Beginning work on a Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy + AffCom elections update
editHello all,
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees believes that Wikimedia affiliates are a key and integral part of the Wikimedia movement, and affiliates’ success is vital to the Wikimedia movement’s success. To that end, it is crucial to develop a clear vision regarding the affiliates, making it possible to assess whether the Foundation’s investment in, collaboration with, and policy towards affiliates is promoting the right goals. The Board will be embarking on building a Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy in collaboration with the Affiliations Committee (AffCom), the affiliates, and the broader communities. This strategy will help guide the Foundation’s immediate work in supporting affiliates for the next few years.
In order to ensure that there is continuity and institutional memory during this process, there will be a delay of the elections for AffCom until after the strategy is complete, and the terms of the current AffCom members will be prolonged (in a separate resolution) to December 31, 2023. While the strategy is under development, AffCom will continue its current responsibilities, in addition to collaborating on the Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy.
Once the Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy is ready, there would be clarity on what is expected from the Wikimedia Foundation for supporting affiliates, and what is expected from affiliates.
As the weeks progress in the new calendar year, a plan of the process will be released, including opportunities for communities and affiliates to engage. You can find some FAQs below to assist further understanding of the Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy.
Best regards,
Nat & Shani

Election vs. selection
editHello! This page includes:
...half of the seats are up for election every year.
The last elections took place at the end of 2023...
Presumably this is supposed to be "selection", which is used in the sentence before the first above quote and the sentence after the second. As far as I've been able to find, members of AffCom are not elected.
Can the above-quoted lines be edited to read "selection" rather than "election"? Best regards, Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 15:48, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Vermont: The desire for democracy is strong in the Wikimedia community and the universal wish for positions of power and prestige - especially those which come with travel funding and other valuable compensation - is that they follow an open election process.
- It might have happened in the past that there has been AffCom selection as a practical matter, but the broader wish, expectation, and culture is that election is the norm and anything else is a less desirable deviation.
- I advocate for the community to continue asserting its right to decide these roles by election. Bluerasberry (talk) 20:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
