Greetings, Some of you might find it useful. ---------- Forwarded message --------- এনার থেকে: Kaarel Vaidla &lt;kvaidla(a)wikimedia.org&gt; Date: রবি, 1 আগ., 2021 3:47 PM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Call for Candidates for the Movement Charter Drafting Committee To: Wikimedia Mailing List &lt;wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Dear fellow Wikimedians, Movement Strategy announces the Call for Candidates for the Movement Charter Drafting Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee>. The Call opens August 2, 2021 and closes September 1, 2021. The Committee is expected to represent diversity in the Movement <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Diversity_and_Expertise_Matrices>. Diversity includes gender, language, geography, and experience. This comprises participation in projects, affiliates, and the Wikimedia Foundation. English fluency is not required to become a member. If needed, translation and interpretation support is provided. Members will receive an allowance to offset participation costs. It is US$100 every two months. We are looking for people who have some of the following skills <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee#Role_Requirements> : - Know how to write collaboratively. (demonstrated experience is a plus) - Are ready to find compromises. - Focus on inclusion and diversity. - Have knowledge of community consultations. - Have intercultural communication experience. - Have governance or organization experience in non-profits or communities. - Have experience negotiating with different parties. The Committee is expected to start with 15 people. If there are 20 or more candidates, a mixed election and selection process will happen. If there are 19 or fewer candidates, then the process of selection without election takes place. Will you help move Wikimedia forward in this important role? As August 2 has arrived to the most "eastern" time zones (e.g. the Line Islands <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_Islands>), you can already *submit your candidacy here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee/Candidates>* . Please contact strategy2030[image: (_AT_)]wikimedia.org with questions.
