From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

There were no comments from the Previous meeting notes, the discussion focused on Wikimedia Summit planning, cluster documents and scoping as well as Community Health Working Group coordination.

Action Items from the last meeting

Most of the action items had been completed.

  • Pavan Santosh and Jackie Koerner will follow up merging documents in the next few days.
  • Mevant was invited to the Product and Technology Working Group who liked the idea of discussing overlaps between their group and community Health in their next meeting.

Questions on the Working group schedule leading up to the Wikimedia summit and beyond

  • From the office hours on 11 February, a schedule was made that’s to be followed until the Summit.
  • Expectations of the Working Group and what the Summit will provide
    • The Summit is a platform for the organised part of the movement to get together. It’s dedicated to the Movement Strategy Process and a chance for the Working Groups to speak and talk with on of their main stakeholders of the movement to help refine and talk about the analysis work after scoping.
    • The movement stakeholders can provide perspectives, inspiration and a reality check on what’s being discussed at the moment by the Working Groups. There will also be online conversations with other parts of the movement (The summit schedule is still being finalised)
    • The Working Group will expect to determine areas of synergies, interact with other Working Groups, and determine what will happen in the next months or weeks before Wikimania.
    • While the Working Groups are deep in the process, there will be parallel sessions that will take care of onboarding new people to the Movement Strategy process at the summit.
    • All the scoping documents will be published on meta for community conversations starting in March, the Working Groups can reach out to experts, analysing and determining how they will come to the answers of questions raised in the scoping documents.

Clustering document(s) and scoping

These two topics had been talked about during the office hours on 11 February, if there are overlaps, bringing them into one or two documents won’t be a problem. Combining the clusters, filling the scoping documents and asking the group to comment and review these documents can  be done moving forward

  • Filing the two scoping documents (Scoping document structure/decision making - work in progress and Scoping document group culture - work in progress) will come from the two current documents that Jackie Koerner is working on.
  • Jackie will send out the merged cluster documents to the group (this week) for feedback.
    • combined cluster document
  • The Scoping questions guidelines shared by the core team will help to filter and look at scoping content in a wider view
    • The guide has a strategic direction, the Community Health Working Group needs to determine relevant themes and how these can be involved in the current documents and discussions.
    • Looking at how the Community Health questions and current work are geared towards the Strategic direction, and if the questions in the criteria are at the right level.
    • The next office hours meeting can be changed into a regular call, and might need an external facilitator.
    • Phillip and Pavan might need to brief the facilitator before the call to provide context: Pavan to write an email to follow up with Philip.
  • Everyone is invited to contribute to the development of a definition for community health.

Coordination

Sandra Rientjes will not be in position to fulfill some of the duties and discussions as the Working Group Coordinator due to a staff gap (staff member who left) with lots of deliverables at Wikimedia Netherland, she will not leave the group but will not be as active as before, Pavan and Phillip offered to join in as new coordinators, until April when Sandra is back.
