Hi Kaarel,
Thank you for facilitating the Movement Strategy teleconference.
As promised, here are the Working Group proposals I would like to make, each of which is listed with the applicable Thematic Area(s) from the abbreviations below. I hope this helps resolve the issue of how to assign questions which overlap in different Areas.
[R&R] [COM] [DIV] [ADV] Movement leaders need to advocate for policies which directly support the informed, healthy, and abundant availability of community volunteers. I.e. https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-June/090494.html ;
[R&R] [REV] [ADV] CFO should be trying to achieve capital appreciation instead of cash retention, the former being a refinement of the latter, and our investments should be consistent with our principles -- https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-January/089458.html -- and -- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales/Archive_227... ;
[R&R] [PAR] [T&P] [CAP] intelligibility remediation on Wiktionary as a Foundation technology development project http://j.mp/scraise ;
[R&R] [COM] [T&P] [CAP] [DIV] [ADV] we should not be logging personally identifiable information which might increase our subpoena burden or result in privacy violation incidents. Fuzzing geolocation is okay, but we should not be transmitting IP addresses into logs across even a LAN, for example, and we certainly shouldn't be purchasing hardware with backdoor coprocessors wasting electricity and exposing us to government or similar intrusions https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/analytics/2017-January/005696.html ;
[R&R] [RES] [COM] [CAP] [DIV] [ADV] we need to make sure our economics articles aren't pro-austerity or pro-trickle down -- https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-May/090181.html -- and, e.g. -- https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wiki-research-l/2018-April/006256.html ;
[R&R] [RES] [COM] [T&P] [CAP] [DIV] we need to provide more telepresence opportunities for participation -- I do not have a current URL for the best telepresence robots, but e.g. Amazon likely does -- I do note that the Smithsonian recently started featuring a robot docent ;
[R&R] [RES] [PAR] [COM] [DIV] [ADV] we should add an essay contest into the Education program https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/education/2018-May/002002.html ;
[R&R] [RES] [COM] [DIV] [ADV] we should be demanding compulsory royalties for Wikipedians -- https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/publicpolicy/2016-December/001559.html ;
[R&R] [REV] [PAR] [CAP] We should grow the Endowment with exclusive fundraiser galas competing with the World Economic Forum for the most exclusive fundraising events; and
(via Pine) [R&R] [RES] [COM] [CAP] Working Groups should be allowed to make exceptions to the hour requirements in pursuit of expertise and diversity -- Kaarel, you mentioned you have already added language to address this issue.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Best regards, Jim
