簡介

我们邀请社群成员对这关于五大运动的指引发表意见，其将帮助我们识别在申请使用属于维基媒体运动的资源时可能面临的利益冲突。下文列出这些指引的拟稿，供社群审阅。欢迎您在元维基的讨论页发表评论。我们希望在咨询社群后，能够最终确定指引内容，并交予维基媒体基金会理事会决议是否采纳。

一般而言，导致潜在利益冲突的个人利益管理不善会在声誉及经济上损害我们的运动资源。拟定的指引旨在鼓励就申请运动资源，全面披露人们的个人利益及经济利益。这些指引帮助确保这些运动资源（如补助金、员工时间、奖学金、商标许可、差旅报销、助学金、就业、以及会议资源）用于实现我们的使命。 这些指引适用于任何运动实体、组织、协会或个人（如维基媒体基金会、分会、专题组织、运动合伙人、用户群、维基爱古迹 (Wiki Loves Monuments)、GLAM 组织以及常驻维基人 (Wikipedians in Residence)）对资源的申请。这些指引并不全面或详尽。指引的目的是为支持现有的运动价值及利益冲突政策，这一政策可能要求回避或以其他方式管理冲突。

重要的是，指引不是为了直接解决更具体的争议话题，例如有偿编辑。我们了解社群有在其他场所从事相关讨论。尽管如此，此等指引可能用作基准，可于将来再据此制定更具体的政策。目前我们仅希望针对某些简单、但愿不具争议的指引做出建议，以帮助人们了解在申请及使用运动资源时，应该于何时披露自己的个人利益或经济利益。

我们希望聆听您的想法。您可在元维基的讨论页发表评论，或推荐编辑内容。我们不是寻求共识或请求注解，这是帮助我们聆听文件需要改善之处。为帮助确保总体了解及更简易的翻译，我们建议指引内容应简短，且限于一页。维基媒体基金会法务部极其感谢有机会聆听您的想法，并从您的智慧中受益。当然，我们会阅读您的评论并给予答复，亦会在草拟终版时纳入考虑，以便向理事会提议。

我们预计于2013年1月15日结束评论期。可能于2013年2月1日至2日的会议期间，向理事会提议。另外，我们可延长评论期，并请求理事会于其他时间批准指引。我们鼓励国际参与，而且，如果需要更多时间进行翻译或评论，我们会就此进行考虑。

非常感谢您一如既往地评论与积极参与。

Five Wikimedia guidelines on the disclosure of potential and actual conflicts of interest in requesting movement resources

Introduction

Mismanaged personal interests resulting in potential conflicts of interest can hurt our movement, both in reputation and financial ways. The five below guidelines – which include a requirement to "disclose actively" potential or actual conflicts of interest – seek to promote honesty and transparency in requesting and allocating movement resources. These resources belong to the movement and must always be used to support its mission.

Movement resources include, for example, grants, staff time, scholarships, trademark licenses, fellowships, employment opportunities, travel reimbursements, and conference resources. The guidelines apply to requests for these resources from movement entities, groups, associations or persons, such as the Wikimedia Foundation, chapters, thematic organizations, movement partners, user groups, Wiki Loves Monuments, GLAM organizations, and Wikipedians in Residence.

The guidelines are not comprehensive or exhaustive. They support existing conflicts of interest and other governance policies, which may require recusal or other ways of managing the conflict.

Guidelines

Guideline one

Disclose actively if you are receiving payment or anything of value from a person or organization that may benefit from your request, use, or allocation of movement resources.

Guideline two

Disclose actively if you are requesting, using, or allocating movement resources that may benefit your family member, spouse, partner, business associate, significant other, close friend, or their organizations or employers.

Guideline three

Answer fully and honestly any relevant and appropriate questions when requesting, using, or allocating movement resources.

Guideline four

Disclose actively if your request, use, or allocation of movement resources could be perceived by others or the public as improper. Even the perception of a conflict or unauthorized personal gain needs to be disclosed.

Guideline five

Do not request, use, or allocate movement resources for unauthorized personal gain.

Definition of "Disclose Actively"

Under the guidelines, a person should "disclose actively" a potential or actual conflict of interest. To "disclose actively" means (1) to report the conflict to the decision-maker or supervisor in charge of the allocation of the movement resources in question; and (2) to do so explicitly and in advance of any serious discussion or decision about the allocation or use of those movement resources.

示例

• Example one: A Wikimedian asks to post a blog on the Wikimedia Foundation’s site, which will involve work by the Foundation’s communications team. The blog will feature a specific artist. The Wikimedian is also employed by that artist’s estate. The Wikimedian should actively disclose this paid relationship right away in her first contact with the communications team. The team can assess independently whether the blog reflects an appropriate use of Foundation resources and whether it should disclose the Wikimedian’s interest.

• Example two: A community member applies for funding from a local chapter to work on a photography project for Wikimedia Commons. His funded work on the project would result in his travelling to a city where he plans to visit his significant other. The community member should disclose this relationship and potential benefit when he makes the request. The chapter’s conflict of interest policy may require an independent review of the need for the trip. The potential conflict is that the community member may be seeking the grant to finance the trip to see a significant other as opposed to the real purposes of the grant – to photograph at a location of interest for the Wikimedia movement. Disclosure allows the grantor to undertake an independent assessment and determine if the proposed grant project – including its selected location – is made in the best interest of the movement.

• Example three: In a request for a grant from the FDC, a chapter trustee has a potential financial conflict of interest. Though her conflict of interest is stated on the local chapter’s blog and she believes the FDC may be aware of it, she nevertheless should actively disclose the potential conflict to the FDC to ensure that the FDC is aware of the conflict.

• Example four: A chapter is considering whether to make a grant to a consulting firm for an open source project. A chapter trustee has an ownership interest in the consulting firm. The firm and trustee must disclose this ownership interest to the chapter when making the grant request. The chapter may then manage or resolve the conflict under its own conflict of interest policy.

• Example five: A member of the FDC committee receives a gift of valuable World Cup tickets from a trustee of a chapter that is applying for the next round of funding. The FDC committee member should disclose the gift. The FDC should manage the conflict according to its conflict of interest policy and best practices.

• Example six: The board of a thematic organization decides to hire an outside accountant to help with the bookkeeping. A board member wishes to hire his sister, who is a certified public accountant and is willing to offer her services at a reduced non-profit rate. The board member must reveal this personal connection to the rest of the board before proceeding with the hiring process. The rest of the board may then treat the conflict pursuant to its own conflict of interest policies, and independently assess the proposed hire.
