Hi,
I currently volunteer as your Strategy Liason for the Wikimedia Movement Strategy Process https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20. In this role I would play a vital role in bringing the perspective of our community into global conversations about how we need to grow and change in order to advance in our Wikimedia 2030 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CKFKyc7We4direction.
*"In 2017 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Direction, our community set a bold direction: By 2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge, and anyone who shares our vision will be able to join us. From there, we began the first steps toward deciding what structural changes within our movement were required to get there. Since July 2018, working groups https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working_Groups have identified key guiding questions within nine thematic areas relevant to the movement. Now it’s your turn to take them back to your organized group or community, and share their feedback back at the global level. *
*Our first big milestone on the community conversation timeline is the 2019 Wikimedia Summit https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Summit_2019, which many of you will be attending in Berlin, Germany from March 29th-31st. We'll be discussing the questions the working groups have defined around how to make our movement more future ready and take some early steps toward answering them. For those in attendance, your perspective is crucial, and we want to make sure you have had a chance to gather initial thoughts from the organized groups you represent. *
*To kick-start these efforts, we are pleased to be able to release the Scoping Documents https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Participate from our 9 working groups. Each document outlines key questions under a different theme that relate to structural challenges in the movement. These documents are available in multiple languages so that as many people as possible can have a voice in answering them."*
From now till March 28th I would be soliciting your views on certain key
questions and any other view you have about the Wikimedia 2030 agenda.
Have any difficult getting some of the documents in this email please let me know. Find additional material below.
Regards,
Justice.
