WikiDZ

This exercise entailed regular meetings, averaging three per month, with the aim of organizing WikiDZ staff and promoting good governance practices that prioritize the freedom to work. The goal is to facilitate the launch of individual or collaborative projects with the MENA and global community, as well as the Foundation.

The Abidjan Wiki Conference will be overseen by the board of directors, with both in-person and virtual attendance options available to group members. Additionally, group members will have the opportunity to participate virtually in Wikimania.

Furthermore, WikiDZ has launched Wikiclimatechange for the Maghreb region.

Throughout the year, we will continue to explore new collaborative projects at Troyuver to promote free knowledge.

edit

Present : 6

Process for submitting items Meeting Governance, program, annual report

The first step is to refine the list, then define the group and finally add new members.

It's best to define the positions first, then each person chooses a position and then votes as if it were a position.

An executive board should be set up with a president, then group members and a set of commissions.

Here's the list of positions to be filled:

  • Director,
  • Deputy director or assistant director,
  • Secretary,
  • Finance/accounting.

So 4 positions maximum.

edit

present arab comm & wmf staff

  • Key questions:
    • What are the needs that you are going to meet or the services provided to the communities?
    • What is the actual purpose or stated goal from the hub?
    • What is your overall plan regarding the implementation?
  • Important to have as many representative voices to participate in the discussion and coming together
  • The main problem is to hire someone who can move forward with this work (volunteers from the region won’t be able to carry this work alone) the question is what support the Wikimedia can provide
  • Hub doesn’t need to be an entity, hub can be online as well, and it is recommended in the piloting stage.
  • The needs assessments will help you:
    • Hear from the different communities
    • Clarity on what are the needs
    • What is the people’s expectations from the hub
  • There is an option for peer support to learn from peers who have  already gone the same processes
  • Apply for grants to help create the needs assessment ( A challenge was raised at the call: The problem is not the grant, but the energy and availability/effort/time to prepare the grant application as volunteers. This was the main challenge mentioned in the call)

Action items

  • Set up monthly meetings to follow up and provide guidance
  • Needs and expectations assessments to provide full clarity regarding the expectation and needs from the hub (please see the CEE research for questions examples)
  • Connecting with peers, if you all agree to that we can start this with the help of Kaarel Vaidla and Yop Rwang Pam
