User Group Administrative/Governance Updates
[edit]- A 2023 User Group annual report draft is in development Wikimedia LGBT+/2023. If you have things you think should be added to the annual report, get in touch with User:Hexatekin or any of the Governance team, or write on the Talk page.
- Lane Rasberry submitted this report and it is logged at Wikimedia_Affiliates_Data_Portal/Reports. No further action for compliance is needed.
- Because the submission was a wiki page, there is still time to revise! Finish by due date 31 January.
- The Wikimedia LGBT+ Board of Trustees and Governance Committee will meet in Feb to draft rules and discuss governance roles and responsibilities. Updates will be published and community feedback will be solicited.
- We plan to submit a 2024 Wikimedia Community Fund, General Support Fund application in March. Preparation has begun.
- Eligibility check starts 16 February
- Everything due 8 March
- Applying in to the North American review committee, Grants:Regions/North America, as we must choose a region even though our scope is thematic and international
Community discussion
[edit]- What have you been editing on Wikimedia platforms?
