"Ask Me Anything" Sessions on Movement Charter
by Chitraparna Sinha 03 Nov '22

03 Nov '22

Dear community members, During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Drafting_Committee> (MCDC) presented the first outline of the Movement Charter, giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: *Preamble*, *Values & Principles*, and *Roles & Responsibilities* (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Content> on 14 November 2022. Community wide consultation period on Movement Charter will take place from 20 November to 18 December 2022. Learn more about it here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Community_Consultation>. With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to equitably contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three *“Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter"* sessions have been scheduled for different timezones. Everyone is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback. The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different timezones. Only the presentation will be recorded and shared afterwards, conversation will not be recorded. Below is the list of planned sessions: - *Asia/Pacific*: 4 November 2022 at 09:00 UTC (your local time <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1667552400>). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese. - *Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa*: 12 November 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1668265257>). Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian. - *Latin America/North America/ Western Europe*: 12 November 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1668265257>). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese. You will find more details on the Meta page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter/Community_Consultation>; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours before the session. *Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors* Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance/Movement_C…> (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance/Team> from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested, please sign up <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance/Movement_C…> . If you have specific questions, you can reach out to me ( csinha-ctr(a)wikimedia.org), write to the MSG team (strategy2030(a)wikimedia.org), or write on the MS Forum <https://forum.movement-strategy.org/>.

WHintangible a video contest for UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage
by yamen bousrih 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

Dear members of the Wiki World Heritage, Wiki World Heritage UG is excited to share with you the details of a new video contest related to UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Items listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage are very important as they represent our traditions, ethnic lifestyles, and culture. Despite this importance, they are less documented than tangible heritage, and even when documented they are documented in a format that doesn't reflect a clear idea of it(mainly text). Because videos are very good to describe intangible heritage and also because they are very important as a format to be uploaded to Commons and used in Wikipedia, the Wiki World Heritage UG is organizing during October and November a video contest with the theme Traditional craftsmanship: crafts inscribed by the UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The contest aims to collect videos showing different skills and crafts from all over the world and use these videos on Wikipedia. You can visit the campaign page on Commons where you can find more details and upload videos: Commons:WHintangible 2022 - Wikimedia Commons | | | | | | | | | | | Commons:WHintangible 2022 - Wikimedia Commons | | | We will be grateful if you could share this within your communities and contribute to spreading the word! Best RegardsYamen

Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct
by Chitraparna Sinha 09 Sep '22

09 Sep '22

Hello everyone, The Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Revisions committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…> is requesting comments regarding the *Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC)* <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>. This review period will be open from *8 September 2022 until 8 October 2022.* The Committee collaborated to revise these draft guidelines based on input gathered from the community discussion period from May through July and the community vote that concluded in March 2022. The revisions are focused on the following four areas: 1. To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the UCoC training; 2. To simplify the language for more accessible translation and comprehension by non-experts; 3. To explore the concept of affirmation, including its pros and cons; 4. To review the balancing of the privacy of the accuser and the accused The Committee requests comments and suggestions about these revisions by *8 October 2022*. From there, the Revisions Committee anticipates further revising the guidelines based on community input. *Find the Revised Guidelines on Meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…> and a comparison page in some languages. <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>* Everyone may share comments in several places. Facilitators welcome comments in any language on the Revisions Guideline Talk Page. Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at local discussions, or during conversation hours. There are planned live discussions about the UCoC enforcement draft guidelines. *Conversation Hours* <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…> The facilitation team supporting this review period hopes to reach a large number of communities. If you do not see a conversation happening in your community, please organize a discussion. Facilitators can assist you in setting up the conversations. Discussions will be summarized and presented to the drafting committee every two weeks. The summaries will be published here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…> .
