Thanks for that explanation. Could you provide a link to the review meetings that were held in advance of designing the survey?
If this was a model for the WIR review, then I presume that as a Lead Trainer I was invited to contribute to that stage, not just the general satisfaction survey that is completed by both unpaid volunteers and paid volunteers.

Regarding the Training the Trainers review, people who went on the course were invited to complete a survey. In fact you were sent multiple emails about it. 27 out of the 34 people invited to the survey replied.

Thanks for your answers on this Jon. Nice to see you engaging with volunteers.
I seem to be left to answer my own question. I have to assume an on-wiki page does not exist. The charity and the board of trustees is 100% committed to transparency and staying volunteer-centric. To demonstrate that is still the case today, I see no reason why the minutes of this important weekend meeting should not now be promptly published on-wiki.
I am taken aback that there was a review of Train the Trainers. As an unpaid volunteer Lead Trainer I would expect to be informed or invited to contribute. Why do we know nothing about it?
Thanks for confirming this meeting existed with the members of the charity Jon, I am sure you have no interest in keeping the details of who went and why they were chosen an unnecessary secret. This is the sort of leadership on transparency that our CEO needs at his core, preferably to avoid these questions ever occuring.
Fae.

Internal is the sense that it was staff and people who had been/are employed as WiR plus one other person who had been heavily involved in the employment and a trustee.
When we reviewed Train the Trainers we followed a similar model of small groups, individual interviews etc.
This was part of the process.
The weekend as this was the only day that worked for the group as a whole.
I hope that explains it and that we will encourage Andy and everyone to continue to participate in this review.

Hi Jon,
I'm confused - how can it be a 'small internal meeting' that also includes people that aren't 'internal' to the WMUK office? And why, if it's an internal meeting, did it take place on a weekend necessitating staff to give up their Saturday?
Thanks, Mike

Good morning everybody,
Daria and I are puzzled as to why a small internal meeting gained the status of a 'summit'! It was part of the analysis we are doing particularly with regard to the UK sponsored WiR posts and one of a series of processes. It involved people who had been paid by WMUK or closely involved in that proocess looking at the particular issues that brings up.
We fully expect Andy and everyone to be involved through the consultation and in particular we are planning a day event (it was provisionally May 24 but we are not sure of the date yet, it is likely to slip into June). This will be up on the wiki as soon as we know and everyone will be welcome. Andy's experience will be very relevant.
Jon
PS Can I thank Jonathan and Daria and everyone else who gave up their Saturday.

The closest I can come is Daria posting on the 17th March on the WMF Outreach Wiki about WMUK's survey about WIR positions in the UK [1], or her posting on the Water Cooler on Thursday (3 April) about the volunteer opportunity related to analysing the data from this survey [2].
This makes me wonder whether some wires have got crossed somewhere along the line?

As a four-time[1] Wikipedian-in-Residence (indeed, as WMUK's first Wikipedian-in-Residence), I would be interested to know more about the "Wikipedian-in-Residence summit", which was apparently held by WMUK yesterday.
I don't seem to be able to find anything on the wiki, not even an event listing.
[1] More , if you count short stints under other titles.
