Hi everyone,
On behalf of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee>
(MCDC), we would like to thank everyone who has participated in our
first community-wide
consultation period
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Community_Consultation>
on the Movement Charter.
People from across the movement shared their feedback and thoughts on the
content of the Movement Charter. If you have not had the chance to share
your opinion yet, please do so by filling out the anonymous survey
<https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/743832>, which is accessible in
12+ languages. Please bear in mind that the survey will close on *January
2, 2022, at 23:59 UTC*.
*What’s next?*
The Movement Strategy and Governance
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance#:~:text=The%20Movement%20Strategy%20and%20Governance,wiki%20projects%2C%20languages%20and%20regions.>
team will publish the final report with a summary of the feedback received
in January 2023. It will be shared with the MCDC and the communities via
different distribution channels.
After receiving the final report, the MCDC will review the suggestions and
communicate the changes by providing an explanation of how and why
suggestions were or were not adopted in the next versions of the drafts.
There will be additional ways to engage with the Movement Charter content
in 2023, including early feedback on a proposed ratification process and
new drafts of different chapters in the second quarter of 2023.
We invite you to sign up for the MCDC monthly newsletter
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Newsletter>,
which will be delivered to the Talk page of your choice. Monthly updates
are available on Meta to stay updated on the progress of the MCDC. Please
continue to share your thoughts with the MCDC via email:
movementcharter(a)wikimedia.org.
Interested people can still sign up to become Movement Charter Ambassadors
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance/Movement_Charter_Ambassadors_Program/Join#Central_and_Eastern_Europe_and_Central_Asia>
to support their community. MC Ambassadors Program
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance/Movement_Charter_Ambassadors_Program/About>
will restart accepting applications from both individuals and groups ahead
of the next round of consultations in the second quarter of 2023.
We thank you for your participation, time, and effort in helping to build
the charter for our movement!
