On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Board Elections Committee, I am pleased to announce that self-nominations are now being accepted for the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Elections.[1] The Board of Trustees (Board) is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long-term sustainability of the Wikimedia Foundation,[2] so we value wide input into its selection. More information about this role can be found at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>. Please read the letter from the Board of Trustees calling for candidates here: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Board_o…>.

The goal of this process is to fill the three community-selected seats on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. The election results will be used by the Board itself to select its new members. The full schedule for the Board elections is as follows.

Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process
by Gregory Varnum 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.[1] The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here. This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard. The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction. Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list,[2] and posted on Meta-Wiki.[3] Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this list as well. Here is a review of the updates that have been sent so far: Update 1 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (15 December 2016) - https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=10153348 - Introduction to process and information about budget spending resolution to support it Update 2 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (23 December 2016) - https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=10157430 - Start of search for Lead Architect for movement strategy process Update 3 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (8 January 2017) - https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=10167420 - Plans for strategy sessions at upcoming Wikimedia Conference 2017 Update 4 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (11 January 2017) - https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=10169064 - Introduction of williamsworks Update 5 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (2 February 2017) - https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=10184130 - The core movement strategy team, team tracks being developed, introduction of the Community Process Steering Committee, discussions at WikiIndaba conference 2017 and the Wikimedia movement affiliates executive directors gathering in Switzerland Update 6 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (10 February 2017) - https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=10190631 - Tracks A & B process prototypes and providing feedback, updates on development of all four Tracks Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=10153505 More information about the movement strategy is available on the Meta-Wiki 2017 Wikimedia movement strategy portal.[3] A version of this message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.[1] [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Updates/In… [2] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l [3] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017 List moderators may request that their mailing list not receive future updates by contacting Gregory Varnum (gvarnum(a)wikimedia.org).
