必須回答的問題
您為何競選維基媒體基金會理事會成員？您會為維基媒體基金會理事會貢獻什麼？您想進一步了解什麼？	維基百科的讀者人數成長速度低於網路使用率；編輯數量停滯不前。GenAI 工具正在接管互聯網，而維基百科仍處於 Web 2.0 時代。我們需要集中精力，這樣我們的維基媒體運動2030策略方向就不會變成「到2030年，維基媒體仍然具有相關性」。 我競選維基媒體基金會理事會成員是因為： 由於新的治理結構仍主要處於規劃階段（維基媒體運動憲章/全球議會），維基媒體基金會理事會處於獨特的地位，可以確保維基媒體基金會的優先事項仍然集中在法律和技術上 ；這意味著維基媒體基金會放棄一些現有的專案。 資金充足的當地組織（維基媒體自治體/樞紐）應領導計劃活動並利用其當地專業知識來支持使用者。 我想縮短用戶和維基媒體基金會之間的距離。以用戶的母語與用戶聯繫並避免複雜的公司演講模式至關重要。 我引入了第一代數位世代的視角、主要的維基媒體治理經驗以及與所有希望進一步推進維基媒體使命的人合作的信念。
請描述您的維基媒體經驗（例如：對維基媒體專案的貢獻、維基媒體組織或維基媒體自治體的成員資格、作為維基媒體運動組織者的活動或參與維基媒體運動盟友組織）。	自 2022 年起 – 理事會成員兼秘書 – 維基媒體歐洲分會，一個由 27 個歐洲的維基媒體自治體/組織組成的國際協會（「樞紐」） 2020–2023 – 治理委員會 – 維基媒體波蘭分會 135000 次編輯、2752 個管理員日誌、25000 次 機器人編輯 自2020年起波蘭語維基百科的管理員 已完成100天維基挑戰 全域權限（重新命名者、回退員、翻譯管理員） 小維基監控團隊成員 維基媒體自治體委員會成員(2024–2027) 議程委員會成員 – 維基媒體國際會議2023，新加坡 首席組織者 – 維基媒體國際會議2024，卡托維策，波蘭
從您的角度來看，維基媒體基金會在未來 5-10 年應該優先考慮什麼，為什麼您認為這些是最重要的優先事項？	法律和監管風險——法律的變更和有害的政府行為可能會在很短的時間內關閉維基百科。為了保護我們的專案，維基媒體運動必須增加其公共政策的工作。 技術債務不斷增加——數百名員工和志願者致力於我們的技術工作。數以千計的未維護的軟體程式碼行會危及他們的工作。我們需要進行全面的審查和新的優先事項，以確保我們的用戶不受干擾，並且我們的網站可以容納我們的讀者以及他們不斷變化的知識消費方式。
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.	2020–2023 – Served a record three terms (I, II & III) on the University of Warsaw Spatial Development Committee, overseeing the real estate developments at Poland’s and CEE’s largest university (40k+ students; $500+ mln budget; ~505 mi² real estate) 2020–2023 – Co-led and advised Wikimedia Poland during intensive growth periods (from 3,5 FTEs to a maximum of 11 employees in 24 months) and governance changes.

Please describe your professional career experience.	Since 2023, I have been an expert in the Working Group on AI, IoT, and Disruptive Technologies at the Digital Affairs Ministry (AI, Human Rights and Democracy group). I am the primary author of multiple Wikimedia public policy commentaries/opinions in Poland; affecting the shape of policy at hearings of Parliament committees and ministries. From 2020 to 2022, I worked at the Wikimedia Foundation on the Movement Strategy team. I coordinated the largest plwiki consultations in history, supported the UCOC process (Phase II, Enforcement), and worked on the 2021 and 2022 BoT elections. I organized the largest candidate debate of BoT elections (with over 90 people in attendance). I facilitated Annual Plan conversations with CEE communities (including in person). I have: worked with CEE communities, sometimes as the first WMF staffer to speak with them. cooperated and co-created processes with multiple teams and departments in the WMF, affiliates and educational and cultural NGOs in Poland, giving me a broad overview of the organizational culture. In high school, I co-founded and ran Ludwik Rajchman Foundation, then the largest youth-run NGO in Poland and organizer of the largest youth conference in the CEE, focused on career outreach to young people (2400+ beneficiaries, est. 2,5mln USD in social value generated). For this, I’ve been ranked Forbes 25 Under 25.
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?	In 2022, I led the search for Wikimedia Poland's CEO, which overlapped with major personnel and governance changes (board elections; updated organizational strategy). I remained active for several extra months until the CEO onboarding ended.

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 am the Lead Organizer of Wikimania 2024. Since the beginning, I envisioned this event reflecting CEE cooperation. I have the pleasure of directing an 80+ team from over 20 countries who collaborate to make the best event and celebration for our community. As a Let's Connect member, I led and co-organized international Learning Clinics that brought together volunteers from tens of countries/affiliates.
Can you describe a policy, on wiki or off, that you helped to create or change? What did you learn from this experience?	Elected head of a commission to write the University of Warsaw Code of Ethics. In 6 months, we created a document that, to this day, bounds 40k students and became a guideline for other CEE universities. It was adopted in 2021 and 2023. Summarised discussions and initiated a vote to create arbcom user rights.
How have you been able to empower people to make their voices heard?	I supported minority and historically repressed Wikimedia communities in their efforts to secure Movement funding (e.g. using MSIG Grants). I've translated hundreds of text units on Meta/Translatewiki to ensure a better understanding of global Movement and Strategy-oriented issues for my local community. During the Universal Code of Conduct consultations, I've reached out to a record number of users, including many LGBT+ and non-male participants. I've enshrined the right to self-identification in the UW Code of Conduct (§9-10). I consider this an impressive achievement, given the approach to gender identity and pronouns in Polish society at the time.
Sometimes in professional situations, there are personality conflicts. Explain how you remain productive even with personality conflicts.	As a member of the University of Warsaw’s Disciplinary Committee (term 2020-2024), I am no stranger to interpersonal conflicts. Disagreeing civilly in a group is healthy as long as it leads to productive outcomes. I completed mediation training at the Polish Mediation Center, which I am prepared to use in difficult situations.
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?	I grew up gay in a small Polish town. While geographically in Europe, Poland differs greatly from the West. It is the most homophobic country in the EU. During my adolescence, my homeland had declared over ⅓ of the country an LGBT-free zone. I’ve participated in Pride parades that were met by neo-Nazis, burning tires or throwing stones. I spent my youth witnessing the dismantling of media freedom and democratic institutions in my country. The experience of living in an increasingly autocratic country is super important for a global movement championing open knowledge. Yet, most trustees come from well-established democracies with only a theoretical understanding of censorship and oppression.
