Upcoming Call for Feedback (CfF) about the Board of Trustees Elections
by Chitraparna Sinha 27 Dec '21

27 Dec '21

Hello everyone, The Board of Trustees is preparing a Call for Feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from *7 January - 10 February 2022*. While the details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked: - What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board? - What involvement should candidates have during the election? While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions. Do you want to help organize local conversation during this call? Contact the Movement Strategy and Governance team <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Strategy_and_Go…> on Meta, on Telegram <https://t.me/wmboardgovernancechat>, or via email at msg(a)wikimedia.org. Kindly reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until 3rd January. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize that some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday. Regards, Chitraparna Sinha (Meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CSinha_(WMF)>) Facilitator, Movement Strategy and Governance <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance>, SAARC, Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>

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

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.
