Dear Fellow Indian Wikimedians,
Many of us already know that Wikimedia movement is undergoing a great
change based on Movement strategy recommendations. *Drafting Movement
Charter is going to mark as one of the very important changes in those
changes.*
The Movement Charter will be a document defining roles and responsibilities
for all the members and entities of the Wikimedia Movement. Movement
charter would:
- Lay the values, principles and policy basis for Movement structures,
including the roles and responsibilities of the Global Council, regional
and thematic hubs, as well as other existing and new entities and
decision-making bodies,
- Set requirements and criteria for decisions and processes that are
Movement-wide to be legitimate and trusted by all stakeholders
Now, the Movement Strategy team is looking for candidates for the Movement
Charter drafting committee. Given the complex issues India is facing with
roles and responsibilities, I believe representation from India into this
committee is very important for our communities and also for global
movement.
I request you all to consider
- Nominating yourself if you believe you have enough experience,
interest and time that this position takes. Or
- Share the news within your community and also encourage people with
the right experience and skills to nominate themselves.
Remaining details and links are in the following forwarded message.
Best,
Pavan Santhosh Surampudi.
