Hi Gnangarra, hi all,

thanks for sharing your concern. Before selecting the mentioned languages that will be offering interpretation services for, we have checked in with the respective groups, and considered regional context as well as language reality within the Hubs groups. There are several Hubs to be established with a primary language used other than English (Spanish/Portuguese, French, Arabic). That implies as well that there is more than 1 affiliate using each respective language. From what I know and have been informed, the ESEAP group uses English as its communication language internally. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Best regards
Cornelius

Hello

While Colonial languages are spoken across ESEAP mostly as 3rd or 4th languages, they do limit the capacity for people to participate equally.  As someone who's part of ESEAPs leadership can I ask for translations into Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Indonesian, Hindi, Tagalog so that interested people from across Asia(not just ESEAP) have the opportunity to participate with a similar level of understanding.

Regards
Gnangarra

Hello everyone,

thanks for being patient with us. As announced previously, WMF's Movement Strategy and Governance team will host a global conversations event on regional and thematic hubs on June 24, 25 and 26 (Meta page) 

After a revision of the program, the event will focus on the discussion around the proposed Minimum Criteria for Hub Pilots. It is intended to be a space to gather feedback on the criteria and build consensus among participants to develop and fine-tune the draft, while taking into account concerns and disagreements shared by participants before and at the event.

To enable more participants to participate and share their opinion, the event consists of three sessions of 120 min each, organized across different time zones (on June 24, 25 and 26 a session each). We will provide interpretation for Arabic (June 24+25), Spanish (June 24+25), French (June 24+25), Russian (June 24), and Portuguese (June 25) Registration for the event is now open, it closes on June 23. 

Please find all details on our event page. If you can’t wait until the event to discuss the hub matters, join the discussion on meta, on Telegram with Movement Strategy or Hubs specific groups or the very newly available MS Forum.

Best regards,

Cornelius
