The Movement Charter Drafting Committee has received the results of the Movement Charter ratification process.[1] We thank all who participated in the process of developing the Charter, and in voting on its ratification.
We thank the members of the broad and global Wikimedia community who participated in discussion and voting. Similarly, we thank the affiliates who participated in multiple rounds of review and commentary, as well as in the ratification vote.
Our thanks also goes to the members of the Charter Electoral Commission and the scrutineers,[2] who ensured that the vote was conducted in a fair and inclusive manner:
- Abhinav619 - Borschts - Iwuala Lucy - Tochiprecious - Der-Wir-Ing (CEC Advisor) - Superpes15 (scrutineer) - EPIC (scrutineer) - Yahya (scrutineer) - Johannnnes89 (scrutineer)
The development of the Movement Charter received significant assistance from external facilitators and from support staff throughout the process. Several of those support staff have moved on to other roles within the Wikimedia community. We note in particular the following, who worked with the MCDC as we finalized the draft and completed the ratification process:
- Kaarel Vaidla - Nhu Phan - Ramzy Muliawan - Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska (communications support) - Aida Akhmedova (communications support) - Joe Sutherland (SecurePoll support) - Nahid Sultan (SecurePoll support)
The Movement Charter Drafting Committee will be reviewing the extensive number of comments received from both affiliates and individual voters in the next few weeks. These comments will be published, with a summary, prior to |Wikimania Katowice[3] in early August 2024. Following this review, the MCDC will publish an additional communication suggesting next steps.
