> Hi Friends,
> Sorry for the extra email this week. I accidentally sent the wrong email, but you now know sooner rather than later about the whole process. Here is the email that is especially relevant to the selection process. -Jackie
>
> Dear Wikimedia affiliate representatives,
>
> We are contacting you today because you are an important part of forming the Movement Charter Drafting Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee>. The Movement Strategy <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Recomme…> process recommended the creation of a “Movement Charter.” The Charter will be a document defining roles and responsibilities for all parts of the Wikimedia Movement. The Drafting Committee will create a draft of the Movement Charter. The process will include researching and consulting with communities, experts, and organizations.
>
> Timeline
> We have created together <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy/Events/Documentation/27_J…> a process for setting up the committee:
>
> October 11-24
> All (eligible) Wikimedians across all project communities vote on the candidates to elect 7 members
>
> October 11 - 24
> Wikimedia affiliates will select 6 members of the committee (through a group of selectors).
>
> October 25 - 31
> The WMF appoints 2 members of the committee.
>
> By October 31
> Drafting Committee announced
>
> More detailed process overview can be accessed on meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Set_Up_…>.
>
>
> Affiliate engagement
> Wikimedia affiliates are an important part of the Wikimedia Movement and thus in creating this Movement Charter. We kindly ask you to support us in the following several tasks:
>
> The affiliates will select their candidates via 9 selectors. All affiliates are divided into eight geographic regions and one “thematic region.” Each region chooses one person (selector). The division follows existing regional collaborations with some adaptations to avoid overlap (e.g. Africa). You, as an affiliate representative, please check the list and correct it <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Affiliates_by_Region>, if you feel that you "belong" to another region.
> We then ask you to convene on the regional level and define your representative in the selector group. It is up to each region on how to select your selector, but doing it in a transparent way (e.g. on Meta) is helpful. The selector needs to be selected by October 10, 2021 (before the election for the online communities starts)
> The 9 selectors will convene later and will choose candidates from the common pool of candidates <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Candida…>.
>
> For the full context of the Movement Charter, its role, as well the process for its creation, please have a look at Meta. You can also contact us at any time on Telegram or via email (wikimedia2030(a)wikimedia.org <mailto:wikimedia2030@wikimedia.org>).
>
> Your support in this is absolutely essential. We are looking forward to working on this with you.
>
> Best regards,

> Date: Tuesday, September 14, 2021 at 3:32:01 PM EDT
>
> Dear fellow Wikimedians,
>
> This is an update from the Movement Charter <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter> process. We have closed the call for candidates on September 14 (AoE <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth>) for the Drafting Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee> and now have a pool of candidates <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Candida…> with diverse backgrounds to choose from.
>
> The 15 member committee will be selected with a 3-step process <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Set_Up_…>:
> Election process for project communities to elect 7 members of the committee.
> Selection process for affiliates to select 6 members of the committee.
> Wikimedia Foundation process to appoint 2 members of the committee.
>
> Communities elect 7 members
> This announcement is related to the community elections, which will take place in a time period of 2 weeks from October 11 to October 24. We look forward to a wide participation across the communities to create the committee to curate the writing of the Movement Charter. The Election Results will be published on November 1.
>
> Affiliates select 6 members
> Parallel to the election process, all affiliates asked to contribute as well: All affiliates were divided into eight geographic and one ‘thematic’ region (check the list), and each region chooses one person who will act as a selector for that region. These 9 selectors will come together to select 6 of the committee (from the same pool of candidates). The selection results will be published on November 1.
>
> Wikimedia Foundation appoints 2 members
> Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation will appoint two members to the committee by November 1.
>
> All three processes will be concluded by November 1, 2021, so that the Movement Charter Drafting Committee can start working by then.
>
> For the full context of the Movement Charter, its role, as well the process for its creation, please have a look at Meta. You can also contact us at any time on Telegram or via email (wikimedia2030(a)wikimedia.org <mailto:wikimedia2030@wikimedia.org>).

Resending since list-serv doesn’t like non-text messages. Sorry about the
‘spam’.

it out tonight
Ha! My email archives are organized way better than I remember it. I must
have been bored during the pandemic :-)
I have posted at this link --
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_Colorado_User_Group/Annual_R…
.
Please take a look and make changes as necessary. I am targeting publishing
this by eod (MDT) Friday, 7/16/2020.
**Manav**,
Can you take a look at the draft and let us know if anything else is
required to keep the group current?
Thanks everyone!

As simple as possible.
