Wikimedia Movement Strategy: 2020 Community Conversations
by Rupika Sharma 13 Jan '20

13 Jan '20

Hello all! Greetings! Wishing you a very happy new year! We have an update for the next steps of the Movement Strategy <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20>! We're preparing for a final round of community conversations with Wikimedia affiliates and online communities around a synthesized set of draft recommendations to start around 20th January. In the meantime, recommendations’ writers and strategy team has been working on integrating community ideas and feedback into these recommendations. Thank you, for all of your contributions! What's New? The recommendations writers have been working to consolidate the 89 recommendations produced by the working groups. They met in Berlin a few weeks back for an in-person session to produce a synthesized recommendations document which will be shared for public comment around 20th January. A number of common areas for change were reflected in the recommendations, and the writers assessed and clustered them around these areas. The goal was to outline the overall direction of the change and present one set that is clearly understood, implementable and demonstrates the reasoning behind each. What's Next? We will be reaching out to you to help engage your affiliate in discussing this new synthesized version and helping the recommendation writers as well as the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees understand how they will affect your community and what final changes should be made before going forward. Your input in helping us refine and advance key ideas will be invaluable, and we are looking forward to engaging with you for a period of roughly five weeks between 20th January to 21st February. Please share ideas on how you would like to meet and discuss the final draft recommendations when they are released near Mid January whether through your strategy salons & meetups, joining us at global and regional events, joining online conversations, or sending in notes from affiliate discussions. We couldn't do this without you, and hope that you will enjoy seeing your input reflected in the next draft and final recommendations. This will be an opportunity for the movement to review and respond to the recommendations before they are finalized. Warmly, Rupika Rupika Sharma Community Strategy Liaison, Movement Strategy Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> "Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment."
