We are being asked to upvote the most important questions to ask people
running to be drafters of the Movement Charter, the deadline is Sunday
night:

The purpose of this is to make a questionnaire for the candidates, so
people have a better idea of the positions of the people they are voting
for.
(I am a candidate myself, and have also proposed some statements.)
Thanks,
Richard

WikiConference North America is going "glocal", this October 8-10, 2021.
This year's online and hybrid conference is focused on Global & Local
efforts within the North American Wikimedia movement.
Do you have an academic presentation you would like us to consider? You can
apply now.
Do you have a share/presentation of recent work within the North American
Wikimedian community you would like us to consider?
Stay tuned to wikiconference.org for when we go live with calls for general
presentations.
Thanks,
Richard
