Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network/2024 06

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
  • All are welcome: You do not need to be an affiliate to participate in the calls.
  • Each call is planned to last 90 minutes.
  • There is a Telegram group for an ongoing chat.

This is a special community meeting to discuss the state of the Movement Charter, and will be hosted by community members with support of the SWAN organisers, ahead of the coming ratification vote, June 25 to July 9, 2024.

TL;DR – Quick catch-up[edit]

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees (BoT) liaisons to the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) (Nataliia Tymkiv and Lorenzo Losa) announced they will not recommend to the BoT to ratify the charter in its current form. They will recommend the development of new concrete and time-bound next steps to "evaluate progress". The reason stated is that the "proposed Charter does not address the significant concerns" raised by the Board earlier this year (February and May).

Each of the 3 voting blocks: community, affiliates, and the BoT needs to approve the Charter to ratify it, meaning that each of them has the power to veto the Charter if they vote against it.

We are currently planning for the next meeting on Sunday, 2023-06-23.

    as a Wikimedia Foundation board member i have not joined at the beginning, and i understood that at some point there would be an invitation to join -- but so far there was no ping, so i am assuming the conversation is still not where such an invitation can be sent (there was no timing on the agenda to plan to join for a specific time) -- i hope it can be figured out for the second call in a clearer way --アンタナナ 04:12, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
