Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all well!
I am pleased to share that the *draft annual plan *
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024>of
the Wikimedia Foundation for the coming fiscal year from July 2023 to June
2024 has been published and is open for feedback.
While the entire annual plan is available in multiple languages, a short
summary
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024>
is available in close to 30 languages including many from the region.
The Foundation’s current Annual Plan is anchored in the two strategic
pillars of our movement strategy
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy>: * “knowledge equity”
and “knowledge as a service.” *
Since last year, the Foundation has prioritized two-way planning
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2022-2023/…>
with communities by asking community members to share their goals for the
coming year. This renewed approach helps us better see the shared needs,
efforts, and opportunities across communities and to identify further
collaborations that could be developed or deepened by region, by project,
or by another area of interest.
As we embark on our Annual Planning Process (APP) journey for the upcoming
year we are hosting a series of calls/discussions
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/…>
across various time zones to collaborate across the movement. For the South
Asia-friendly time zone, we are hosting the following conversations.
1. In-person session during WikiConference India,
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2023/Program> on the
28th of April with the attendees of the conference. (recording to be
uploaded on meta).
2. Virtual Discussion on the 30th of April, 2023 (0600 UTC)- Join Us!
We would like to invite you all to participate in the virtual discussion on
the 30th of April where Lisa Seitz Gruwell, Chief Advancement Officer, and
Deputy to the Chief Executive Officer
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/profile/lisa-seitz-gruwell/> would be
sharing and discussing the plans with the movement.

Virtual Discussion (Via Zoom)
Date: 30th April 2023 (Sunday)
Time: 0600 UTC (ZoneStamp <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1682834411>)

Hello all, an important update on the UCoC Enforcement Guidelines:
The vote on the Enforcement Guidelines in January 2023 showed a majority
approval of the Enforcement Guidelines. There were 369 comments received
and a detailed summary of the comments will be published shortly. Just over
three-thousand (3097) voters voted and 76% approved of the Enforcement
Guidelines. You can view the *vote statistics on Meta-wiki
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>*
.
As the support increased, this signifies to the Board that the current
version has addressed some of the issues indicated during the last review
in 2022. The Board of Trustees voted to ratify the Enforcement Guidelines.
The resolution can be found on Foundation Wiki
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Resolution:Approval_of_Universal_Code…>
and
you can read more about the process behind the 2023 Enforcement Guidelines
review on Diff
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/03/21/the-enforcement-guidelines-received-s…>
.
There are some next steps to take with the important recommendations
provided by the Enforcement Guidelines. More details will come soon about
timelines. Thank you for your interest and participation.
