At its meeting on 9 October, the Movement Roles working group presented an update on its current work and an outline for the coming year. Thanks to everybody who participated in the preparation of the proposal. The Board approved the direction of the group, and encouraged all interested parties, particularly chapters and other stakeholders as outlined in the proposal, to engage in the process. You can find the proposal on meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Proposal After working mainly on the framing of the process over the past weeks, we're now starting with the real work. For example, over the next few months we will be reaching out to hear from a broad range of Wikimedians. For anybody who wants to engage in the process or just wants to learn more about the movement roles project we will have an open meeting next Thursday. The agenda will be to update you on progress to date, lay out the process going forward, and to find out how you might be able to help us. Please join us at 1500 UTC on Thursday, 21 October on IRC in the #wikimedia-roles channel. If you do not have an IRC client, you can join using a web browser: go to http://webchat.freenode.net/, type in the nickname of your choice, and choose #wikimedia-roles as the channel. If you're interested in participating in the process and can't make it to the open meeting, you can send an e-mail to adhair(a)gmail.com, or comment on-wiki—see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project. We are particularly interested to hear your answers to the list of questions we plan to ask Wikimedians, which you can see at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Questionnaire On behalf of the working group, Austin Hair
