| Pertanyaan wajib | ||
| Mengapa Anda ingin menjadi bagian dari Dewan Pengawas, Yayasan Wikimedia? Sumbangsih apa yang akan Anda lakukan? Hal apa saja yang ingin Anda pelajari lebih lanjut? | Investasi untuk komunitas merupakan cara terbaik untuk mencapai tujuan kita dan saya ingin bergabung dengan Dewan Pengawas untuk mengembangkan anggaran yang dipergunakan untuk memajukan misi Yayasan Wikimedia melalui pemberdayaan komunitas Sejak tahun 2007, Yayasan Wikimedia telah mengumpulkan US$1.000.000.000, tetapi hanya 10% dari anggaran tahunan ditujukan untuk hibah. Jumlah hibah ini terlalu kecil untuk dipergunakan dalam pengembangan kepemimpinan dan tata kelola komunitas yang memadai.
Pada KTT Wikimedia 2024, organisasi mitra lokal Gerakan Wikimedia memutuskan bahwa dalam Piagam Gerakan dan Dewan Global yang baru akan ada proses pengalihan kekuasaan dari Yayasan Wikimedia ke anggota komunitas. Pengalihan kekuasaan ini mungkin tidak akan terlaksana, tanpa adanya advokasi yang kuat, tetapi saya akan melakukan negosiasi supaya bisa mendapatkan sumber daya yang dibutuhkan komunitas agar proses tersebut berhasil. Upaya yang dilakukan termasuk mempertahankan program komunitas saat ini serta meningkatkan jumlah dana hibah untuk negara-negara berbahasa Spanyol, India, dan Afrika. Sebab, saat ini hanya anggota dari organisasi mitral lokal Wikimedia yang mendapatkan akses ke beberapa hak tata kelola gerakan, maka kita juga harus membuat opsi ikut serta dalam proses tata kelola untuk 99% editor dan pembaca yang tidak memiliki keanggotaan dalam organisasi tersebut. Saya memiliki pengalaman selama 12 tahun dalam program "Residensi Wikimedia", yang merupakan program yang membutuhkan peran profesional dari kontributor Wikimedia. Saya bekerja di Fakultas Ilmu Data, Universitas Virginia dan mereka siap mendukung saya dalam kapasitas sebagai anggota Dewan Pengawas melalui dukungan hukum, akuntansi, etika, dan akademik bidang keahlian tertentu lainnya. | |
| Mohon uraikan pengalaman ke-Wikimedia-an Anda, misalnya sumbangsih pada proyek Wikimedia, keanggotaan dalam organisasi mitra lokal Wikimedia, kegiatan yang dilakukan sebagai penyelenggara kegiatan di Wikimedia, atau keikutsertaan pada organisasi sekutu Gerakan Wikimedia. | *Bertugas sebagai kontributor Wikimedia profesional semenjak 2012, jadi 40 jam di Wiki, setiap minggu dan selama 12 tahun.
| |
| Menurut pandangan Anda, hal-hal apa saja yang harus Yayasan Wikimedia diutamakan selama jangka waktu 5-10 tahun yang akan datang? Mengapa Anda merasa bahwa hal tersebut harus diutamakan? | Kekuatan unik kita adalah tata kelola tidak terpusat yang bersifat urun daya dan kita harus terus mendorong pertumbuhannya.

| 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 Pusat komunitas LGBT (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 Keluar (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 Penelitian klinis (Q5133849), which I still do indirectly in ethics and data curation. From 2012-18 I was Wikimedian at Consumer Reports, which is a nonprofit Perlindungan konsumen (Q664183) organization sharing product safety information in Wikipedia. Since 2018 as a data scientist at my university I do projects to promote sains terbuka (Q309823) and Data terbuka (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 de-escalation (Q1182511) techniques. Many organizations already have developed ways to address conflicts, and I want to bring these practices to Wikimedia. For example, feminist scholar Sara Ahmed (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. | |
