Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimédia France Governance review

Hi Nadine, Thanks for sharing the document with us. I read it and I found interesting to see the different clashes: - there is no awareness of the individual interpretations of our mission - the community wants anarchism in order to feel free, however the organization needs some kind of structure and specialization to be effective - lobbing, advocacy, and governance are necessary for the community, but since they are "invisible" activities, they are not valued by the community - there is a big wish for openness in the community, however governance requires some privacy as well - employees can have too much influence in any organization if they participate, but it is unfair to exclude them - the WMF exercises power over the movement organizations, but the organizations cannot exercise power over the WMF, creating a power unbalance and mistrust Besides of the recommendations on the document, it feels that there is the need for more dialogue with involved parties to create a mutual understanding. In the end it is a matter of trust, we can only trust something if we know it, and if we understand the benefits that it creates for us. I hope these topics are discussed in the Movement Strategy.
