| الأسئلة المطلوبة | ||
| لماذا تترشح لمجلس أمناء مؤسسة ويكيميديا؟ بماذا ستساهم؟ ماذا كنت ترغب في معرفة المزيد عنه؟ | الاستثمار في المجتمع هو أفضل وسيلة لتحقيق أهدافنا وأريد الانضمام إلى مجلس الإدارة لتطوير الميزانيات التي تعزز مهمة مؤسسة ويكيميديا من خلال تمكين المجتمع. جمعت مؤسسة ويكيميديا مليون دولار أمريكي منذ عام 2017، ولكن 10% فقط من الميزانية السنويَّة كانت للمنح. هذا المبلغ من المال مُنخفض جدًا بحيث لا يمكن تطوير ما يكفي من القيادة والحوكمة المجتمعيَّة.
في قمة ويكيميديا 2024، قررت الجهات الشقيقة لحركة ويكيميديا أن ميثاق الحركة الجديد والمجلس العالمي سينقلان السلطة من مؤسسة ويكيميديا إلى مجتمع المستخدمين. قد لا تُنقل السلطة بهذا الشكل دون دعمٍ قوي، لكنني سأتفاوض من أجل الموارد التي يحتاجها المجتمع ليكون ناجحًا. ويتضمن هذا دعم البرامج المجتمعية الحالية وزيادة الأموال المخصصة للعالم الناطق بالإسبانيَّة والهند والدول الإفريقية. نظرًا لأنَّ أعضاء مؤسسات ويكي فقط حاليًا هم الذين يمكنهم الوصول إلى بعض حقوق الإدارة، فيجب علينا أيضًا إنشاء خيارات مشاركة الإدارة ل99% من المحررين والقراء الذين ليس لديهم مثل هذه العضوية. لدي 12 عامًا من الخبرة «ويكيميديًا مقيمًا»، وهو دور ويكيميدي مهني. أنا في كلية علوم البيانات في جامعة فيرجينيا، ومؤسستي على استعداد لدعمي ضمن عملي في مجلس الإدارة من خلال الدعم القانوني والمحاسبي والأخلاقي وغير ذلك من الدعم الأكاديمي المُتخصص. | |
| يرجى وصف تجربتك في ويكيميديا (مثل المساهمات في مشاريع ويكيميديا أو العضوية في مؤسسة ويكيميديا أو جهاتها الشقيقة أو الأنشطة منظمًا ضمن حركة ويكيميديا أو المشاركة مع منظمة حليفة لحركة ويكيميديا). | *متواجدٌ كويكيميديٍ مُحترف منذ عام 2012، أي 40 ساعة من الويكي، أسبوعيًا، لمدة 12 عامًا
| |
| من وجهة نظرك، ما هي الأمور التي يجب أن تعطيها مؤسسة ويكيميديا الأولوية على مدى السنوات الخمس إلى العشر القادمة، ولماذا تعتبرها أهم الأولويات؟ | قوتنا الفريدة هي الحكم اللامركزي الذي يعتمد على التعهيد الجماعي، ويجب علينا رعاية نموه.

| Optional questions - Professional Experience, Skills and Education | ||
| Please describe your experience with governing bodies of organizations (nonprofit or for-profit), mentioning the scope of your responsibilities, as well as the complexity of the organization (in terms of scale of operations, budget, number of people involved, or other meaningful measures) and the size of the board or body. | Since I joined the School of Data Science at the University of Virginia, it has grown from 10 to 200 people, with annual budget of $24 million/year. In this startup environment we make all strategic decisions collaboratively, and my own contribution is emphasizing open science.
I have designed budgets and annual reports for Wikimedia New York City, Wikimedia Medicine, and Wikimedia LGBT+, so I understand Wikimedia community governance. Since 2007 I have been on an ethics board reviewing ethics for multinational HIV vaccine clinical trials. Lessons from medical research can inform Wikimedia challenges. The United States government funds this from a US$3 billion budget. I founded an LGBT community center (Q2945640) which hosts concerts. This includes posting artist profiles in Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons to showcase regional culture. Our events have helped 100 people in الإفصاح عن الميول المثلية (Q208099) as LGBT+. | |
| Please describe your professional career experience. | I am a data scientist and principal investigator in multiple research projects.
After university I conducted medical بحث سريري (Q5133849), which I still do indirectly in ethics and data curation. From 2012-18 I was Wikimedian at Consumer Reports, which is a nonprofit قانون حماية المستهلك (Q664183) organization sharing product safety information in Wikipedia. Since 2018 as a data scientist at my university I do projects to promote فتح العلوم (Q309823) and بيانات مفتوحة (Q309901). Partner organizations like these invest money in the Wikimedia platform, and we should seek more. | |
| Please briefly describe 3 situations that show how you tackled, or advised others on, a complex problem in an organization. How did you work with others to address the situations? | .
| |
| Please describe your educational background, including degrees, certificates, and courses of study finished, and their relevance to board work. | My bachelor of science in chemistry led me to medical research, then to ethics, diversity, and openness, and then to Wikimedia medical content. | |
| Please add any relevant links describing your professional background, experience, profile (such as LinkedIn, staff page, etc.). | . | |
| Optional questions - Leadership Experience | ||
| Please describe ways in which you have helped to form a bridge between multiple communities (such as by working on projects outside your home wiki, or working on a collaboration between multiple affiliates). | I edit medical content. During COVID my outreach recruited translators for articles.
On-wiki, I support Wikimedians in applying for Wikimedia grants. My own experience and the gaps in our funding reports have convinced me that many Wikimedians are unable to access money. I feel that financial transparency would increase trust in the Wikimedia grants strategy. As is common among LGBT+ wiki editors, I get harassed. Because my town Charlottesville had a Nazi rally in 2017 and because I live in the United States where shootings are routine, I support increased discussion of disaster response. Development of protection resources for LGBT+ people, women, neurodivergent people, and other vulnerable groups will make Wikimedia safer for everyone. | |
| Can you describe a policy, on wiki or off, that you helped to create or change? What did you learn from this experience? | At my university, I developed my school's open access policy . I learned why people either support or fear openness.
I organized community protests in the controversies over Superprotect, the removal of WMF CEO Lila Tretikov, the rebranding, Can San Fran Ban Fram?, fundraising messages, and others. These are major wiki demonstrations with many petitioners. While protests are helpful, it would better if they were not necessary. I wish to reconcile conflicts with financial transparency and consensus-building. | |
| How have you been able to empower people to make their voices heard? | I empower people to be heard by joining and bringing media to protests, as I just described. | |
| Sometimes in professional situations, there are personality conflicts. Explain how you remain productive even with personality conflicts. | I remain productive by addressing conflicts with خفض التصعيد (Q1182511) techniques. Many organizations already have developed ways to address conflicts, and I want to bring these practices to Wikimedia. For example, feminist scholar سارا أحمد (Q15437208) describes how society systematically dismisses women's complaints, and teaches how to avoid this. | |
| Optional questions - Strategic Thinking | ||
| Where do you see the need for greater diversity in the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees or within the movement? What steps would you take to improve diversity on the Board or within the movement? What steps would you recommend the Board take to improve diversity? | The need for greater diversity is in the Wikimedia Foundation budget. Although our volunteer recognition programs are diverse, our investments are not. More transparency about Wikimedia Foundation budgets and the Wikimedia Endowment would inspire global confidence in our programs. | |
