1. The Wikimedia Foundation should conduct all of its activities with absolute transparency (excluding where this would cause legal/privacy/security issues)

  • AKibombo (talk) 06:17, 3 August 2022 (UTC) I fully agree with this
2. Well over 50 percent of Wikimedia Foundation expenses is spent on salaries in the US; that percentage is too great
3. The Wikimedia Foundation does not spend enough money in countries of the "developing world"

I suggest we channel some of our energies in the developing countries.

4. WMF fundraising is deceptive — it creates a false appearance that the WMF is short of money while it is in fact richer than ever
5. I am uncomfortable with the way the WMF organization has continuously grown its staff headcount and budget and taken on more and more tasks that are not directly related to the Wikimedia projects and the volunteer communities working on them

6. I am uncomfortable with the way the WMF increasingly assigns itself unilateral authority to make decisions about the Wikimedia projects which then affect the community
  • Tgr (talk) 20:25, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
7. I am uncomfortable with the way the Wikimedia Foundation serves the interests of Big Tech (Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft)

Although two hands is better than one but wikimedia is now up to standard that Google and other search engines suppose to serve Wikipedia.

8. The software development should be focused on constant development and core features instead of short projects and new features
  • Tgr (talk) 20:26, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
9. The departures of numerous senior staff members in 2021 indicate a problem at the Wikimedia Foundation
10. Future community seats of the Board of Trustees should be filled purely by a contributor (editor, volunteer developer, and so on) vote on all nominees
  • czar 01:41, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
11. The Election Committee must be made actively accountable to and selected or elected by the community
12. Wikimedia Foundation spending by country must be prominently reported
13. The primary activity of the Wikimedia Foundation should be funding the Wikimedia community's efforts.

  • Tgr (talk) 20:28, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
14. Grantmaking to Wikimedia editors and community affiliates in the Global South should be increased to 5% of gross Wikimedia Foundation annual budget
15. Staff of the Wikimedia Foundation should be totally excluded from organizing the Board of Trustee elections
16. Wikimedia Foundation projects should compete for Movement funds with projects of other Wikimedia organizations (except for keeping the sites up)
  • czar 01:41, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
17. Regional quotas for grants/funding and participation (e.g. to Wikimania) should be removed
18. The represented diversity is more important than individual qualifications of members of the Board of Trustees
  • Tgr (talk) 20:29, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
19. The Wikimedia Foundation should allocate a higher percentage of their resources into tasks related to contributing to the projects
20. The WMF should initiate a participatory budgeting process, in which the editor community participates in the allocation of funds
  • Tgr (talk) 20:29, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
21. The "Global Council", recommended in the Movement Strategy recommendations, will not fulfill the goal of equitable representation in global decision-making
  • Tgr (talk) 20:30, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
22. Regional and Thematic Hubs create more unnecessary hierarchies and complex structures in the Wikimedia Movement
23. The Wikimedia Foundation should provide more technical support to meet the demand of the community
  • Tgr (talk) 20:31, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
24. Had I been a member of the Board of Trustees at that time, I would have voted in favor of the Wikimedia Enterprise project
  • Tgr (talk) 20:31, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
25. The Wikimedia Foundation should allocate additional resources to research, documentation, and advocacy of real-world policy issues that affect Wikimedia users and Wikimedia projects (for example, issues of access and free expression)
  • Tgr (talk) 20:31, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
26. The Universal Code of Conduct is a net positive addition to the Wikimedia movement
  • czar 01:41, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
27. Simplify the Board of Trustees Election Process to keep Community Members interested and engaged
28. The details of the evaluation of each candidate done by the Analysis Committee should be shared with the community
29. The WMF should generally opt for community-vetted ideas, rather than internal ideas, as the basis for its organizational roadmap
  • czar 01:41, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
  • jdx Re: 09:26, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Tgr (talk) 20:32, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
30. The community may recall a selected candidate for any reason
  • czar 01:41, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
31. The WMF should continually seek to reduce, rather than expand, its scope of responsibilities, leaving as much as possible to the community's self-organized capacity
  • czar 01:42, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
32. The WMF should voluntarily recognize a staff union with proof of support from a majority of eligible unit members
  • czar 01:42, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
33. The WMF should get consensus from respective communities before running fundraising banners on their wiki
  • czar 01:42, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
34. Nowadays, it is practically impossible for Wikimedia user groups to be recognized as a Wikimedia chapter
35. Had I been a member of the Board of Trustees in May 2020, I would have voted in favor of the Brand Project Support resolution
