Universal Code of Conduct conversation hour for South Asia
by Krishna Chaitanya Velaga 09 Sep '21

09 Sep '21

Dear Wikimedians, As you may already know, the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of behaviour for collaboration on Wikimedia projects worldwide. Communities may add to this to develop policies that take account of local and cultural context while maintaining the criteria listed here as a minimum standard. The Wikimedia Foundation Board has ratified the policy in December 2020. The current round of conversations is around how the Universal Code of Conduct should be enforced across different Wikimedia platforms and spaces. This will include training of community members to address harassment, development of technical tools to report harassment, and different levels of handling UCoC violations, among other key areas. The conversation hour is an opportunity for community members from South Asia to discuss and provide their feedback, which will be passed on to the drafting committee. The details of the conversation hour are as follows: - Date and Time: 16 September, 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm Bangladesh time - Meeting link: https://meet.google.com/dnd-qyuq-vnd | add to your calendar <https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=NmVzbnVzbDA2Y3BwbHU…> You can also attend the global round table sessions hosted on 18 September - more details can be found on this page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/2021_consultation…> . -- Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (he/him) Movement Strategy and Governance, Wikimedia Foundation

Results for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election
by Krishna Chaitanya Velaga 08 Sep '21

08 Sep '21

Dear Wikimedians, Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2021 Board election. The Elections Committee has reviewed the votes of the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election, organized to select four new trustees. A record 6,873 people from across 214 projects cast their valid votes. The following four candidates received the most support: - Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight - Victoria Doronina - Dariusz Jemielniak - Lorenzo Losa While these candidates have been ranked through the community vote, they are not yet appointed to the Board of Trustees. They still need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. The Board has set a tentative date to appoint new trustees at the end of this month.

Dear Wikimedians of Bangladesh, Thank you for participating in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_ele…>! Voting closed on August 31 at 23:59. The official data, including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the Elections Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_ele…> completes its review of the ballots. The official announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board. 6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2% global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In 2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are announced. In the meantime, you can check the data produced during the election <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_ele…> . Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this election for the first time. With your help, next year’s Board of Trustees election will be even better. -- Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (he/him) Movement Strategy and Governance, Wikimedia Foundation
