Hi everyone,
On behalf of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee (MCDC), we would like to thank everyone who participated in our first community wide consultation period https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Community_Consultationon the Movement Charter.
People from across the Movement shared their feedback and thoughts on the content of the Movement Charter. If you have not had the chance to share your opinion yet, you are still welcome to do so by giving the drafts a read https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Content/Preamble and filling out the anonymous survey https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/743832, which is accessible in 12+ languages. The survey will close on January 2, 2023. You are invited to continue to share your thoughts with the MCDC via email too: movementcharter@wikimedia.org.
What’s next?
The Movement Strategy and Governance https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance#:~:text=The%20Movement%20Strategy%20and%20Governance,wiki%20projects%2C%20languages%20and%20regions. team will publish the final report with the summary of the feedback received in January 2023. It will be shared with the MCDC and the communities, via different distribution channels.
After receiving the final report, the MCDC will review the suggestions and communicate the changes by providing an explanation on how and why suggestions were or were not adopted in the next versions of the drafts. In the coming 2023 year, we will get back to you with more news and updates on the development of the Movement Charter, and will also start collecting early feedback on its ratification process.
We invite you to sign-up to the MCDC monthly newsletter https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Newsletter, it will be delivered to the Talk page of your choice. Monthly updates https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Updates are available on Meta to remain updated on the progress of the MCDC. Please continue to share your thoughts with the MCDC via email: movementcharter@wikimedia.org.
Interested people can still sign-up to become a Movement Charter Ambassador https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance/Movement_Charter_Ambassadors_Program/Join#Central_and_Eastern_Europe_and_Central_Asia to support their community. MC Ambassadors Program will restart accepting applications from both individuals and groups ahead of the next round of consultations in the second quarter of 2023.
