Hello all,
During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit in Berlin, the Movement Charter Drafting
Committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee>presented
the first outline of the *Movement Charter,* giving a glimpse on the
direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then
integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit.
Before proceeding with writing the Charter, the MCDC wants to interact with
community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble,
Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (*intentions statement*).
These Movement Charter drafts will become available on the Meta page here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Content> on November 14,
2022. The community wide consultation period on the Charter will take place
from November 20 to December 18, 2022. More information on these
conversations will follow shortly.
*“Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter'' sessions*
With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully
participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their
perspective on the Movement Charter, three “Ask Me Anything about Movement
Charter'' sessions have been scheduled in different time zones ahead of the
Charter consultations. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to
attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter -
its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC
members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear
community feedback.
The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time
zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared
afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned
events:
-
Asia/Pacific: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC. Interpretation is available
in Chinese and Japanese.
-
Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Interpretation
is available in Arabic, French and Russian.
-
Latin America/North America/ Western Europe: November 12, 2022 at 15:00
UTC. Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.

*Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors*
Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and
start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are
encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors (MC Ambassadors). MC
Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support
for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators

from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support
applicants with MC Ambassadors grant requests. If you are interested please
