Dear Wikimedians of Sri Lanka,
As you may already know, *Movement Charter* is a key priority of Movement
Strategy. The Movement Charter will be a document defining roles and
responsibilities for all the members and entities of the Wikimedia
Movement, including laying out a new Global Council for movement
governance. A broad ratification process is expected for its adoption. One
of the first steps in the process is to constitute a *Movement Charter
drafting committee*.
To gather inputs from community members regarding forming this
committee, a *regional
event* is being organized on *25 June 2021 (Friday) from 6:30 pm to 8 pm
(Sri Lankan time)*. This event is a part of several regional conversations
that will lead up to the global conversations.
The discussion will mainly be focused on the following questions:
- What composition should the committee have in terms of movement roles,
gender, regions, affiliations and other diversity factors?
- What is the best process to select the committee members to form a
competent and diverse team?
- How much dedication is it reasonable to expect from committee members,
in terms of hours per week and months of work?

Note: You may also send in your responses to the above questions via email
if you prefer it that way.
Thank you
