Strategy Liaison Update
by Jack Nunn 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

Hi everyone, Here's an update from me in capacity as the Strategy Liaison for our user group. I attended an online Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network meeting on 2022.02.27. Below is a summary of the main points of the meeting (highlighted), with my reflections on some issues with specific relevance to our user groups. The most significant development is the f*orthcoming vote on the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC).* In other news, the work on Standardised Data on Initiatives (STARDIT) <http://scienceforall.world/STARDIT/>is progressing. The article about the Beta version <https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-934285/v1> has been accepted for publication (pending some amendments). I will also be supporting our technical editors to use it. I am also excited to announce that Cochrane is also using STARDIT to report the co-creation of their Values Statement <https://wikispore.wmflabs.org/wiki/Cochrane_Values_Statement>, joining Australian Genomics <https://wikispore.wmflabs.org/wiki/Involve_Australia_Prospective_Report_202…> and other organisations currently using STARDIT. Our work building strategic partnerships for the Wikijournals I hope will be bolstered by my recently being elected co-chair of the Citizen Science and Open Science Community of Practice, <http://citizenscienceglobal.org/projects.html> which feeds into UNESCO work on open science (voluntary position). I also sit on the Cochrane Council (voluntary position) if anyone from the WikiJournal of Medicine wants to reach out with any questions or ideas. There is much going on in the world of systematic reviews and Cochrane and real opportunities to develop partnership working. As always, if you have any questions about strategy, or would like me to raise anything at future meetings - do let me know. All the best, Jack *Notes from Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network meeting* Agenda: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Wikimedia_Affiliates_Network - Universal Code of Conduct/Enforcement guidelines/Voter information <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Enforcement_guide…> - This work has moved forward and a vote to ratify the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) is scheduled for 7 March 2022 - I asked if there would be any specific resourcing to support enforcing the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC). I stated that this resourcing needs to go beyond training (which is all that is currently stated) and needs to include dedicated financial support which can be used to pay for staff time etc so they can support volunteers, and possibly further support for mediation (neutral facilitators etc). It's not always fair or appropriate to rely entirely on volunteers to enforce in some scenarios. - Hubs/Dialogue <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hubs/Dialogue> - The Movement Strategy and Governance team of the Wikimedia Foundation will host a global conversations event on the concept of Hubs on March 12, 2022. It is the second event focusing specifically on Hubs, the first one was the co-creation workshop on November 27, 2021. - Movement Charter <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter> - The Movement Charter will be a document defining roles and responsibilities for all the members and entities of the Wikimedia movement <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_movement>, including laying out a new Global Council <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Global_Council> for movement governance. The Movement Charter is a Movement Strategy <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Strategy> priority. A broad ratification process is expected for its adoption. - Brand <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Brand> - WikiForHumanRights <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/WikiForHumanRights> campaign - The aim of the #WikiForHumanRight campaign is to make sure that everyone has access to neutral, fact-based, and current information around our Right to Healthy Environment. - Get involved here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights - International Women's Day / March gender gap <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Gender_gap> campaigns (landing page for this year <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Gender_gap/International…> ) Shared meeting notes here: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/SWAN_2022_02_meeting_1 All the best, Jack *Director and Founder*, *Science for All* Visit: ScienceForAll.World <http://scienceforall.world> *Twitter*: @JackNunn <https://twitter.com/jacknunn> @campfirescience <https://twitter.com/campfirescience> @scifall <https://twitter.com/scifall> *Facebook*: Science for All <https://www.facebook.com/scifall/> and Campfires and Science <https://www.facebook.com/groups/campfiresandscience/> *Instagram*: @ScienceforAll.World <https://www.instagram.com/scienceforall.world/>@Campfiresandscience <https://www.instagram.com/campfiresandscience/> *Email*: Jack.Nunn(a)ScienceForAll.World <info(a)scienceforall.world> *LinkedIn*: @JackSNunn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacksnunn/> Orcid.org/0000-0003-0316-3254 <http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0316-3254>
