided to be the preferred location for the Committee’s in-person meetings. New York City is a possible secondary location (only if needed). Wikimedia Germany will be hosting the event, probably from 17-19 June. The event’s agenda is currently being discussed.
جاری کام اور مباحث
Drafting the Movement Charter: The drafting subcommittee agreed on four main themes and topics (“buckets”) of the Movement Charter: “Values & Principles”, “Governance”, “Community” and “Resources”. This takes into consideration previous feedback from the movement, like the June 2021 Global Conversations. The board liaisons also provided feedback about the themes, stating that the “Values & Principles” are an essential foundation for all other “buckets”.
Email address: The Committee is planning to announce an official email address, through which anyone can send questions and feedback. The communications subcommittee is working on the final details considering flow, response time, and responsibilities of those involved, and plans to bring these back to the full MCDC in the April meeting for a final decision.
Working with the WMF Board of Trustees: The planned 12 weeks of experimental collaboration with the Board of Trustees are nearly coming to an end. The Committee and the Board will be discussing if the current set up is productive, in which they meet together for 30 minutes once every four weeks.
MCDC Code of Conduct: The Committee is currently considering a draft version for an internal Code of Conduct. There was an extended discussion regarding articles about the suspension of inactive members and other sanctions. A newer or final draft may be shared in April.
Progress Review + Committee Check-in: The committee members assessed themselves and their collective progress. There was agreement that a lot of time is being spent on doing preparatory work, so the committee is not working at a fast pace as committee members would want. Cumulatively, though, the committee believes that the thorough review and discussions at this stage are important, and will be helpful in countering challenges in the drafting stage.

تکمیل شدہ کام
Contracting a professional facilitator: Several MCDC members joined interviews to select a professional to support the group meetings. The group decided to choose InsightPact, based on reasons including:
1. Their capacity to flex and iterate in their facilitation method,
2. Demonstrating willingness to take in feedback from all Committee members,
Publishing the internal decision-making: After finalizing it earlier, the Committee published a detailed decision-making document.
جاری کام اور مباحث
Drafting the Movement Charter: A group of MCDC members started brainstorming the main themes and topics that they expect to see in the Movement Charter. The results are expected, later on, to identify 3-5 first topics for content.
Working with the Board of Trustees: After several phases of deliberation, the MCDC and the liaisons of the Board of Trustees agreed that the liaisons will attend some of the regular MCDC meetings. The two Board liaisons will both attend the last 30 minutes in one of each two regular meetings. This format will be tested for a period of three months. Shani and Natalia first joined the Committee’s meeting on 20 February, where they introduced themselves and offered support.
Communications: The Movement Strategy and Governance Team created and presented a first draft of a communications plan for the Movement Charter process to the communications subcommittee. There seems to have been a mismatch, however, in expectations from both sides, both in terms of the content of the plan and in the available support from the Wikimedia Foundation. This led to a frustrating situation. The subcommittee is now working with the Foundation to seek alternative options for support in communications, and work on a new plan was started.
In-person meeting: The Committee believes that an in-person meeting may help them achieve progress. Several locations for the meeting were compared according to their COVID-19 restrictions, travel distance/time and the availability of staff support. As a result, the meeting is likely to take place in Berlin in June 2022.
Principles: The Committee finalized and published a Principles document to define and guide its work.

جاری کام اور مباحث
Member replacement: Alice Wiegand (user:Lyzzy) stepped down from her role in the Movement Charter Drafting Committee. Because she was an elected member, she was replaced with the next ranking, eligible candidate: Reda Kerbouche (user:Reda Kerbouche). For more details, see the replacement announcement.
Communications plan: Members of the MCDC “communications subcommittee” are collaborating with the Movement Strategy & Governance team to prepare a plan for communications.
Communication channels: The Committee is setting up an official mailing address to use in communications.
Hiring a facilitator: Members of the MCDC are collaborating with the Movement Strategy & Governance team to select a proper facilitator for the group’s meetings. Meanwhile, Committee members continue to self-facilitate.
Engaging with the Board of Trustees: The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees requested, in December 2021, to have two liaisons attending the MCDC meetings. This request came as a surprise to the MCDC members. The Board’s request has led to proposals for attendance from both sides, but has yet to be concluded.
Conference participation: There was an invitation to an MCDC member to submit a proposal for the RightsCon Summit. The Committee is taking this as an opportunity to bring the Charter discussion to non-Wikimedia stakeholders with similar interest.
Charter content: Some members are starting to brainstorm their ideas of the main “outline” and sections that the Movement Charter may include.
دسمبر 2021
مومنٹ چارٹر ڈرافٹنگ کمیٹی (ایم۔سی۔ڈی۔سی) اپنے آئندہ کام کی تیاری اور منصوبہ بندی کر رہی ہے۔ کمیٹی کی ملاقات 5 اور 19 دسمبر کو ہوئی (ہر ملاقات دو گھنٹے کی رہی)۔ ملاقاتوں کے پہلے نتائج جلد ہی شیئر کیے جانے کی امید ہے، براہ کرم ذیل میں خلاصہ دیکھیں۔
جاری کام
ڈرافٹنگ کمیٹی مندرجہ ذیل امور پر کام کررہی ہے:
Principles: The Committee is still working on guiding principles to define its work (for example, the Committee’s mandate, the duration of its work, and so on). Those principles are expected to be finalized and published on Meta by the end of January.
Internal decision-making: In a related topic, the Committee is also defining how to make its internal decisions (for example: when is consensus needed on a decision?).
Communications: The Committee is putting together a communications plan, to ensure that its work will include proper outreach and dissemination of information. The Committee is collaborating to create this plan with the Wikimedia Foundation’s Movement Strategy & Governance Team, who will provide support in executing it.
Timeline: The preliminary timeline for the Movement Charter process is being discussed. It will be published as an update to the Movement Charter Meta page in January. This timeline is not expected to be final, since it will need to be flexible with the consultation and ratification periods.
ملاقاتوں کا نچوڈ
کمیٹی کی ملاقتوں میں بحث شدہ اہم عنوانات:
Meetings: The MCDC members agreed to meet once every two weeks on Sundays, except for during the holidays break. The next meeting will be on 9 January.
Facilitation: The MCDC members will be facilitating the meetings themselves until a professional facilitator is hired (a process also overseen by the MCDC, and supported by the Movement Strategy & Governance Team). Professional facilitation is expected to start in February 2022.
Diversity & expertise: According to the set up process, the Committee has the option to add “up to three additional candidates by consensus”. While there does not seem to be an immediate gap in diversity, the Committee may request expert advice or add “observer” members in the future.
Board meeting: Members from the Committee met with two members from the Board of Trustees (BoT) for the first time on 22 December 2021. Besides introductions from both sides, the main talking points were about the form of the collaboration between the MCDC and the BoT, and what type of communication/meetings will be happening to shape this collaboration.
Task management: The Committee is testing Asana, an online software, to assign and manage its tasks. This service will be provided by the Wikimedia Foundation.

The Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) was appointed on 1 November 2021. Since then, the group met twice (on 10 November and 18 November), and started working on several tasks between these two meetings and afterwards. Currently, the Committee is in the process of starting to set up a system to work together, and will continue to meet once every two weeks and to provide updates to the community at least once a month. Below is a summary of the discussions that the group has had so far, and the work items that they are handling.
جاری کام
The Committee is currently working on the following things:
The Drafting Committee is in the process of setting up its internal operations and systems, including: Facilitation, communication, workflows, responsibilities and mandate, principles (see below), timeline and others. Due to the holiday’s break between December and January, these various tasks are expected to take until early 2022.
The Committee is creating the principles that will guide its future work, including how decisions are made, to whom the Committee reports, what is its mandate, and so on. These principles are projected to be finalized and shared after the Committee’s fourth meeting on 19 December.
The group is creating a list of roles to clarify the expected responsibilities of the Drafting Committee members and the support that they need from the Wikimedia Foundation, or an external facilitator. Overall, the Foundation is expected to provide operational support so that the MCDC members can focus on collecting and drafting content.
بحث
ملاقاتوں سے بحث کے موضوعات:
شفافیت برادری کی ایک مقبول درخواست تھی۔ کمیٹی کے اراکین نے چیتھم ہاؤس کے اصول کو اپناتے ہوئے اسے حل کرنے پر اتفاق کیا: "جو بھی شخص میٹنگ میں آتا ہے وہ مباحثہ سے معلومات استعمال کرنے کے لیے آزاد ہے، لیکن اسے یہ ظاہر کرنے کی اجازت نہیں ہے کہ کس نے کوئی خاص تبصرہ کیا"۔
اس شفافیت اور ایم۔سی۔ڈی۔سی ملاقاتوں سے شیئر کی گئی معلومات کی مقدار کے درمیان توازن ہونا ضروری ہے۔ اہم اعلانات کو مہینے میں ایک بار شیئر کیا جائے گا جب تک کہ کمیٹی برادرانہ فیڈ بیک اور اِنپُٹ جمع کرنے کے لیے تیار نہ ہو۔ جس کی امید ہے کہ 2022 کے اوائل میں کی جا سکتی ہے۔
کمیٹی اور تحریک دونوں کے سامنے ایم۔سی۔ڈی۔سی ک “طاقت” اور/یا مینڈیٹ کو واضح کیا جانا چاہئے۔ کمیٹی کے صحیح کردار کی وضاحت کے لیے DARCI میٹرکس استعمال کرنے کی تجویز دی گئی۔ ایم۔سی۔ڈی۔سی کی رپورٹ دہی کہ یہ کس کو رپورٹ کرتا ہے، اس کے بارے میں، "تحریک کو" رپورٹ کرنے کے لیے کچھ حمایت حاصل ہوئی۔
مومنٹ چارٹر کے مسودے کی توثیق ایک کھلا سوال ہے۔ کچھ تجاویز یہ تھیں:
1. منظوری یا مسترد ہونے کے امکان کے ساتھ برادری کے سامنے ایک مکمل مسودہ پیش کرنا،
2. تکراری عمل جہاں برادری پہلے سے طے شدہ "سنگ میل" پر مومنٹ چارٹر کے مسودے کے الگ الگ حصوں کا جائزہ لیتی ہے۔
مسودہ سابزی سے قبل یہ توقع کی جاتی ہے کہ گروپ کو مومنٹ چارٹر کے مرکزی موضوعات یا خاکہ پر متفق ہونے کی ضرورت ہے۔ چونکہ 15 لوگوں کے ساتھ موضوعات کو ذہن میں رکھنے میں کافی وقت لگتا ہے، اس لیے یہ تجویز کیا گیا تھا کہ اراکین چھوٹے "سب گروپس" میں سوچ بچار کر سکتے ہیں اور اتفاق کرنے کے لیے بعد میں دوبارہ ملاقات کر سکتے ہیں (کافی کچھ عالمی مباحث کی طرح)۔
ایم۔سی۔ڈی۔سی کے کام کی ٹائم لائن ابتدائی طور پر 12 سے 18 ماہ تک لگ جانے کی توقع ہے۔ اس مدت کے لیے مزید تفصیلی ٹائم لائن بنانا کمیٹی کے اگلے اقدامات اور ذمہ داریوں میں سے ایک ہے۔
