April 2023 ratification methodology community review

edit
Video presentation (21 minutes) summarizing the ratification proposal, from a community conversation in April 2023.

Goals

edit

The Movement Charter needs to be ratified by the communities in order to be accepted by the Wikimedia movement. For this purpose, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) has prepared an early draft proposal for the ratification methodology. The draft methodology will undergo a community review from April 10 to 28, 2023. After the community review, the MCDC will analyze the feedback and share an updated version.

Community conversations

edit

The MCDC will host 3 conversations with the communities to hear their early input on the methodology used to ratify the Wikimedia Movement Charter. Each call will last about 90 minutes and will include a 10-15 minute introduction about the purpose of the call and a light presentation of the proposed ratification methodology by an MCDC member, followed by the discussion of open questions.

The organizing team invites everyone interested in joining the calls to sign up by April 16, 2023. Your early sign-up will help us to organize the language support. Language interpretation will be provided if at least 3 (three) people expressed interest to participate in the following languages: Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian and Spanish. Please comment below if you need interpretation support and into what language.

Dates and time

edit

The discussions will be held on Zoom. Links to the meeting will be posted here 48 hours before the meeting. The calls will not be recorded. Participation via video or audio is not required; participants may engage using text chat.
