Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Call for Candidates for the Movement Charter
Drafting Committee
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear fellow Wikimedians,
Movement Strategy announces the Call for Candidates for the Movement
Charter Drafting Committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee>.
The Call opens August 2, 2021 and closes September 1, 2021.
The Committee is expected to represent diversity in the Movement
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Diversity_and_Expertise_Matrices>.
Diversity includes gender, language, geography, and experience. This
comprises participation in projects, affiliates, and the Wikimedia
Foundation.
English fluency is not required to become a member. If needed, translation
and interpretation support is provided. Members will receive an allowance
to offset participation costs. It is US$100 every two months.
We are looking for people who have some of the following skills
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee#Role_Requirements>
:
- Know how to write collaboratively. (demonstrated experience is a plus)
- Are ready to find compromises.
- Focus on inclusion and diversity.
- Have knowledge of community consultations.
- Have intercultural communication experience.
- Have governance or organization experience in non-profits or
communities.
- Have experience negotiating with different parties.
The Committee is expected to start with 15 people. If there are 20 or more
candidates, a mixed election and selection process will happen. If there
are 19 or fewer candidates, then the process of selection without election
takes place.
Will you help move Wikimedia forward in this important role? As August 2
has arrived to the most "eastern" time zones (e.g. the Line Islands
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_Islands>), you can already *submit your
candidacy here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Candidates>*
.
Please contact strategy2030[image: (
_AT_)]wikimedia.org with questions.
Wishing you all a wonderful month of August!
