Hi Gnangarra, hi all,

thanks for sharing your concern. Before selecting the mentioned languages that will be offering interpretation services for, we have checked in with the respective groups, and considered regional context as well as language reality within the Hubs groups. There are several Hubs to be established with a primary language used other than English (Spanish/Portuguese, French, Arabic). That implies as well that there is more than 1 affiliate using each respective language. From what I know and have been informed, the ESEAP group uses English as its communication language internally. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Best regards Cornelius

Hello

While Colonial languages are spoken across ESEAP mostly as 3rd or 4th languages, they do limit the capacity for people to participate equally. As someone who's part of ESEAPs leadership can I ask for translations into Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Indonesian, Hindi, Tagalog so that interested people from across Asia(not just ESEAP) have the opportunity to participate with a similar level of understanding.

Regards Gnangarra

Hello everyone,

thanks for being patient with us. As announced previously, WMF's Movement Strategy and Governance team will host a *global conversations event on regional and thematic hubs https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hubs on June 24, 25 and 26 (Meta page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hubs/Global_Conversations_June_24-26,_2022)*

After a revision of the program, the event will focus on the discussion around the proposed *Minimum Criteria for Hub Pilots* https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hubs/Minimum_Criteria_for_Pilots*.* It is intended to be a space to gather feedback on the criteria and build consensus among participants to develop and fine-tune the draft, while taking into account concerns and disagreements shared by participants before and at the event.

To enable more participants to participate and share their opinion, the event consists of three sessions of 120 min each, organized across different time zones (on June 24, 25 and 26 a session each). We will provide *interpretation *for Arabic (June 24+25), Spanish (June 24+25), French (June 24+25), Russian (June 24), and Portuguese (June 25) Registration for the event is now open, it closes on June 23.

Please find all details on our event page. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hubs/Global_Conversations_June_24-26,_2022 If you can’t wait until the event to discuss the hub matters, join the discussion on meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hubs, on Telegram with Movement Strategy https://t.me/+U-4hhVPaxKGHseva or Hubs specific https://t.me/+cwcxAJg6yrBjOGRk groups or *the very newly available **MS Forum https://forum.movement-strategy.org/c/ensure-equity-in-decision-making/hubs/18.*

Best regards,

Cornelius

Dear fellow Wikimedians,

I am happy to announce that *the report of June 24-26 Global Hub Conversations is now published on meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hubs/Documentation/June_2022_Global_Conversations *[1] and ready for your reading and comments. You can either use report talk page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hubs/Documentation/June_2022_Global_Conversations [2], criteria talk page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hubs/Minimum_Criteria_for_Pilots [3], Movement Strategy Forum https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/hubs-june-2022-global-conversations-report-published/1200 [4] or Movement Strategy Telegram groups to ask questions or share your feedback and insights.

For easier access I am summarizing key outcomes and next steps from the event also in this email thread:

*Key agreements* ➼ There is value of the criteria to guide and inform the work on hubs ➼ The number of currently proposed criteria was perceived as too high ➼ 5 core criteria for piloting: 1) A Stated Goal, 2) Public Documentation, 3) Needs Assessment, 4) Clear Plan, 5) Connection to Movement Strategy Implementation ➼ The criteria should rather function as guidelines than blockers ➼ The principle of the subsidiarity would need to be followed in hub pilot implementation ➼ Expectation of continuous support to the groups setting up their hubs in various forms

*Open questions* ➼ It was not discussed in detail what the implementation of subsidiarity principle in the hub work would mean in practice. ∙ What information and guidance is provided to empower them to implement self-management and subsidiarity? ∙ How are potential overlaps and conflicts between hub pilots managed in a “bottom-up” process? ∙ What guardrails are needed to avoid duplications and redundancies among Hubs?

➼ What does the Movement expect from Hub pilots in terms of monitoring, evaluation, and learning? ∙ How could a structure for connecting Hubs pilots and enabling peer sharing and learning look alike? ∙ How is accountability of Hubs pilots in terms of documentation and information sharing ensured? ∙ How is it ensured that Hubs pilots are comparable across the Movement?

➼ How do Hubs pilots access and acquire support?, including ∙ Access to financial resources. ∙ Access to staff support and advice for designing, planning, and executing the pilots.

*Next steps* ➼ By end of July 2022: Comprehensive report regarding the feedback on proposed Minimum Piloting Criteria (on Meta + MS Forum), to be published by WMF Movement Strategy + Governance team ➼ By Wikimania 2022: New version of the criteria/guidelines and request for feedback, by WMF Movement Strategy + Governance team ➼ By Wikimedia Summit 2022: Further agreement / responses to above mentioned open questions on support structures for Hubs Pilots, by WMF Movement Strategy + Governance

I am looking forward to continuing constructive conversations with you all to advance the work on the hubs and movement strategy!

Happy reading and have a great end of the week! Kaarel
