Hi Samuel,
on this list and in this working group (as far as I know) nothing truely happened since some months ago. I am a bit (positively/negatively? not sure yet) surprised that things are still moving, and am actually quite unsure whether this movement charter is actually supported at a movement wide level. We envisioned some kind of final vote by all chapters on it and all other outcomes, each individually agreeing on it (although I still have the feeling that more discussion would have been nice, but it may not be so, unfortunately, that the chapters have enough attention for this during the discussion phase.
I am slightly worried by the fact that quite a lot changes happened in the last days - and no significant time (or time at all, since this message didn't reach them) was given to the chapters to review it /before/ the board does. If they decide to disagree with some points or even whole concepts, it would unavoidably mean yet another clash between the Foundation and the chapters.
I can't help but feel that as a working group, we failed because we have not been able to reach the level of involvement we were looking for.

Dear working group,
Inputs from Wikimania and feedback shared since then have been combined into a summary set of recommendations to the Board: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles/recommendations/board
The charter in particular has been cleaned up: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles/charter
And a draft Chapters Council proposal is quite far along: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_chapters_council
Your reviews and comments on the above would be welcome.
The Board will review the recommendations to them, at a high level, at this weekend's meeting. More public announcements and discussion will follow.
