Hi all,
In preparation for this weekend's meeting, there are a few things that warrant individual review—so we can all start on the same page, as it were.
Although it hasn't changed in a while, for reference, the agenda can be found at http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Agenda_for_MR_workgroup_meeting_2011-1-29/30.
A primary focus, and the one that needs immediate feedback, is on the tough topics, being compiled at http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tough_Topics. Please add to that page as you see fit; I imagine (hope?) it will be frequently edited up to (and probably throughout) the meeting.
If you need reading material on the journey to Frankfurt, there were some great interviews conducted over the past few months:
* Targeted interviews about our initial questions http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Initial_Questions are collected at http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interviews, along with a couple of self-completed responses at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Initial_Questions/Responses.
* Jon interviewed representatives of a few organizations thought to have some insight http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Peer_organizations, and his bullet points are a concise and easy read.
And finally, there's a collection of assorted background material linked from the meta page http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project as well as the index page on the movement roles wiki http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Index.
Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend,
Austin
Thank you, Austin. Looking forward to meeting you soon. :)

Thanks Austin, I have printed most of the information we have to read during my flight. And apparently I'll be comfy to do so, as Iberia has offered to change me to Business class for free. I'm in the VIP zone at Ezeiza airport right now, indeed xD.
Based on what we discussed on one of our last IRC meetings I decided to contact Joan Gomà (Amical), Jorge Sierra (WMES) and Gustavo Gòngora (member of both) to ask them a series of problem-focused questions. I know that we look for general approaches and solutions and we don't want to be hours and hours discussing the Catalans, but their case is IMO actually *the* case and touches a wide arrange of topics, including chapter legitimacy and what to do with that organizations that are not chapters but develop typical chapter tasks and activities, so I thought that having a more not only punctual but concrete insight wouldn't hurt.
I'm still awaiting for Jorge's reply but I do know from WMES' VP that they are interested in having their opinion heard. Gustavo replied by mail and I'm taking his reply to Frankfurt in paper. And Joan did so in Meta, so it would be great if you could read it as extra prep material: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Questions_about_chapte.... My original questions are there in Spanish and he did sort of a free English translation, so in case of doubt please refer to Google Translate or ask me in person ;).
Best, galio
PS: I'm sure that my English is especially horrible this time. Sorry for the inconvenience :P.
