Hey Frostly
Do we have any further progress on this? I am not seeing any recent discussion at that page on meta.

This is a proposal which was active about 10 years ago. If I remember correctly, at that time it became clear that nobody was going to delegate any responsibilities to the possible committee, which instantly killed the proposal.

Hello Frosty,
In case you missed some comments on the page, the Board of Trustees has initiated
Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force - Meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force
The Sister Project Taskforce currently consists of 6 Trustees (Natalia Timkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Mike Peel, Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight, Lorenzo Llosa and myself) as well as fiveI volunteers selected after an open call - Bilinghurst, Sj, Noe, Kasyap, Galahad.
Now is probably a good time to summarise the Sister Project Taskforce work in 2023:
After the creation of the Sister Project Taskforce initiated by the Chair of the Board of Trustees Community Affairs Committee Shani Evenstein Sigalov, we advertised the volunteer advisory members' positions, conducted the interviews and welcomed the new members.
The Taskforce had nine meetings of the Taskforce in 2023, including a hybrid - in Singapore, where we ran a workshop on Sister Projects during the Wikimania 2023. Rosie and Lorenzo had run a similar workshop in Toronto during the Conference North America 2023. The results of the workshops were incorporated into the Taskforce group.
As a result of our work, we have drafted documents pertinent to the Sister project's lifecycle. In 2024, we will present these documents to the Board of Trustees.
I would be happy to answer any questions; just bear in mind that this is a work in progress.
Season's greetings
Victoria
