Prioritization

Q1. Which recommendations will respond to your community’s needs?

Choose Your Top Priorities	Why is it prioritized?
Example: recommendation 2, improve user experience	Example: Having a more engaging interface will excite more people from our community to want to contribute to Wikimedia projects.
1. Increase the Sustainability of Our Movement	We want to have a sustainable movement, especially for underrepresented communities, so we can make sure the sum of knowledge can be applicable for all movement stakeholders.
2. Ensure Equity in Decision-Making	We want to make sure that every voice counts, and underrepresented communities can be empowered in the structure by having Global Council, Regional hubs and any platform that can support this priority.
3. Provide for Safety and Inclusion	Safety is a classical issue in our movement. How we can empower our stakeholders, especially volunteers, so they can focus on volunteering, instead of afraid of editing several pages, because they feel unsafe to contribute to those pages. We need to improve our structure so we can handle and tackle those issues.

Q2.From the recommendations, which specific actions and changes would you want prioritized in 2021?

Choose Your Top Priorities	Why is it prioritized?
Example: recommendation 2, improve user experience	Example: Having a more engaging interface will excite more people from our community to want to contribute to Wikimedia projects.
1. Increase the Sustainability of Our Movement 1. Systematic approach to improve satisfaction and productivity 2. Funding for underrepresented communities	By assessing the needs of our community (user groups, volunteer, chapters, etc.), we can allocate dedicated amounts to support their needs, financial sustainability likely hinder and limit our emerging, marginalized or underrepresented communities.
2.Ensure Equity in Decision-Making 24. The Global Council 25. Regional & thematic hubs	Regional hubs and Global Council is the most top priority, so we can ensure equity and increase trust among movement stakeholders.
3.Provide for Safety and Inclusion 16. Code of Conduct 19. Develop a safety assessment and execution plan - technical, human, and legal support processes 20. Advocacy - local capacity development	This set of initiatives is very important, without a good implementation and structure, it will make our volunteers stop their contribution because they are afraid of their safety.
4. Invest in Skills and Leadership Development 32. Leadership development plan 33. Skill development infrastructure	Skills and leadership development is the key success to have a stable community group. Focusing on these initiatives can make our movements have a pool of good talents that we believe can benefit us more in the future.
5. Improve User Experience 11. Resources for newcomers Identify Topics for Impact 38. Content initiatives in underrepresented communities Innovate in Free Knowledge 39. Identifying policies that hinder knowledge equity 41. Continuous experimentation, technology, and partnerships for content, formats, and devices	These three initiatives are related, we want to include the content for underrepresented communities who sometimes don’t have a resource to enable them to join the movements, it can be no writing system, audio-based knowledge, that is rejected by our current policy, because we only accept the content that has “written resources”. This list of issues hinder their effort to join the movements.

Q3. What human capacity and / or financial resources do you need to work on implementation?

Think of your existing resources, the movement’s vast resources, and the support infrastructure you may need for moving ideas forward.

A place to learn together about our movements, where we can share our experience, learn or re-learn from the past, adapt to the new situation. With more than 250.000 active volunteers, hundreds of chapter or user-groups, we definitely have more to share. In the current situation, we limit ourselves in our regional or even country-scope, because we don’t have a stable platform to share or if there’s any, it’s scattered around.

Q4. Which initiatives do you think should be the top focus for global coordination?

Think global, movement-wide changes needed.

Decentralization by having regional hubs and supporting the underrepresented community. Decentralization process is hard, but it can benefit the local community, because we put trust in them by ensuring their equity in decision making process, so it can enable them to participate more in the global movements.
