Hi all
The Foundation's Brand Project Team has announced new dates for the naming
proposals feedback. Next week the Live Naming Presentation
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3zlBGHHHiY> will be on YouTube, Tuesday
16th June at 15:00 UTC
<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Brand+Naming+Presentation&iso=20200616T15&p1=1440&ah=1>
(4pm BST).
We will be holding a UK community feedback meeting on *Wednesday 24th June,
1-2pm,* for which I will send a video conference link next week. Again,
this meeting is not to decide whether Wikimedia UK should adopt the
rebrand, but to discuss the different naming proposals and measure them
against the survey questions. The rebrand will not apply to projects such
as Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, or WikiJournal of Medicine, it is only for
affiliates such as chapters and user groups who are using the Wikimedia
name and logo.
The survey questions are now on meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Wikimedia_brands/2030_movement_brand_project/Naming_convention_proposals/Survey_text>.
While the proposals will not be posted until the 16th, reviewing the
questions can help you plan your feedback.

Hi all
The Brand Project Team has postponed today’s live presentation of the
naming proposals due to trademark concerns, more info here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Communications/Wikimedia_brands/2030_movement_brand_project?fbclid=IwAR0kBKCt4cElMDxZrZkTYSoIfintMZZGqgy1Wbp5Ei2ef81BJGkMbTT2lEY#Rescheduling_Naming_Convention_Proposal_community_review>.
Therefore Wikimedia UK will also be rescheduling our feedback meeting on
14th May. The Brand Team is meeting with the Foundation’s Board of Trustees
on the 22nd May, after which I hope we can set a new date for our feedback
discussion.
Do let me know if you have any questions.
Best wishes
Katie

Morning all
As some of you will already know, the Wikimedia Foundation is currently
exploring whether or not it should rebrand. The impetus for this is the
2030 movement strategy, and the objective of better communicating who we
are in order to attract billions of new users into the movement.
Phase 1 of the rebrand has been completed, which resulted in the creation
of the design concept of ‘Interconnection’. You can watch the concept
presentation here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS72O6Si94Q>. The
branding team are now in Phase 2, which focuses on potential new naming
conventions for the Wikimedia Foundation (and potentially other
organisations within the movement). The naming convention proposals will be
released for movement-wide feedback via a live YouTube presentation
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfJAZEkDVIY> from the Foundation’s
branding team this Thursday 7th May at 6pm BST.
Wikimedia UK will be holding a video conference on Thursday 14th May at
1-2pm to gather feedback on the proposals. The discussion will focus on
how well each naming proposal fulfils the six branding objectives
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Wikimedia_brands/2030_movement_brand_project#The_qualities_of_good_Movement_branding>
as defined by the Wikimedia Foundation. You can give feedback directly in
this meeting - either verbally or in the chat - or on this page on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Brand_Network/Wikimedia_UK>. If you
have any questions or would prefer to give feedback by email, please
contact me at katie.crampton(a)wikimedia.org.uk.
We are currently working on the agenda for this hour long meeting, in
which we will summarise the current status of the branding project and the
proposed new naming conventions, and facilitate feedback from participants.
The meeting will be taking place on Zoom so please use the following
meeting link:
Wikimedia branding meeting

Meeting ID: 849 2370 5171
Password: 916100
Wikimedia affiliates <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Brand_Network>,
such as chapters and user groups, will have the option of whether to opt in
to the new brand and change their own organisational names. However the
meeting on 14th May is not to decide whether Wikimedia UK should rebrand,
but to discuss the risks and rewards of each naming proposal. We will
collate your feedback into a form and submit this to the branding team by
the deadline of 21st May. If you’d prefer to give your feedback as an
individual there will be a seperate form available.
We want to create a friendly space for discussion to ensure we’re hearing
from as many voices in our diverse community as possible. If you have any
questions prior to the meeting, please get in touch.
Best wishes
Katie
