Please check the below list carefully before registering. It provides you with crucial information on the eligibility criteria and status for participating at the Wikimedia Conference as well as to which participant group you belong to. Moreover, it displays the group related travel and accommodation booking process as well as the participant number regulations.
Eligibility criteria and status[edit]
The eligibility criteria for participating in the Wikimedia Conference 2018 are aligned to the Affiliates’ Agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation.
Chapters, Thematic Organizations, and User Groups must have shown signs of recent activity (within the past six months as of September 30, 2017) and be up-to-date on their reporting by the eligibility deadline (December 15, 2017). Moreover, affiliations need to have been officially recognized by the Wikimedia Foundation before Jan 1, 2017. The columns “Recent activity?”, “Up-to-date on reports?”, “Eligible?” give information about the eligibility status. If you are not yet eligible, we recommend you to catch up with the aforementioned. Whether your affiliation is ready to register, is highlighted in the table below.
Importantly, catching up on your reporting may be as simple as updating your listing and reporting links on the report page. We are watching updates to that page and will be making updates to the eligibility listing accordingly.
Participant groups[edit]
The organization or committee you represent as well your need for funding, determines to which participant group you belong to and your travel and accommodation process.
- Group 1: Representatives of Chapters, Thematic Organizations and User Groups with a full process annual plan grant (APG via FDC process) and Allied Organizations. Participants from this group have to arrange and pay for their travel/accommodation by themselves. Note that all organizations receiving FDC APG funding will be in Group 1, as those organizations have the option to move funding from other areas of their budget to attend the conference, even if they have not set aside funds specifically for the conference.
- Group 2: Representatives of Chapters, Thematic Organizations and User Groups which do not receive funding via an annual plan grant (APG via FDC process). This group includes organizations who receive funding through Simple Annual Plan Grants (Simple APG). WMDE will do the travel arrangement and hotel booking based on the information provided in the registration form.
- Group 3: Representatives of the committees WMF Board of Trustees, FDC, AffCom or WMF staff. Travel and accommodation for this group will be organized by WMF Travel staff.
- Group 4: Additional experts invited by the Program and Engagement Coordinator to complement the conference program, individual community members who come from underrepresented communities and who have demonstrated project or community leadership. Travel and accommodation for this group will be organized by WMDE.
The table below shows to which group your affiliation belongs to. Please make sure to select the appropriate group code according to this overview in the registration form and keep the group related accommodation and travel booking process in mind (column “Travel and hotel booking organized by”).
Participant number regulation[edit]
- Chapters, Thematic Organizations and User Groups may send two delegates. Chapters which employ at least 0.5 FTE by Sep 1, 2017, may send one additional delegate who is a paid staff member.
- Allied organizations may send two delegates.
- The biggest ten language communities (by numbers of active editors [>5 edits/month]) that are not represented by any current affiliate, may send one delegate. As per October 2017, these are the Japanese, Vietnamese, Tamil, Slovak, Croatian, Cantonese, Slovene, Lithuanian, Malayalam and Telugu communities.
Affiliates are asked to only send delegates that are well-informed in goings-on at the affiliate, able to confidently answer questions about it and share experience from their group. They should also be empowered to commit their group to involvement in proposed projects or initiatives. We also advise to check the guideline "How to select the delegates" for that purpose.
