Hi all,
We are two weeks away from our next Conversation with the Trustees—a chance for you to talk with the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees about their work [1]. I’m following up with an agenda for the call. Thanks to everyone who has already registered for the Zoom room (register by emailing askcac@wikimedia.org).
We will be covering these topics: • Updates on the Board’s work • Updates to the Foundation’s Annual Planning Process • The Universal Code of Conduct ratification process • Movement Strategy updates • The Board Elections process • The Foundation’s human rights policy • Luis Bitencourt-Emilio joining the Board of Trustees
The first 30 minutes of the call will be introductions and updates, followed by 60 minutes of open conversation on these topics. While the Trustees may still be able to answer questions about other topics during the call, we hope to focus on these as much as possible to allow for a more organized, in-depth conversation.
Bring your questions to ask live or submit any questions ahead of time to askcac@wikimedia.org.
Thanks and look forward to seeing you there! Elena

Hello everyone,
( Read this message in other languages on Meta: العربية • deutsch • español • français • Русский • 中文)
You are invited to join our next Conversation with the Trustees on 17 February at 18:30 UTC (check your local time).
The event is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees’ Community Affairs Committee (CAC). The Board of Trustees is a volunteer body of movement leaders and external experts in charge of guiding the Wikimedia Foundation and ensuring its accountability. This forum is an opportunity for the community to directly engage with Trustees and talk openly about our work.
We will be hosting this conversation on Zoom with a live YouTube stream. The call will be 90 minutes: a 10 minute introduction, then a 20 minute update from Trustees and Wikimedia Foundation staff, and the remaining time dedicated to open Q&A and conversation.
We want to make these calls interactive, so we encourage as many of you as possible to join us directly in Zoom. All community members in good standing will be able to join us there. Request the Zoom link by emailing askcac@wikimedia.org. If you would like to be added to a list to receive emails with Zoom links for these calls in the future, please indicate that in your email.
We will work to provide interpretation for languages with five or more interested community members. To request interpretation, please email askcac@wikimedia.org. You can do this up until 5 days before the meeting to allow us to make the necessary arrangements.
Closer to the date we will send out a reminder with more information about the agenda, but for now please save the date and register for the Zoom room!
A final note -- in our last meeting (October 2021), we shared that we plan to meet again on December 2021. This meeting was pushed to Jan, and then Feb, in order to allow for more of the Trustees and Foundation leadership to join, including our new CEO. We have made necessary arrangements so that this year we will be able to meet the community more regularly (every other month). You will find the planned dates of future meetings throughout the year on Meta, so you can hopefully "save the date" in advance.
Hoping to see as many of you as possible,
Shani (on behalf of the CAC).
