[Wikimedia-l] Creating a Wikimania Committee

Dear all, A small group of long-time Wikimaniacs have been working on the perrenial plan to produce a "Wikimania Committee" - a community group who would help steer Wikimania from year to year, advising each local hosting team and ensuring that the processes are open, transparent and community-led. Here are our drafts of what we think we'd want the committee to be like, a charter, and the resolution which we're submitting to the WMF Board: * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Committee * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Committee/Charter * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_resolutions/Wikimania_Committee Comments are very welcome; we're trying to get this done fairly quickly, and of course we will iterate these plans as we get feedback and hopefully more forward on the oft-stalled next steps.
