Please check the below list carefully before registering. It provides you with crucial information on the eligibility criteria and status for participating at the Wikimedia Conference as well as to which participant group you belong to. Moreover, it displays the group related travel and accommodation booking process as well as the participant number regulations.
Eligibility criteria and status
editThe eligibility criteria for participating in the Wikimedia Conference 2017 are aligned to the Affiliates’ Agreements with the Wikimedia Foundation.
Chapters, Thematic Organizations and User Groups must have shown signs of recent activity (within the last six months) and be up-to-date on their reporting by the eligibility deadline (December 1, 2016). Moreover, affiliations need to have been officially recognized by the Wikimedia Foundation before March 30, 2016. The columns “Recent activity?”, “Up-to-date on reports?”, “Eligible?”give information about the eligibility status. If you are not yet eligible, we recommend you to catch up with the aforementioned. Whether your affiliation is ready to register, is highlighted in the table below.
Importantly, catching up on your reporting may be as simple as updating your listing and reporting links on the report page. We are watching updates to that page and will be making updates to the eligibility listing accordingly.
Participant groups
editThe organization or committee you represent as well your need for funding, determines to which participant group you belong to and your travel and accommodation process.
- Group 1: Representatives of Chapters, Thematic Organizations and User Groups with a full process annual plan grant (APG). Participants from this group have to arrange and pay for their travel/accommodation by themselves.
- Note that all organizations receiving FDC APG funding will be in Group 1, as those organizations have the option to move funding from other areas of their budget to attend the conference, even if they have not set aside funds specifically for the conference.
- Group 2: Representatives of Chapters, Thematic Organizations and User Groups which do not receive funding via an annual plan grant (APG). This group includes organizations who receive funding through Simple Annual Plan Grants (Simple APG). WMF Travel department will arrange the travel and WMDE will do the hotel booking based on the information provided in the registration form.
- Group 3: Representatives of the committees WMF board, FDC, AffCom or WMF staff. Travel and accommodation for this group will be organized by WMF Travel staff.
- Group 4: Additional representatives from eligible affiliates who would otherwise have only one representative in Berlin, Individual community members who come from underrepresented communities and who have demonstrated project or community leadership, as well as community Stewards, to participate in the strategy track. Travel and accommodation for this group will be organized by WMF Travel staff.
The table below shows to which group your affiliation belongs to. Please make sure to select the appropriate group code according to this overview in the registration form and keep the group related accommodation and travel booking process in mind (column “Travel and hotel booking organized by”).
Participant number regulation
edit- Chapters and Thematic Organizations with full APG funding may send two delegates (board or staff). If they employ at least 0.5 FTE by October 31, 2016, they may send one additional delegate who is a paid staff member.
- Chapters and User Groups may send one delegate. Chapters and User Groups who employ at least 0.5 FTE by October 31, 2016 may send one additional delegate who is a paid staff member.
- Allied organizations may send two delegates.
Affiliates are asked to only send delegates that are well-informed in goings-on at the affiliate, able to confidently answer questions about it and share experience from their group. They should also be empowered to commit their group to involvement in proposed projects or initiatives. We also advise to check the guideline "How to select the delegates" for that purpose.
