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@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!
