Project wiki representatives

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Collecting representatives of project wikis

Translate this page, and start a discussion on your project wiki about selecting a representative for your project wiki.

Your voice is needed

[edit]

You are a contributor to one of the projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF). The Wikimedia Foundation hosts over 900 wikis. The Wikimedia Movement consists of the WMF, the communities of the 900 project wikis, and over 140 affiliate organizations (chapters, thematic organizations and user groups).

In the future there will be a Global Council representing the communities. The Global Council will negotiate a service level contract for hosting the wikis with a service provider.

The roles and responsibilities of the Global Council are to be written in a Constitution for the Wikimedia Movement, also known as Movement Charter. An Interim Global Council will be tasked (among other things) with drafting a Movement Charter.

The Movement needs the voice of your wiki on the Global Council. We need a representative from your wiki to invest time and energy in collaborating with representatives from all other wikis. For selecting a representative you can follow local policies and procedures for selecting functionaries and/or decision making.

Question(s) for the conversation at the project wikis and the affiliates

[edit]

Does your project wiki or affiliate community support the creation of a Global Council, and support drafting a constitution for the movement? Who will be the representative of your project wiki or affiliate willing to collaborate with representatives of project wikis and affiliates to work on these matters?
