| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | I am a founding member of Wikimedians of the Caribbean User Group, and serve as part of the leadership team. Since the group's formation at WikiConference North America in 2018, I have helped organise and lead our events, including recruiting a noted artist and cultural activist to take part in WikiCari Fest 2020. I have been a staff member (as User:Ian (Wiki Ed)) at the Wiki Education Foundation since 2014 where I have supported tens of thousands of new editors (10–14,000 each year) as they navigate making their first contributions to Wikipedia and using the Wiki Education Dashboard (the 'older sister' of the Programs & Events Dashboard). I co-authored our Wikidata training modules in 2019. I have been an active Wikipedia editor since 2004, an administrator on the English Wikipedia since 2005 where I have contributed Featured Articles, Featured Lists and Good Articles. | |
| 협업 경험 | I work in a very collaborative environment at Wiki Education. We are a small organisation where everyone works closely together to get things done. In our work with university instructors and student editors (our Wikipedia Student Program) I work very closely with colleagues on a daily basis. In my role in our Scholars & Scientists Program where we train faculty and professionals to edit Wikidata and Wikipedia, I collaborate with colleagues to run these course. Our procedures for writing our annual plans, annual reports and strategic plans are collaborative, and I work closely with my colleagues to edit blog posts and other communications and to co-author a chapter in the recent Wikipedia @ 20 book.
Prior to this, I worked for a decade as an instructor in higher education; shepherding classes of undergraduates through semester-long courses, coordinating with other instructors, teaching assistants, and lab prep staff, requires a team that collaborates effectively, week after week. Before that, I worked in environmental consulting. Designing, collecting, and analysing field survey data, and working with my colleagues to get reports written, delivered to clients, and getting revisions done in response to their feedback required considerable collaborative team work. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | I am an active content contributor to the English Wikipedia, our largest and oldest community. While no one person can speak for a community that large and diverse, I can speak from it. As a 17-year contributor and admin, I’m an insider, but as a non-white person, a citizen of the Global South who showed up because I wanted the chance to tell our stories and challenge the top-down process of knowledge creation, I am also an outsider. Having directly supported more new editors than anyone else in the movement, I have a sense of their needs and the issues they experience.
I've chosen to use my social capital to be heard in places where newcomers pushing for equity are likely to either be overwhelmed or ignored. I have pushed back against Wikipedia's colonised bones, and worked to help empower others to work for equity. I have collaborated with people making huge strides to bring historically excluded groups into our mission. The people chosen to draft the Movement Charter should understand the need to balance the interests of the large communities with the needs of the small groups, especially those who have been historically excluded. They must also be willing to listen to what people within the community have to say, understanding that the collective wisdom of the community, there are always better ideas than any individual might bring. I have a sense of the breadth of what exists in our movement. I have worked on large projects like the English Wikipedia, and collaborated to help develop small ones like WikiSpore. I have experience with an organisation with a formal governance structure and paid staff that obtains the majority of its funding from funders outside WMF, and one with a more informal structure run with no budget gives me an understanding of some of the contrasts among affiliates. I am a good writer and a better editor. I am an effective and experienced cross-cultural communicator. I have experience building systems of support that helped Wiki Education go from supporting 2,747 students with two dedicated half-time staffers in Fall of 2014 to supporting 6,820 students in Fall 2020 with one dedicated staffer (me). I have experience with policy development on en.wp; one of my first major forays was an (unsuccessful) attempt to standardise Era notation in 2005. These skills and experiences should help me draft effective and efficient procedures. | |

| 협업 경험 | I was part of the Roles and Responsibilities strategy working group, which developed the idea of a Movement Charter. This was a cross-cultural, multilingual team with a big job to do - just as the Drafting Committee will be. In this situation, I am very aware of my own privilege as a native English speaker, and take care to encourage and support others to express their views as well as contributing. I am also aware of the importance of communicating with project communities. I was one of the few working group members to take part in on-wiki discussions about the draft recommendations.
I was Chair of Wikimedia UK at a time when the Chapter was going through many changes. During my time as Chair we went through a Governance Review and implemented its findings, including making our Board much more diverse and inclusive. This was the first time a Wikimedia organisation had asked for detailed professional scrutiny of its governance. Implementing its findings needed a lot of diplomacy, tact and determination. I have also been involved with dozens of other voluntary groups - from large charities to small volunteer committees, in areas ranging from political campaigning to medical research to the orchestras in which I play the violin. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | As one of the authors of the original recommendations that led to the Movement Charter, I care deeply about making this work. Not just creating the Charter and Global Council, but the other key aspects of the recommendations like setting up regional Hubs and decentralising power to make the Movement more open and participative.
I believe drafting and building acceptance for the Movement Charter will be a significant challenge. I believe the Drafting Group can only be a success if there is a big, open process to reach out to communities and build the Charter on their needs and aspirations. I've set out my views on how this should work at more length here. To make this process work, we need to be clear as early as possible about how communities will be asked for input and how the development / ratification process will work. I have extensive experience of working on movement governance issues - not just in the strategy process. As Chair of Wikimedia UK I helped resolve some significant governance problems in that chapter, and have also been in a participant in many previous rounds of discussions between communities (the Fundraising and Funds Dissemination discussions in 2011-2, Superprotect, FramBan, the many changes at the WMF in the last 10 years). While the Movement Charter looks to the future, I feel I can bring some important 'institutional knowledge' with me. I believe the Movement Charter - and ultimately the Global Council - will play a vital role for our movement in the future. If they work, then this can set the whole Movement going in the right direction. We can start to address long-standing problems of about mistrust and imbalances of power. But this have to be done right. I believe I can help steer this project in the right direction, which is why I'm standing for the committee. If you would like to discuss things then please drop me a line! | |

| 협업 경험 | At Wikimedia UK I usually work across teams to deliver projects - this requires soft influencing skills to reach agreement, negotiate common ground and move projects forward. I collaborate with external teams where Wikimedia UK gives grants to partner organisations, or projects pitched by volunteers. Beyond working with others on the 2030 strategy (see below), earlier this year I was one of 15 people chosen through a competitive application process to work on a collaborative book sprint. I was collaborating with people from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, some experts within narrow technical fields, some academics. The ‘Collective Wisdom’ book, our end product, can be seen at this link. I believe that with my team collaboration approach comes a great dose of humility. I know I don’t have the answers. I believe in putting others in focus and learning from them, especially if their context is different than mine. My commitment to equity steers me to seeking solutions and knowledge within the people I work with and support. In practice that means that when I coach my team members, or facilitate group discussions, my primary belief is that the people I work with may already hold the answers to their challenges. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | I bring a perspective from the organised part of the Wikimedia movement, and a long standing participant of the 2030 strategy process, while holding an open and learning approach.
I have worked in the UK civil society sector for the past 12 years, and for the last 9 I’ve worked at Wikimedia UK, leading on its programmes to deliver ‘free knowledge for all’ and implement the knowledge equity vision. I’ve been a trustee at two charities, currently at Global Dialogue, a European-wide field building network for civil society organisations working on human rights and democratic space. Being a secretariat space for a number of organisations at various stages of development, it gives me insight into a range of governance models, and into legal structures for developing organisations. Global Dialogue also brings a lot of funders in the space, which connects to my practical experience within the 2030 strategy process. Throughout 2018/2019 I was a member of the strategy working group focusing on Resource allocation. We looked into progressive philanthropies, barriers that emerging communities are experiencing in accessing funding. We centered on structures of power and privilege that come with grant-making, and programmatic harms resulting from not addressing them. Accountability to donors is also something we investigated. (I also spent a week with representatives of 8 other thematic groups, taking 90 recommendations total and editing them into a coherent set of global recommendations). A lot of the work done within the Resource Allocation group later informed key principles expressed in the global strategy. However, them being quite abstract and separated from implementation initiatives, I’m concerned that we will not see them realised in action. This would be a big loss, as I think it’s in these principles that we can really envisage a different Wikimedia movement. A Movement Charter is an opportunity to bring that into operation, and I’d hope to help with that. | |

I believe in assuming good faith and giving people the opportunity to learn, grow, and make mistakes regardless of how long they have been contributing, I acknowledge there must be limits on when actions stops being a mistake become pattern characteristic. The Movement Charter must provide a foundation for who we are, what we do, and why we do it. Priorities I see in the charter are for ensuring protection of anonymity, equity in access for everyone through both being able to participate at reasonable local times in what ever language they most comfortable with. Care needs to be taken in nuances of every language and how its translated to ensure that the concepts are presented equally to everyone equity starts with the charters wording must be able to carry the same principles through every translation iteration. | |

| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | I have been involved with the movement since 2006. At the moment I am a Dutch Wikipedia admin, temporary admin on the Papiamentu Wikipedia, admin on Commons, VRTS-agent, CN admin on Meta, and hold some other rights like campaign creator for Commons:Montage campaigns for judging photo competitions. Especially as a CN admin I work in a very language and cultural diverse role, that next to this diversity also asks to keep in mind the position and the world's perception of the WMF in the choices and designs we make for the Wikimedia banners and campaigns. I enjoy this challenging role a lot. In intercultural situations I find it a challenge to seek balance between the person approaching me with a request and the general sentiment and rules on the different projects. I am also involved in Gender Gap, LGBTI+, Accessibility, and GLAM Wikiprojects, both in on- and offline collaborations. | |
| 협업 경험 | Specifically for Strategy I have been involved in many different ways since 2017, sometimes by translating and getting our community to form an opinion on the Strategic Direction 2030 (ex. nl:Wikipedia:Strategie 2030, and by posting about WMF initiatives in our Village Pump, our main channel for internal community communication. I have attended several meetings for the development of the Strategic direction. In the past months I have been involved with the implementation of the new Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) in our Dutch "Beleid Vriendelijk Ruimtes" that the Dutch Chapter (WMNL) uses for their events: the concept is up on the chapters wiki at the moment for community consultation. (Concepttekst nieuw Beleid Vriendelijke Ruimtes) I have organized several events as well, alone or as part of a team, from small meetings in libraries to multi-day and multinational events like the Wiki Techstorm. I had some smaller supporting tasks in several Wikimania's (2018, 2019, 2021). A short (ever incomplete) resume of my wiki activities in the past 15 years can be found, in Dutch, here | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | I would like to help create a Movement Charter that will not be to restrictive to our current communities, but does set a decent base line of what is expected for the different roles and responsibilities we have. Through the years I have learned roles evolve and responsibilities change. I therefore would like the Movement Charter to become a clear charter, but flexible enough to be able to excepting additions and amendments, so it will actually provide a solid foundation for our communities in the years to come, and hopefully beyond. A time-proof charter, so to say. | |

| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | For Wikipedia, I had started Korean Wikipedia in Feb 2005. The whole editing experience was dreadful, including several ‘fights’ and block requests from other 'users' until now. A lot of disagreeing with policies in the KO-WP made me afraid of participating with Korean Wikipedia, and I had to start a new one in 2012, for fulfilling the Sum of the Knowledge. And now, I regard myself as a user of the Korean Wikimedia movement, not about Wikipedias. For the Non-WP experience, I have participated with the first day of Wikimedia (South) Korea and photographed most main events in Wikimedia Korea, which one of them are included in the foundation's press release for the WM-KR recognition. And I have initiated several editathons in the Republic of Korea before the COVID-19. The main project is about the participating researchers on humanities into Korean Wikipedia to enhance articles' qualities. Also, I have participated in the recent global conversations by the Strategy team. In these events, I emphasised the importance of including wikimedians with Disabilities and Wikimedians who are not enabled to speak in English. | |
| 협업 경험 | (Had several projects completed, but not public) For Wikimedia projects, I was an representative for the Wikimedia South Korea before KWA organized, and participated for making Korean Wikimedia Association. I also served one year in the OTRS(2012-2013) for Korean service. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | Current Wikimedia movement has several severe problems. First of all, our projects forgot the way to include users, which enable enhance user diversity. For example, many users with disabilities, especially those with Neurodivergent/autistic traits, usually have negative experiences with their communities, making them stop the editing or block them by the Admins. Their experience never researched or covered any Wikimedia movements. Also, many researchers, which has rich knowledge about their research field, are worth participating in the projects, are unwilling with our projects. We also have a few women editors, which the foundation are endeavour for increasing. The foundation has to find the methodology for including these groups.
Secondly, the methodology that blocks the discriminative attacks, aiming to get out users who have different viewpoints with their groups, should be made. The current 2030 strategy or UCoC policy do not have any mention or procedure of it. For an example of KO-WP and JA-WP(See Wikimania:2021:Submissions by Kitamura Sae), some people are making edits with aggressive speeches or argue they are not ‘logical’ or ‘rational’: for intimidating users in opposition with them. These attritional debates, which cause heartbreak to many users, and weaken the community, should handle in this charter. The charter should be the start point of the change that we need. We have to admit our communities are eliminating the diversity in the community, which are essential to thriving our project. I want to participate in this committee for this purpose, for the Wikimedia projects enable to get the sum of the knowledge from all human beings. | |

| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | I have been actively involved in Wikimedia Foundation projects since 2008. Was the administrator of some small wikiprojects in Russian. But most of the time I worked as a technical specialist in Russian Wikipedia. Recently I have been paying a lot of attention to the development of cool things from the Growth team in the Russian Wikipedia and try to integrate the community more strongly into the global movement. | |
| 협업 경험 | Since 2017, I has been actively involved in promoting technical initiatives, collecting opinions and finding consensus on Russian Wikipedia. I was a member of technical teams, organizer of projects both inside and around Wikipedia. One of the last, just a project about help to beginners, which accumulates work with newcomers and features of the Growth team. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | I love when communities are intertwined. When there is no clear division between English and other Wikipedias. It seems to me that we must move towards globalization towards unification, in terms of information, of all projects. So that the projects of the Wikimedia Foundation become not separate small cells, but really one movement. One movement is not only the people who participate in the projects, but also the information these projects provide to the readers. It should be diverse, standardized and available in all languages of the world, for all cultures. It seems to me that my knowledge of different communities, understanding of how poorly integrated communities work and what they think, will help fix these problems within the framework of the Movement Charter. | |

| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | I started in 2004 as an editor on German Wikipedia. Besides editing I was an administrator, bureaucrat, OTRS agent and more. Early on, I realized that for me there is more to it than writing articles. My participation during the global strategy process in 2010 was the initial spark for my international focus. I joined the Board of Wikimedia Deutschland (WMDE) from 2008 to 2011 and was a member of the Wikimedia Foundation Board from 2012 to 2018.
Currently I am a board member of Wikimedia Deutschland again. During the development of the 2030 strategy recommendations I was a member of the Movement Strategy Working Group Advocacy. I have been following the Movement Strategy closely since then and participated in the global conversations and events to support the process moving ahead. | |
| 협업 경험 | With regards to my Wikimedia experiences, I have worked collaboratively in several processes, like movement roles in 2010-11 or working group (2018-20) or, of course, in different committees during my board tenures. Still, I think we need to be open to experiment with new methods and ideas to bring people, ideas and processes together on the global level to identify what unites us. What is in my comfort zone may not be the best way to do things for others, in other parts of the world and in different cultures. That’s where we all need to be open and not set our own experiences and assumptions as the lone center of wisdom. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | For me the Movement Charter is the essential foundation to make our movement, our efforts for free knowledge and access to free knowledge ready for the future.
I deeply believe that we have to rethink some of the things we never really questioned with consequences. Equity in decision making is what we strive for. What does this mean with regards to the types of organizations we create, their relationship/dependency to the Wikimedia Foundation and among each other, and the roles of the communities in global decision making? We have to step into negotiations and balance out interests, power and rights. The Movement Charter will set the foundation for new structures like the Global Council, which has to bring those interests together again and serves the entire movement. Including contributors and volunteers as well as our organizations and staff. In my understanding, the drafting group is bringing together the necessary research, already done work from the working groups, and effective input from Wikimedians. It’s more conducting than creating. I’m thinking of iterative circles with the community, in small steps, not waiting until everything is in a shape which is hard to change. That may be the most challenging part of the work. But I strongly believe that we have more wisdom in our movement than a group of 20 can have. And we need all of it when we create a common basis for the future. | |

| 서술 (400단어 이내) | Since the feedback from Chinese communities has been ignored for a long time, now it's time to make a move: participating in the draft committee to make some changes. Besides the ignorance; in my Wiki years, I suffers from the insult due to my ethnicity, gender, academic degree, accent and so on, those are definitely something that should not last and let the newcomers suffer like me. Hope I can bring my experience and Wiki expertise, also as diverse voices as possible to the draft committee. I am looking forward to making our future achievement more comprehensive and creating a more diverse, equal, safe and friendly environment for everyone to devote themselves to volunteer work without fears. | |

| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | I contribute to several Wikimedia projects, maily zh.wikipedia. I'm proud to be one of few editors in zh.wikipedia who keeps writing articles on their own instead of translating from other projects without checking references. I review articles and call on the community to realize the seriousness and importance of revewing, which was the main reason I recieved the Awards for Professionalism of Instruction. I try my best to help newbies (to some extent, we're all newbies), online and offline. I visted meetups held in various cities of Mainland China and Taiwan to learn experiences, and now I hold meetups in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Also, as a PhD candidate in sociology, I study zh.wikipedia (nationlism, colonialism, gender issues, bureaucracy, knowledge as power, and the wall between veterans and newbies / editors and readers) and published a paper on Taiwan Sociology Association Meeting of 2019. | |

But I just changed my idea, realising that there are thousands of people around the world keeping writing articles, spreading free knowledge, and not caring Wikimedia politics at all, just like me. They may not care, but should be cared. So here I am. My objective is to represent the idea of decentralization. There're flowers in my home, just beside my computer. I grow flowers, or flowers grow?

Therefore, the need for available people with knowledge of the movement is paramount. As for myself, in regards to the experiences acquired in my country and also the skills gained as an active member in the realization of the work on the Wikimedia 2030 strategy carried out in Côte d'Ivoire, I volunteer to the realization of the drafting of the Wikimedia Movement Charter. | |

My objective as a candidate for the Movement Charter Drafting Committee is to represent that practical idea of an electronic community of communities that maintain and build free knowledge. The Wikimedia communities should be self-governing, and should govern rather than be governed by the Wikimedia Foundation. The Movement Charter Drafting Committee should draft an overall charter for a community of editors of multiple electronic libraries, rather than of any sort of movement for social change. The Charter Drafting Committee should focus on the quality of the electronic libraries that the communities are maintaining, not any other social objective, and should write a charter that provides full self-government, with minimal involvement by the Foundation. | |

| 서술 (400단어 이내) | I have been a part of Wikimedia for way too long. I remember when Wikipedia was a radical experiment that no one took seriously. We proceeded anyway. Fast forward twenty years and Wikipedia is now looked upon as one of the last bastions of reliable nonpartisan information. I consider this to be a massive failure of the part of our society to take this kind of work seriously as a priority, but also a testament to the strength and resilience of Wikimedia's movement. One that is built organically around a common belief around the importance of sharing information. One where you do not need to formally join an association in order to participate.
With the movement charter we are presented a challenge to develop a governance framework for the Wikimedia movement. A decentralized movement which has, historically, resisted most forms of consolidation and imposition of hierarchy. This is a feature of our movement, not a flaw. But without a formally recognized institution like the Global Council, we are left with various scattered power structures that favor the well-organized and well-resourced. In practice this leaves volunteers feeling like they have no control over what the Wikimedia Foundation does even as the Foundation spends millions of dollars improving its community relations. The system may somewhat work but the belief will persist that it doesn’t. If the movement charter drafting committee is successful, it will create a new polity that has been sorely missing: the organized counter-voice to the Wikimedia Foundation. Even with the best intentions, the current arrangement, with a few large organizations and many poorly organized volunteer communities, will inevitably produce conflict. There are sincere disagreements over what should be prioritized and why, and given how spending power is allocated, people will perceive the process to be unfair. And I honestly don’t think corporate hierarchies like the Foundation’s scale well to movements like ours; this is reflected in the velocity at which the Wikimedia Foundation makes improvements to the projects. I consider these the top three priorities for the movement charter:

As a community coordinator and organizer, I represented and served as a presenter at the Philippine WikiConference (2012-2013). Currently, I am the Board Treasurer and the committee chair in GLAM and Education. Prior to this, I have served as a community coordinator (2012-15; 2015-2017), and chairman/president of PhilWiki Community (2018-2020).
As a project lead, I implemented different campaigns including WikiGap Campaign in the Philippines (2019-2020), Wiki Loves Monuments in the Philippines (2018-2020), Wiki Takes the City (2012 and 2015/16), and the Community celebration of the 20th year of Wikipedia (2020) in Naga City, and Bikol Wikipedia's 1st (2008), 5th (2012), 10th (2017) and 13th year (2020). In the advocacy campaign, I was invited and talked in various fora promoting the activities of the organization and answering relevant issues related to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement. Among these engagements are: at the Bicol Region Librarians Council (BRLC)'s Regional Conference on Reinventing Library Management in the 21st Century (2012), Boses ni Lolo guest Wikipedian on DWRN 657khz (2015) and DWRJ 96.1 (2016), Ini An Totoo DWOK 97.5 TV program on the Mother Tongue-based Multilingual Education policy under the K-12 Curriculum of the Department of Education (DepEd) and Wikimedia Movement (2019), Language Month episode of Abogado Juan "Hapot mo, Simbag ko" on Home Radio 95.1 (2020), WikiGAP: Closing the Digital Gender Gap discussion sponsored by Developh Community (2021), and Wiki Loves Earth and Wikimedia Commons Workshop at the Pagkarahay Art Festival (2021).

| 서술 (400단어 이내) | My personal background is different from that of a lot of other candidates. I have always seen myself as primarily an editor with an interest in the global organizational aspects of the Wikimedia movement, rather than a member of any particular group. I’ve been a Wikimedian for over 16 years, and have a very broad range of experience at both the local and global levels. I’m familiar with a lot of the history that has had an impact on how the movement has developed over the years, and a good understanding of the sensitivities of different sections of the movement.
My current and past movement activities have reinforced to me the necessity of co-operation, collaboration, and compromise in order to meet broader goals. I recognize that it will not be possible for this drafting committee to meet all of the expectations of all of its members, let alone all of the expectations of every member of the movement; however, I believe that by working together we can achieve a balance that will gain acceptance from our broad global community. I firmly believe that the individual projects – the Wikipedias, Commons, WIkidata, Wikisource, and the many other “sister” projects – are the centerpiece of the movement, and the movement infrastructure must be designed to help these projects to grow and develop in a healthy way. I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of any Wikimedia affiliate organization; nonetheless, my work on the FDC and the 2030 strategy project has inculcated a deep and abiding respect for these organizations and their value to the movement as a whole, as they are important aspects of the project support infrastructure. | |

At various times, I have participated in activities that the teams or the Product department have undertaken for product initiatives. | |
| 협업 경험 | I have been part of open source communities since 2000, and participated in various roles that directly impacted the project’s objective and growth. My primary contributions have been in localization of open source software at a time when internationalization support for Indic languages was at a formative stage.
It was a challenging frontier that provided me the opportunity to understand how software development practices could be optimized towards equitable adoption beyond socio-political and linguistic boundaries. This required continuous collaboration with a globally spread community of volunteers, organizations, policymakers, corporates, and governments. I have participated both in an individual and organizational capacity in such efforts primarily as part of the Fedora, Mozilla, GNOME, KDE, and Ankur Bangla (formerly Bengalinux) communities. Since 2013, I have been part of the WMF’s Language team, with whom I had earlier collaborated in my other roles, and have been closely associated with language support efforts within the Wikimedia movement. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | I believe that the strength of any movement can be determined by how well it can anticipate its preparations for the future. A movement as vast and global as the Wikimedia movement is an ever growing space and will continue to diversify in ways we may not even be able to imagine in the present. What we do know is that the movement has a mission and we can take consistent steps towards its success. Within the Wikimedia Movement, we have regularly acknowledged the need to bridge gaps of content and participation that currently exist. Big and small efforts have been conducted at various times. Having had the opportunity to closely observe some of these activities, my understanding has been that the success that we achieve through these efforts happens through sheer grit and perseverance of the individuals involved. Our systems and structures could have supported them better if there was more clarity on how we can conduct our everyday work through well established processes, and how we can bring in change to meet new challenges. As part of the drafting committee for the Movement Charter, I would like to keep our focus on a healthy combination of globally shared standard practices, and flexibility so that the guidance provided through the Charter allows a sense of stability to movement participants at all levels, and retains scope for continuous improvements as we work towards the 2030 vision. | |

| 서술 (400단어 이내) | I have lofty and noble professional dreams of helping as many vulnerable people as I can to be safe and happy. As a graduate student, I will aim to master the gambit of strategies that are most effective at promoting progressive social change. Being a caring person is intrinsic to social work, along with the drive and high motivation to challenge clients to realize their full potential. Social workers must honor the individuality of each client and empower them to move forward and achieve improvement. The fullest respect of client dignity helps to foster a sense of worth leading towards self-realization and -determination, and helps to produce participatory citizens rather than burdens to the system. The fight against social injustice is intrinsic to social work as I see it, in addition to advocacy, always with an eye on achieving the best outcomes for one’s clients. I personally feel strongly that serving as a voice for the oppressed should come naturally for social workers as they fight for justice and progressive change in their communities. While working with individual clients in the micro setting is my primary and immediate goal, I think it is complimentary to never lose sight of the broader picture and the way in which our own efforts are part of a larger movement towards greater levels of equality and dignity in our society. | |

I have organized and led several Wikimedia projects in the last few years. I support all communities, mostly indigenous languages. I have organized with my group several Wikimedia contests. I presented several projects at several conferences around the world about Wikimedia, in 2018 I did a small presentation about the Wikimedia movement at a UNESCO event in Tunis.
I speak French, Arabic, Russian, Tacawit, and work in English.

As an active member of the community at the international level, and with my personal experience, I know that we can do better. many affiliates cannot receive grants to meet their needs and struggle day and night to exist. The big challenge will be to find a solution to help all volunteers to do their work promoting our movement, especially where access to our resources is difficult. More diversity in the movement, we always say that we have a diverse movement, but in fact, we still have to work on it, especially on gender and minority groups. My biggest dream is for our movement to live in non-politics so that all peoples, countries, genders, cultures, religions live with the sole purpose of promoting free knowledge. | |

The movement strategy is a bold attempt to achieve that, and I'd like to do what I can to help it move forward.

| 서술 (400단어 이내) | Fear, uncertainty and doubt is born out of ignorance. To combat the increasing tribalism and hostility, we must hold dear the values every one of us believe in, all human knowledge must be free and accessible. Wikimedia is not doing nearly enough. Our movement is crucial, a comprehensive un-biased repository of information is essential to combat hate and promote global understanding. Mutual understanding between different people is the cornerstone of a safer, and more sustainable world. We must do more.
I dreamed of a world that belongs to everyone, where every one of us could be anywhere, love anyone, and fear nothing. It would not be possible without increased understanding, without free, accessible knowledge. and I sincerely hope Wikimedia can play a more significant role in combating knowledge inequality worldwide. I hope that Wikimedia would place more value in non-English contributions and provide much more support to non-English contributors. It's never going to be an easy job, but that's what we set out to do. I hope that all of our projects could provide an easier channel for potential editors who are simply not so well-versed in English communication. I hope that many of the disappearing cultural traditions could find their place here, even though our children and children's children will grow up following the brand new traditions of some hyper digitalized world with facebook, twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, crypto, NFT, and a lot more to come. They can at least read about the ways we have lived. I hope that we could one day, realize the dream that Babylon never managed to achieve, where Wikimedia projects will be the lighthouse that stand for our generation and the many generations to come. Our work is important, and more must be done. P. S.: I did not think about running initially, but seeing the enthusiasm from the encouraging emails and messages, I feel obliged to at least try. I'm inclined to use a new account since I believe that is the best way for me to contribute onward. Email me if you have any thoughts. | |

| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | I am an administrator on several projects, and an interface admin on English Wiktionary. I've done a reasonably large amount of policy writing on multiple projects, wrote a lot of gadgets and user scripts (some examples include TabbedLanguages on Wiktionary, ReferenceTooltips for Wikipedia, the WikidataInfo.js script for Wikidata, and the SignWriting Keyboard for Sign language projects), worked on Wikidata ontology structuring, and have done a moderate amount of work on content.
I spend far too much time following things on Meta and elsewhere, so I'm fairly familiar with how the various movement structures and systems work. (I've also been writing "fantasy Wikimedia charters" on my own for ~5 years, which ought to count for something. :) ) | |
| 협업 경험 | I'll be blunt: My relevant team collaboration experience is much less than many other candidates. I've never worked as part of any affiliate organization, nor any on-wiki committee, nor any strategy working group. Additionally, both my technical and policy-writing activities have been less "team-based" than is typical. That said, all Wikimedia activities are pretty inherently collaborative, and if anything is going to be a skill that we've almost all necessarily gotten good at, it's good-faith collaboration in writing something together. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | A major goal of the Charter is to "clearly define roles and responsibilities", set boundaries, and define what we're doing and how we do it. It is essential for the future functioning of the projects and supporting organizations, that we create ironclad safeguards against overreach by our institutions, firmly anchor long-standing principles and goals, and establish a solid and effective framework for how the various high-level processes and parts of Wikimedia interact with each other.
The new framework should unambiguously specify responsibilities and authorities, minimize conflict, and allow everyone to get on with their work. The Charter should organize structures to enable projects and groups to receive needed support, while protecting them from inappropriate interference. As expressed in the Strategy Recommendations, all of Wikimedia's supporting organizations should be bound by enforceable basic requirements, and certain structures should be distributed and decentralized. I would like the creation of the Charter to be an open and participatory process, involving many volunteers directly editing numerous Charter drafts around Wikimedia, moving forward in a wiki-style manner, our many communities and groups cross-pollinating texts and ideas and arguments and points of discussion, and gradually converging towards coherent results with the assistance of the drafting committee. Whatever the method, the final outcome must be subject to community-wide ratification. Wikimedia is built by the volunteer community; it is the community that must decide whether to go forward with the Charter. | |

Wikimedia should enable everyone to easily contribute from smartphones and preferred devices (The desktop, IMHO, has a gender/demography bias). I have always strived to remove barriers to free knowledge and reduce the learning curve needed to participate and contribute. Those who like to add knowledge should be able to do so without spending time familiarizing stuffs. Things should be designed intuitively.

| |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | The drafting committee will have to ensure that the whole process respects the recommendations from the Wikimedia 2030 strategy. The recommendations are to explore and set-up how we can move from a centralized movement to a decentralized and truly global movement. That move will require all of us to be able to have all the discussions that we need to have and never hide behind how the way are today, but find solutions to design what we need to become. In that endeavor, I did show across my Wikimedian life that I have no problem challenging the status quo to improve the movement.
To me, the main role of the drafting committee will be to structure the work to allow for community collaboration all across the writing process and not just at the end for the ratification. On top of that, to also ensure we don’t take the easy path to conserve things as they are but that everything we keep as it is today is kept that way because it actually contribute to the movement being global and decentralized. As for my vision, I do strongly believe that we should be having those discussions very directly and not shy away to open tough discussions and options. And have them by always trying to find ways to apply a subsidiarity principles. The discussion we are about to address are key, important and sometime very emotional topics. Through the different hats I wore (editor, chapter chair, Wikimedia Foundation chair) and my professional curriculum (which has been about governance and running organizations for almost ten years and the last two in the size range of the Foundation staff-wise) I believe I also will be able to bring not only experience or knowledge, but also perspectives. As I have sat at the different side of the table I can empathize with the different stakeholders of that discussion. Finally, the charter will become our guiding document to ensure we have shared alignment on where we go, trust and empowerment in the institutions and processes so that we can focus on making the world a better place and not on “how do we disseminate funds?”. | |

| 서술 (400단어 이내) | This is the time to define what we want to be as a movement from now on. This is the major goal we have set to ourselves for ensuring equity in decision-making. To move forward, we need to define a common ground of principles and practices for decision-making, and develop mechanisms for equitable global representation and meaningful, empowering participation of local communities. As a participatory, community-oriented process, the Movement Chart will embody the Wikimedia spirit and provide a necessary framework for the Wikimedia Movement.
We need to learn from what we have achieved and envision together the future we want to live in. For instance, roles and responsibilities need to be clearly laid out, as transparency is key for our movement procedures and deliberations. Coming from an underrepresented community, I know procedures and deliberations must be empowering and structured in a way that contributes to mitigating unequal capacities to participate in the open knowledge ecosystem. The success of the Movement Charter --an embodiment of the Wikimedia 2030 strategy process discussions and practices-- is dependent on our capacity to deeply engage our diverse communities in the drafting process. This founding document will not succeed by the relevance of its content and commitment of its initial drafters only; it must be a collaboration across stakeholders, that is, it must be done the wiki way. | |

* Proud part of international community thanks to the WMCEE, public speeches, grants comm, collaborations among affiliates incl. capacity building, and more. Twice elected to the FDC, also member of the Resource Allocation Wikimedia strategy working group. | |
| 협업 경험 | Diverse, mission-oriented and driven by passion teams are the crucial part of the Wikimedia Movement. Be it Wikipedia or Wikimedia projects and programmes, I find starting/joining and further developing a spirited team representing various skills and perspectives as a highly rewarding and effective way to achieve our goal: equitable, quality, developed together knowledge. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | Wikimedia are the most successful novel knowledge institution and the distributed organization in the world. 8 billion people need us: both as an access to convenient, free, structured arts and information - but also as an empowerment to create, edit and self-govern. After 20 years, we need to ensure our achievements will be constantly improved and passed to further audiences and generations. While we reinvent ourselves to serve the world better, we should build on the sources of our greatness and uniqueness, and fill in large gaps which we still have.
I believe in empowered individuals and their associations, in the wisdom flowing from their diversity, and the motivation stemming from the equitable treatment. I also believe in the diversity of the approaches and organizations, empowerment of affiliates, in their equity and adaptability to local contexts and future needs. Wikipedia taught us that self-governance, grassroot and partnership prevailed over centralization and strict hierarchies; similar lessons come from great initiatives of the individuals, groups, chapters and the teams of the WMF. By 2030, we need to be less centralized and more attentive to local ideas, opportunities and needs. We need to operate as a much wider graph of successful organizations, developing and testing new ways to serve the needs of their audiences. We need to create a better space for collaboration and invention, for leadership and learning, for Wikimedians from the past, and the Wikimedians of the future. I believe, that both my Wikimedia experience of an editor, affiliate person and grant assessor, as well as my education and professional experience (economics/psychology/MBA working in risk/finance) help me to recognize the needs of particular community members, bring valuable perspective and help coin the great charter. | |

| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | I started contributing to Wikipedia in 2006, when Wikipedia was an early example of a Web 2.0 site. Wikipedia brings together a large number of people from different backgrounds to write articles on the scope of human knowledge that is less included in encyclopedias and textbooks. This open knowledge project has encouraged people like me to participate more deeply.. In 2010, I started to participate in community activities in Taipei, and held a few quarterly gatherings to promote the revival of the formerly inactive local chapter of Wikimedia Taiwan. For people who know the story of the Taiwanese Wikimedia community, they know that Wikimedia Taiwan was successfully revived particularly due to the Taiwanese aborigines which belong to the Austronesian languages group. We assist them in bringing the incubator to an official Wikipedia site. | |
| 협업 경험 | I am the board member of Wikimedia Taiwan and served as the board supervisor. I co-organized a program track at the COSCUP, which is a large open source conference in Taiwan,.together with Wikidata and OpenStreetMap. About the community, I mainly organize the OpenStreetMap x Wikidata monthly gathering in Taipei. OpenStreetMap and the Wikidata Taiwan community participate in the local promotion and data maintenance of these two projects. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | Although speaking Austronesian languages in Taiwan will have a better international recognition, because according to scholars, Taiwan is considered to be the birthplace of the Austronesian languages. However, it is still not widely recognized that there is not only Taiwanese Chinese in Taiwan, but also other Chinese languages, such as Taiwanese and Hakka. Through the Movement Charter, I hope to preserve the underrepresented languages in Taiwan and other minority languages that need to be protected, And to preserve the digital world through an international Wikimedia Movement. | |

| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | After a false start back in 2012 I fell into the rabbit hole in 2018 and have been active since. One of my most active fields is as an OTRS (now VRT) response agent, primarily working with those with absolutely no Wikimedia experience, aiding in navigating what can be a distinctly byzantine process. I also became an en-wiki admin in 2019, which was also around the time that I became highly active in the Strategy side of the movement. This has run from participation in every phase of almost every recommendation, the prioritisation discussions, the UCOC, and every discussion we've had to implement the 2030 strategy. This included helping craft the compromise selection method for the MCDC. | |
| 협업 경험 | The bulk of my career has been as a Strategy Analyst for a multi-national - a small team with a primary remit for acquiring the different views and priorities of a dozen different business units, and then drafting a viable strategy that can be lived with by everyone. | |

This is a crucial process, but critically we need to make it as little about the specific drafters and as much about the Community's viewpoints (stressing the plural). We shouldn't be attempting to drive through a controversial position with 51% support, and I would not. I am a strong supporter of "subsidiarity" - that is, anything that can be done at the broadest level (the local communities and the meta-community), should be.
Finally, I'm open to functionally any level of questions. If there ends up a cap on the formal process, ask on my talk page | |

| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | I am a member of the Polish Wikimedia Association and consider myself a member of the Wikimedia Movement, although I am not an active editor. My main affiliation in the broader free knowledge movement is with Creative Commons: I co-founded the Polish chapter in 2005, co-chaired the CC Network strategy process review, and am currently on the CC Board of Directors and the CC Network Executive Committee. Since 2018, I have participated in the Movement Strategy process, and in 2018-2019 I was a member of the Partnerships Working Group. I deeply believe that the Wikimedia Movement Strategy requires the participation of partners from the broader open / free knowledge movement - so I also try to personally engage as much as possible.
Furthermore, my main job is as Strategy Director of Open Future Foundation, a think tank for the open movement. Previously, I have led for a decade Centrum Cyfrowe, a Polish open think-and-do-tank, and I have been for many years a member of Communia, the Association for the Digital Domain. Through these work engagements I have been focused on advocacy and policymaking in support of the commons, which I see as a contribution to the Wikimedia movement - by making sure that the policy and regulatory environment in Europe and globally is favorable to Wikimedia, its creators and users. | |
| 협업 경험 | I have extensive experience in strategy building, also as a collaborative process. In the years 2008-2011 I worked on a team inside the Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland, which led the work on Poland's national long term strategy, "Poland 2030". Afterwards, I have been involved in multiple strategic exercises, including Polish Strategy for Digital Skills, strategic organizing of the Open Education movement (including the "Cape Town Open Education Declaration + 10 years" process), the Creative Commons Network Strategy process (which I co-chaired) and the Wikimedia Movement Strategy Partnerships Working Group (mentioned above). I also have experience in participatory workshop design and facilitation, and I am an alumnus of the Leadership Academy for Poland, an adaptive leadership program with a strong soft skills / team collaboration component. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | I believe that Wikimedia is the most important free knowledge / open movement effort, and also a unique service on the internet. It is more than just an encyclopedia with associated free knowledge services - it is also a service that is unique in respecting user rights (in today's toxic online environment) and a community which is one of prime examples of peer production.
For this reason, I want to be involved in the Movement Charter process, which I hope will allow the Wikimedia Movement to further grow and be able to fulfill the goals of the 2030 Movement Strategy. I believe that the Charter will be a key element of the next phase in Wikimedia's history, where it's institutions are thoughtfully redesigned in light of strategic goals, needs of the movement and the broader free knowledge environment, which Wikimedia aims to support. I hope that my extensive experience with strategic work - both at the level of strategy design and at the level of practical team cooperation skills - will be useful in this process. I also want to bring the perspective of a partner movement (Creative Commons), as well as experiences we have with network governance (in which I am actively involved). Finally, I believe that the Movement Charter process should be highly participatory, and that the Drafting Committee should create a methodology and use tools that will enable broad participation of other movement members in the process. I hope to steer the Movement Charter drafting process in the direction of greatest possible participation. There are interesting methodologies that we can employ, so that the Wikimedia Movement does state of the art peer-to-peer work also in this regard. | |

| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | I joined the Wikimedia Foundation in September 2013, allowing me to connect with the Movement across several forums and geographies in many opportunities. In my role with the Foundation's Partnerships Team (initially with a focus in Latin America, and now leading the Regional Managers team for almost 5 years), I've had the opportunity to meet and work with Affiliates and movement leaders globally, and better understand more particularly the needs of those outside of the United States and Europe.
I have been actively involved in the Movement Strategy process since it started, from the New Voices Research in 2017 that led to the Strategic Direction, to co-charing the Diversity Working Group in 2018-19. | |
| 협업 경험 | Collaboration is in my DNA. As a Sr. Partnerships Manager, working successfully with others is essential to my team's goals and success. Impactful partnerships (within or outside the Wikimedia movement) always require team collaboration. I collaborate with other WMF teams constantly, engaging with people across themes and areas of work.
Leading Regional Partnerships also means closely collaborating with a range of actors, from UN agencies, tech companies, other non-profits, governments, and multilateral agencies. This work has also allowed me to partner with Wikimedia affiliates and movement leaders globally, building bridges between the movement and different partners with the goal of furthering our mission and making Wikimedia a well-known, diverse, and relevant space on the Internet. The 8+ years of tenure serving the Wikimedia movement also trained me well in what cross-cultural collaboration truly means, leading with empathy and understanding of cultural differences, navigating diverse personal and professional approaches towards problem-solving, multiple time zones, and across geographies. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | Being an active participant and leader in the Movement Strategy process helped me to really understand the big importance the Movement Charter will have for the future of our Movement. I'm excited to take this work into tangible and needed actions towards our mission. Although not an active on-wiki contributor, I'm a Wikimedian at heart in a variety of ways, truly understanding the needs, gaps, strengths, and flaws of our movement, and more particularly, in underrepresented parts of the world whose voice is not present in our projects.
While participating in the Movement I've seen first hand the unfortunate bias Wikimedia (and the Internet) has towards US/Europe and English language centrism. During my time with Wikimedia, it became evident that as a social movement we need to strongly address the multiple blockers that exist to really allow our vision statement to become a reality. The Movement Charter will be instrumental in this goal. Trained initially with a legal background that transitioned in my last 7 years of experience to partnerships and business development, I also think I have the skills to be part of a drafting committee of a document such as this Charter, as I can bring the voices and ideas of others and my own into text that's understandable and clear. The Movement Charter needs to be a strong foundation towards that goal, and I strongly believe my professional and personal experience gives me the skills and tools required to be a part of the Drafting Committee, and represent both my professional side as a WMF staffer, as well as my personal interests and motivations in the Wikimedia movement. | |

| 서술 (400단어 이내) | Imagine a world in which all editors of Wikimedia projects are happy, and have found balance in their lives. The reality here and now is different. You are addicted to editing one or more of the Wikimedia projects. It's not your fault nor are you to blame that you're addicted: it's quieting the pain of a childhood trauma.
The Wikimedia Foundation shamelessly exploits the fruits of your unpaid volunteerism. You put so much time into it that it comes at the expense of caring for your family, your friends, your job or your school. In case you are financially independent or retired, you are free to spend all your time as you wish - if you do not forget to drink, eat and sleep on time. As long as you are not yet financially independent, you could expect the Wikimedia movement to look after you and provide guidance and support where you need it most. The Charter for the Wikimedia Movement is the place to establish the rights of unpaid volunteers. I want to work to ensure that locally, in all countries, there is professional support for local volunteers in their own language, which meets the local needs of those volunteers. This includes translation to (and from) local languages of (news) reports about the Wikimedia projects, localization of templates and gadgets, organization of community activities, and what you need to become happy, and find balance in your life. My intention is to contribute to the drafting of a text that will be endorsed by the communities. This, I believe, will need to be an iterative process of community consultation. The committee will produce texts in several rounds and gather feedback from the communities - and other stakeholders. I will work to ensure that it will be an open consultation process based on making consent decisions. In the feedback rounds, anyone may object to parts of the text. For the Charter to eventually be ratified, the committee must have resolved any insurmountable objections before anyone is asked to ratify the text. | |

What will happen in the future depends on today's actions and not only actions with short term effects or just looking at oneself and one’s actions.

I became keenly interested with wikipedia more especially after attending the Wikimania 2021 for the first time and getting to meet hundreds of different people from round the world with different lifestyle and backgrounds working collaboratively in love and harmony.

This has also parlayed into activities outside the Philippines, such as building the Cite Unseen bias checker tool. * Giving at least three editing workshops to members and non-members of WikiProject Never Again, and have played an active role in supervising our growing number of Wikipedians-to-be to ensure that they are properly editing Wikipedia while also preserving the accuracy, neutrality and rigor of our articles on Philippine history and politics, both in Tagalog/Filipino and English. I was also instrumental in developing Southeast Asia's first Wikipedian in Residence program at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani. I have also spoken at various conferences and fora, internal and external, about the Filipino Wikimedia community and the Wikimedia projects, including at Wikimania, the Wikimedia Hackathon, Open Source Bridge, AlterConf, CredCon and FOSSASIA. My work in the movement has also been covered by both the local and international press, with mentions in The Guardian, FHM, CNN and Scout Magazine, among others. Aside from my work in the Philippines, I am actively involved in the activities of the Wikimedians of Los Angeles user group, as I currently live in Los Angeles. As part of that group, we're working to grow the community while pursuing impactful events and outreach in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California. | |
| 협업 경험 | I have made community and collaboration the center of my volunteer work and my professional career over the last sixteen years. Many of the activities we've done in the Philippines were inherently collaborative in nature. For example, our work with WikiProject Never Again was only made possible with the complex work of bringing Wikimedians, external partners, volunteers and interested persons together to build a lasting project. Having worked as well in the movement for as long as I have, both in building things like Cite Unseen and the ESEAP Hub, and in working with the Affiliations Committee, I have come to have a deep respect for the need to have everything built collaboratively, in pairs or large groups, whether it be working on solutions to the hardest issues of our time or just finding easier ways for people to communicate and share knowledge.
These lessons on collaboration that were gleaned through the Wikimedian experience were also instrumental in my professional life. Working for DeviantArt, I've come to use what I've learned in the movement to help develop the kinds of activities we should do for our users, or to help inform major decisions that we should make in terms of how we ought to approach the site's development. Working with a team of eight other people, we've had several successes in terms of contests and other community campaigns that we've run on-site, with this extending to external partnerships as well that have led to successes like our campaign on mental health awarness, our annual Holiday Card Project, and more recently our endeavors to celebrate our global diversity through thoughtfully-executed campaigns that showcase our shared common heritage. I strongly believe that when it comes to collaboration, it is important to be able to both talk and to likewise be a quiet observer when the time calls for it. Although I've become more quiet in the movement over the last few years, ultimately collaboration requires giving way. Participating in community discussions across three continents (in Asia, Europe and North America), both online and offline and in formal and informal settings, is part and parcel of that experience. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | The Wikimedia movement deserves, more than ever, to have a definitive statement of our values. I have advocated for much of my time as a Wikimedian a movement-wide document that encapsulates what we stand for, and now that we're at the cusp of having a Movement Charter, I strongly believe we need to have people who have broad-based, deeply-informed and well-grounded experience in working with communities, partners and individuals to best encapsulate what it is we hold dear.
I don't take the work of the Drafting Committee lightly, and I intend to ensure that Wikimedians will be more than adequately represented as we finally put to paper what it is we stand for. I look forward to bringing the lessons I've learned from both the movement and outside it, coupled with my own life experience as someone who has worked with and is familiar with the Wikimedia movement on three continents, to the table: a table that we need to be as representative as possible of our movement's diversity, experience and expertise. More than ever, it's important that the ones who will set up our movement for success, first with the Movement Charter and then the Global Council, be from a broad base of our community, able to interact with as many people as possible and capable of representing the broadest of opinions in as concise a manner. I look forward to helping steer the important work of this Committee to help us move forward as a movement towards a more balanced, just and representative future: one where everyone, no matter where they're from or what languages they speak or what projects they serve, are adequately represented. The work won't be easy, but I look forward to committing to it should I be called to serve. On a parting note, please feel free to leave me a message should you have any questions or concerns, and thank you so much for your time. | |

| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | I've been active in the community movement since 2004, and have served as an administrator on English Wikipedia and Meta-Wiki, and formerly on Commons as well. My first editing area was WikiProject New York City, which I started, and my very first article was U Thant Island, about an obscure little urban island with a fascinating history. I have tried to balance the local and the global, in both my editing and in my community organizing.
I have been active in the following organized groups, among others:
I also started these Commons and GLAM initiatives:
In response to last year's branding controversy, I and others helped organize these strategic initiatives:
| |
| 협업 경험 | Wikimedia is a deeply team-based movement, and my efforts have not been as an individual, but always in concert with and learning from others.
I have helped bring together individuals and communities, and have assisting in convening many meetings, both project-based and geography-based (including WikiConference North America), in an attempt to foster greater community dialogue. In addition to the COLOR and SWAN initiatives, I have also tried to foster global community understanding through Wikipedia Weekly Network over the past year, and especially for the 20th anniversary with Wiki 20 Countdown/Asia-Pacific and Wiki 20 Countdown/Africa. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | We need a truly decentralized and democratic movement, and I believe I can be in a postition to help forward that goal. We need a charter document that guarantees real independence and resources for the communities. I will draw on this past year's experience with the COLOR letter and the SWAN global meetings, and will work to hold movement actors to account with a meaningful and enforcable document. Strategy is about distribution of power and we shouldn't pretend that isn't. What we're looking at is a fair way of allocating resources and establishing consensus among the many elements of our movement globally.
Therefore, I commit myself to these principles:
I believe in a community driven iterative on-wiki process, not something written in a black box in a dark room. I will commit to ensuring these principles in the process and in the product, and I believe I have the experience, the diplomacy, and the nuance to be effective in this task. | |

| 서술 (400단어 이내) | Since I started engaging closely with the French and Arabic communities, I knew that communities need to build good relations with the foundation and its projects. I supported the Wikimedia strategy 2030 and thought the recommendations would lead the movement to achieve its mission and vision. Hence, participating in implementing the recommendations is a common interest among all communicates and the foundation. As an individual, I think I can benefit in the Charter Drafting Committee; I would like to share my thoughts and exchange ideas and experience with others. In addition to my interest in cooperating with committee closely, I will play a connector role between the committee and my community and will not preserve any effort to serve the needed efforts and time needed to draft an ambitious charter that meets the expectations of wikimedians around the globe. | |

| 서술 (400단어 이내) | We've been working so hard since 2018 to think how our movement would look like in the year 2030. Today, Wikipedia turns 20 and we are just 9 years away from Wikimedia 2030. This is not so many years left given the amount of work that still needs to be done in order to greet the year 2030. So, we need people with a little knowledge of the movement strategy and who are available to help us moving forward in this implementation phase. I've been involved in the strategy both as a saloons organizer (in DRCongo) and a participant (in East Africa, Uganda). These make me a great fit for the movement Charter's Drafting Committee. | |

| 위키미디어 운동 경험 | I am active in Wikimedia projects since 2013. I edit Wikipedia on several languages, and contribute to launch new versions in under-resourced languages as well. I am a co-founder of Wikimedia Morocco User group (Board member), Wikimedians of Tamazight User Group, and Arabic Wikimedians User Group. I have participated actively in different projects and initiatives, including being a Wikimedia 2030 Working group member (advocacy), the strategy liaison for Arabic language (WMF - contractor), member of the transition design group, and member of the connectors group, participating in writing the final 2030 recommendations. | |
| 협업 경험 | I have participated in several team collaborative experiences within our movement at different levels. Locally, I have been project coordinator for Wikimedia Morocco for several years, and the co-chair of WikiArabia conference in 2019. Internationally, I was the volunteer manager for Wikimania 2019 in Stockholm, and have served as program committee member and scholarship committee member at many local and regional conferences. I am also a member of the Simple Annual Plan Grants Committee.
Regarding strategy, I have been collaborating with Wikimedians from all corners, when being a working group member, but also across the different conferences, projects and events where we met. This gave me an important insight and a valuable experience of how to collaborate cross-culturally, in different time zones, and also on how to manage different ways of working, but still manage to deliver the needed result. Otherwise, I have a 8+ years professional experience as project manager, and my daily life is about team collaboration. I have worked in projects in IT, Telecommunications, health, public sector, finance, with several teams and companies around the world. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | I have been involved in the Wikimedia 2030 Strategy process since its beginning wearing several hats. Having participated in writing the final recommendations, I firmly believe that the Movement Charter will be a crucial document (and guide) for the future of our movement. It is important therefore to give it the place it needs, and ensure that the best possible team will work in it.
I would like to bring my background, as an interdisciplinary Wikimedian, who lived in three countries, to be part of this drafting committee. I am connected to several communities in the movement, and strive to share the different perspectives and contexts I am aware about, to reflect them into our global context. Diversity and inclusivity are among my important drivers, and ensuring that all our stakeholders (including the eventual future ones) is something I would like to achieve. As a community leader, I have been involved in several governance discussions, and my PhD dissertation regards IoT (Internet of Things) Governance, containing a full chapter about Wikipedia governance :) I reiterate my affirmation that the Movement Charter is a very important document (comparable to a constitution), and that it should be a priority for those who can join this initiative. I will be honored to build this with the drafting team. If anyone has a question or needs an information from me, please feel free to contact me at my talk page, and I will return to you as soon as I can. | |

| 협업 경험 | I'm already involved with several social/tech movement outside Wikimedia before. For example: Knowledge Management Research Group: Pustaka , Tempat Tempat Project , usaha.click, and OpenStreetMap Foundation. Inside Wikimedia, i and several fellow participants at Indonesian Wikidata Datathon 2021 founded Komunitas Wikidata Indonesia (Indonesian Wikidata Community) to coordinate our effort. We work together to improve Wikidata items related to Indonesian topics in general. In addition, we also focus on translating other Wikidata items into Indonesian language. | |
| 서술 (400단어 이내) | The greatest strength of Wikimedia is the talent, dedication and integrity of its members. We should accomodate the diversity of the people in our communities, including our particular interests, motivations and contributions. Some of us write articles. Some of us develop software. Some of us donate money, time or expertise. Some curate data, sources, or media. Some organize events, advocate for copyright reform, or remix artwork. Some are community organizers, educators, or copy editors. Some of us do all of the above, and more. What brings us together is not what we do, it's why we do it. We are all part of this movement because we share a belief that free knowledge makes the world a better place. Every human being deserves easy access to knowledge. And every human should have an opportunity to participate in compiling and sharing back their own knowledge.
But, we are still far from having collected the sum of all knowledge. Most of content we have created is in the form of long-form encyclopedia articles and still images, which leaves out many other types of knowledge. Our current communities don't represent the diversity of the human population. This lack of representation and diversity has created gaps of knowledge and systemic biases. Readers often question the reliability of the content we create, notably because it is not accurate, not comprehensive, not neutral, or because they don't understand how it is produced and by whom. The low barrier for entry from our early years has now become insurmountable for many newcomers. Some communities, cultures, and minorities have suffered from this exclusion more than others. Toxic behaviors and harassment have had a negative impact on participation in our projects. Other types of contribution beyond editing aren't recognized as equally valueable, and the structures of our movement are often opaque or centralized, with high barriers to entry. We even should change and innovate our services before it was too late. Many readers now expect multimedia formats beyond text and images. People want content that is real-time, visual and that support social sharing and conversation. We should address all of this issue so we can improve our movement. I hope, Movement Charter could address this issues. | |
