At our WMF Board meeting last weekend, the Board followed up on one of the recommendations from the movement roles team and asked the WMF Audit Committee to work with community to help create a set of movement wide accountability/governance/transparency standards. I took a first shot at putting some up on meta:
Please take a look and jump in and help with some edits. I know many of you have spent a lot of time thinking through these issues and am looking forward to creating something really useful for all our chapters and movement organizations.
One question I had was whether we should somehow segment these into goals for new organizations (say in the first year or two) and goals for more mature organizations. What do you think? How could we set that up without somehow suggesting some "standards" are less important than others?
