Well, apart from Copyright law issues in the UK and (with other chapters) in the EU.

I don't think the Movement Roles discussion had any impact on Wikimedia UK achieving charity status (which in any case happened before the movement roles conversation concluded), and in any case Wikimedia UK does virtually no lobbying....

This is my favorite discussion. Movement roles discussion is how we got the UK chapter recognized as a charity capable of political lobbying. That was satisfying.
Maybe we can get the letter to donors back. https://twitter.com/SuePGardner/status/998302792946102273

*During the Wikimedia Conference 2018, the Working Group “Roles & Responsibilities” proposed “Power Dynamics” as a title instead. As power is only a part of the broader conversation around global, regional and local responsibilities and roles, and we wouldn’t want the group to only concentrate on this aspect, the Strategy Core Team decided to keep the original name. *
To me power dynamics gives a poor interpretation and sets up the work group to focus as individual hierarchical building, rather than equity and distribution of responsibilities

Peter Southwood mailto:peter.southwood@telkomsa.net 7 June 2018 at 10:47 am Roles and responsibilities may be a better term, It has a meaning that is more likely to be understood than "power dynamics", which frankly sounds more like rocket science than what people in a group are expected to do. Cheers, Peter

Dear Katherine,
Thank very much you for this update. I was working in the “role and responsibilities” group in Berlin and the outcome was that we had decided to rename it “power dynamics” if I recall correctly.
Now I see this name has not been used, so I feel a little surprized?
Kind regards,

It’s been a while since I sent out the last movement strategy update. A lot has happened in the meantime, and I wanted to give you a heads-up regarding an upcoming call for participation!
But first things first:
- The report from the Wikimedia Conference Movement Strategy Track
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2018/Documentation/Movement_Strategy_track has been published[1]. It captures all the conversations, insights and outputs from three days of intense strategy work, so it’s a (quite) long but very interesting read. It is meant to document the state of the process and to allow for a deep dive into it. It should be especially valuable for those of you who did not have a chance to participate in the conference or attended another conference track.
- Based on WMCON outputs (and various conversations we’ve been having in
our movement for years), the core strategy team has mapped eight key thematic areas https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working_Groups#What_are_the_key_thematic_areas%3F [2] -- and some initial guiding questions -- that should to be answered to enable us to advance towards our strategic direction. These areas include:
- Roles & Responsibilities
- Resource Allocation & Revenue Streams
- Diversity
- Partnerships
- Capacity Building
- Community Health
- Technology
- Advocacy
- The core team will be supporting the creation of Working Groups to take
on these critical conversations. These working groups will be asked to assess the current situation of the thematic area, and obstacles and opportunities. They’ll have access to all the relevant information already collected, and the chance to do further research if needed. They’ll be asked to identify the changes needed in movement structures and develop concrete recommendations for the movement on how to ratify and implement them.[3] An open call for working group members will go out to the movement this week -- please stay tuned for an update from Nicole!
I also had the chance to present more about these plans at last week’s Metrics Meeting. Please do take a look, either look it all up on the Meta[3] or watch the video![4]
Cheers, Katherine
