| Wikimedia movement experience | pl.wiki, en.wiki editor since 2004
* Proud part of international community thanks to the Wikimedia Central and Eastern Europe, public speeches, grants comm, collaborations among affiliates incl. capacity building, and more. Twice elected to the Funds Dissemination Committee, also member of the Resource Allocation Wikimedia strategy working group. | |
| Team collaboration experience | 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. The same I strive to use in my professional life, including work in a multicontinental team and in multinational expert groups in banking. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Wikimédia je najúspešnejšia inštitúcia zameraná na nové znalosti a najrozšírenejšia organizácia na svete. 8 miliárd ľudí nás potrebuje: jednak ako prístup k pohodlnému, bezplatnému, štruktúrovanému umeniu a informáciám – ale aj ako schopnosť vytvárať, upravovať a sami ich spravovať. Po 20 rokoch musíme zaistiť, aby sa naše úspechy neustále zlepšovali a prenášali na nové publikum a generácie. Keď mi znova objavíme, aby sme lepšie slúžili svetu, mali by sme stavať na zdrojoch našej veľkosti a jedinečnosti a vyplniť veľké medzery, ktoré stále máme.
Verím v zmocnených jednotlivcov a v ich zmluve, v múdrosť, ktorá pochádza z ich rozmanitosti, a v motiváciu, ktorá pochádza z spravodlivého zaobchádzania. Verím tiež v rozmanitosť prístupov a organizácií, v posilnenie postavenia pobočiek, v ich spravodlivosť a v ich prispôsobivosť miestnym podmienkam a budúcim potrebám. Wikipédia nás naučila, že samospráva, miestne komunity a partnerstvo víťazia nad centralizáciou a prísnymi hierarchiami; Podobné poučenia čerpáme aj z veľkých iniciatív jednotlivcov, skupín, kapitol a tímov vo WMF. Do roku 2030 musíme byť menej centralizovaní a viac vnímať miestne nápady, príležitosti a potreby. Musíme pôsobiť ako oveľa širší graf úspešných organizácií, ktoré vyvíjajú a testujú nové spôsoby, ako splniť potreby svojho cieľového publika. Musíme vytvoriť lepší priestor pre spoluprácu a invenciu, pre vedenie a učenie sa, pre minulých a budúcich Wikimédianistov. Verím, že moje skúsenosti s Wikimedia ako redaktora, hodnotiteľa pobočiek a grantov, ako aj moje vzdelanie a pracovné skúsenosti (obchod / psychológia / MBA v oblasti rizík a financie) mi pomôžu rozpoznať potreby jednotlivých členov komunity, priniesť cenné perspektívu a pomôžu spoločné vytvoriť veľkú Chartu. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | I am a co-founder and board member of Wiki Movimento Brasil, the sole Wikimedia affiliate in Brazil, currently.
Meta Wikimedia activity As a board member of Wiki Movimento Brasil, I have joined the Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network meetings, particularly the ones on the Movement Charter, and have been active in movement-wide discussions, for example, on the Universal Code of Conduct. I have also liaised between the Wikimedia Foundation and our affiliate on several occasions and represented our affiliate in Wikimedia international and regional meetings and discussion channels, including the Wikimedia Conference in 2017. | |
| Team collaboration experience | I work as an open-source developer in an environment of collaborative coding and documentation. Also, maintaining PAWS is also very much a team effort these days with most of the work now falling to the Wikimedia Cloud Services team.

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Teraz je načase definovať, čím by sme ako hnutie odteraz chceli byť. Toto je hlavný cieľ, ktorý sme si stanovili, a to Zabezpečiť spravodlivosť v rozhodovaní. Aby sme sa pohli dopredu, musíme definovať spoločný súbor zásad a postupov pre rozhodovanie a vyvinúť mechanizmy pre spravodlivé globálne zastúpenie a zmysluplné posilnenie účasti miestnych komunít. Schéma hnutia, ako participatívny proces zameraný na komunitu, bude stelesňovať ducha Wikimedie a poskytne potrebný rámec pre hnutie Wikimedie.
Musíme sa poučiť z toho, čo sme dosiahli, a spoločne si predstaviť budúcnosť, v ktorej chceme žiť. Napríklad Roly a zodpovednosti musia byť jasne definované, pretože transparentnosť je kľúčom k procesom a k rokovaniam nášho hnutia. Pochádzam z nedostatočne zastúpenej komunity a viem, že Postupy a rokovania sa musia posilniť a musia byť štruktúrované tak, aby pomáhali zmierňovať nerovnaké schopnosti v účasti v ekosystéme otvorených znalostí. Úspech Charty hnutia (stelesnenie diskusií a postupov Strategických procesov Wikimedia 2030) závisí od toho, či sme schopní do procesu navrhovania intenzívne zapojiť rôzne naše komunity. Tento zakladajúci dokument nebude úspešný len kvôli relevantnosti jeho obsahu a angažovanosti jeho pôvodcov; musí to byť spolupráca medzi všetkými zainteresovanými stranami, t. j. musí sa vytvoriť vo wiki štýle. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | 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. | |
| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | 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. | |
| Team collaboration experience | I am used to collaborate with people on an article, a programme, a document. However, I don't treat these experience as team collaboration, but peer to peer collaboration instead. I tell good jokes. In Chinese, though. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | As someone who truly believes that the administrative system of Wikimedia should be taken as *not a big deal*, I couldn't imagine my self being a candidate here. 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? I think the latter way. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | 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. | |
| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | My name is Sadik Shahadu from Ghana. I am a Co-founder of the Dagbani Wikimedians User Group and the Global Open Initiative. I am currently serving as a regional ambassador for indigenous communities at Art+Feminism, a steering committee member of the Wikimedia Language Diversity Hub, and have previously served as a volunteer on the Wikimedia project grants committee.
Over the past six years, I have served as a Wikipedia community leader and a project lead for several Wikimedia projects such as edit-a-thons, workshops, campaigns, and photo walks at the Global Open Initiative and the Dagbani Wikimedians User Group. I have also served as a country coordinator for Wiki Loves Folklore and Wiki Loves Earth 2021. Since 2017, I have volunteered for different Wikimedia communities including the current 3 Wikimedia affiliate User Groups in Ghana. As an indigenous ambassador, I work with indigenous communities to improve the content of Wikipedia in African languages. Some of my works include:
| |
| Team collaboration experience | Over the past over the past six (6) years, I have collaborated and worked on several Wikimedia-related projects with organizations/institutions such as the University of education's school of languages Ghana (The Dagbani department), University for development studies (UDS Navrongo campus), Wiki Africa Education and Artandfeminism. Outside Wikipedia, I served as a Mozilla Open Leader X fellow working with students to create open educational resources (OER) in Ghana and currently serving as an ambassador for the Mozilla festival 2021. Since 2020, I have served as a MozFest wrangler, working with the Mozilla foundation staff to co-designed the Mozilla festival. In 2017, I was a member of the CC global summit 2018 program committee and a Co-lead for the 'future of the Commons' track. I am currently a program facilitator and panel chair for the Hack4OpenGLAM at the 2021 Creative Commons global summit.
In addition to that, I work with several open leaders and OER experts on the 'Open Education for a Better World' program as an advisory board member to support participants and also help create scholarship opportunities for students from Africa at the university of Nova Gorica, Slovenia. As a digital language activist, I work with individuals and organizations who are interested in digitizing the Dagbani language on the internet. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | I believe, open education will provide a lasting solution to the global injustice that is affecting education in Africa. As one of the world's most visited online learning platforms, Wikipedia has proven to be one the most valuable online resources for both students and educators. As a volunteer contributor, I wish to contribute my experience to help this committee thrive. I am a project manager, researcher and a digital language activist with strong internet industry experience. I am passionate about open education, open data, and opensource technology.
My strengths are my interpersonal communication skills and my ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds. I am interested in working with indigenous languages communities, and always happy to discuss how we can bridge the gender gap on Wikipedia and the digital divide across Africa. | |

A ako človek viem, že najlepšie akcie sú tie, ktoré majú jasné, stručné a viaceré základy a pravidlá. Tento proces navrhovania vyžaduje ľudí s rôznou mentalitou a rôznymi uhlami pohľadu a zároveň je podobný hnutiu Wikimedie. Ja vždy nájdem lepší spôsob spoločne spolupráce v záujme spoločného záujmu, najmä podporou bezplatných znalostí. Mám v úmysle využiť svoje schopnosti v spolupráci s ostatnými členmi posunúť Hnutia Wikimedie ďalej. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | 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. | |
| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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. | |

In addition to this, with Women leads from 10 different language communities in India, organized first Women Train the Trainer program (India) in 2019. Currently supporting an education program in Regional institution with students working in 11 languages & mentors from different communities. Working with AffCom has provided me the experience of community challenges, strengths & collaborative operations. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | As a Wikimedian from India, I have learned a lot from the diverse experience & expertise of various communities in India. Our content needs, movement challenges & work scenarios are quite different from other regions which necessitates active engagement in discussions that are going to shape the global movement. As someone from the under represented region in Strategic conversations, I feel responsible for sharing our experiences & thoughts to help build a pathway that caters to the needs of diverse communities. Understanding importance of voicing the regional needs and challenges, I have been an active participant of strategic discussions. As we envision to make the movement stronger & inclusive, I am committed to invest my time & knowledge to ensure together we create a Charter that addresses the gaps & is a reflection of diverse vision(s). | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Mám vznešené a vznešené profesionálne sny: chcem pomôcť čo najväčšiemu počtu ľudí v núdzi, aby boli v bezpečí a šťastní.
Ako absolvent vysokej školy chcem zvládnuť všetky stratégie, ktoré sú najúčinnejšie pri podpore progresívnych sociálnych zmien. Byť starostlivou osobou je nevyhnutné pre sociálnu prácu, rovnako ako snaha a vysoká motivácia prinútiť klientov, aby dosiahli svoj plný potenciál. Sociálni pracovníci musia rozpoznať individualitu každého klienta a umožniť mu napredovať a zlepšovať sa. Plné rešpektovanie dôstojnosti klientov pomáha rozvíjať pocit vlastnej hodnoty, ktorý vedie k sebarealizáciii a k sebahodnote, a pomáha klientom stať sa participatívnymi občanmi, a nie záťažou pre systém. Boj so sociálnou nespravodlivosťou je podľa mňa zásadnou súčasťou sociálnej práce, rovnako ako obhajovanie záujmov ľudí, vždy s cieľom dosiahnuť pre svojich klientov najlepšie výsledky. Pevne verím, že sociálni pracovníci by mali byť hlasom pre utláčaných, ktorí bojujú za spravodlivosť a progresívne zmeny vo svojich komunitách. Aj keď je práca s jednotlivými klientmi (v mikro meradle) mojím primárnym a bezprostredným cieľom, myslím si, že je dôležité nikdy nestratiť zo zreteľa celkový obraz a to, že naše vlastné úsilie je súčasťou väčšieho hnutia za väčšiu rovnosť a dôstojnosť. | |

Dnes má Wikipédia 20 rokov a od Wikimedia 2030 nás delí iba 9 rokov. Vzhľadom na množstvo práce, ktorú je ešte potrebné urobiť, nám už nezostáva veľa rokov, aby sme uvítali rok 2030. Potrebujeme teda ľudí s trochou znalosti Stratégie hnutia, ktorí sú dostupný a pomôžu nám posunúť sa ďalej v implementačnej fáze.

| Wikimedia movement experience | 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. | |
| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | 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. | |
| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Charta hnutia je pre mňa základným predpokladom toho, aby naše hnutie, naše úsilie o slobodné poznanie a prístup k slobodnému poznaniu bolo pripravené do budúcnosti.
Som hlboko presvedčený, že musíme s dôsledkami prehodnotiť niektoré veci, ktoré sme v skutočnosti nikdy nespochybňovali. Spravodlivosť pri rozhodovaní je to, o čo sa snažíme. Čo to ale znamená z hľadiska typov organizácií, ktoré vytvárame, ich vzťahu/závislosti s nadáciou Wikimedia Foundation a od seba navzájom a úloha komunít v globálnom rozhodovaní? Musíme začať rokovania a vybalansovať moc, práva a záujmy. Charta hnutia položí základ novým štruktúram, ako je Globálna rada, ktorá musí tieto záujmy zas prinášať jednotné a slúžiť celému hnutiu. Patria sem darcovia a dobrovoľníci, ako aj naše organizácie a zamestnanci. Rozumiem tomu, že návrhový výbor zlučuje potrebný prieskum, prácu, ktorú už pracovné skupiny vykonali, a efektívne informácie od Wikimédov. Ide skôr o spustenie, ako o vytváranie. Myslím na iteračné kruhy s komunitou, v malých krokoch, a nie čakanie, dokým to nebude mať celé takú forme, ktorú je ťažko meniť. To by mohla byť najťažšia časť práce. Ale pevne verím, že v našom hnutí máme viac múdrosti, ako môže mať skupina 20 ľudí. A potrebujeme ich všetkých, ak chceme vytvoriť spoločný základ pre budúcnosť. | |

I'm currently an staff member at the Basque Wikimedians User Group, where I work mainly on our education program. As a devoted wikimedian on education, I was part of the team which organized the first Wikimedia+Education conference. I have been part of the Wikimedia 2030 Movement Strategy team, focusing on Diversity. I have volunteered in other Wikimedia events, such as Wikimania. As a volunteer, I also like to help small Wikipedias to work with automatic templates from Wikidata, a project where I also spend some volunteering time. I have organized the WLM contest three times in the Basque Country and I have a broad knowledge about how we are organized. | |

During the Movement Strategy (long) discussion I had a good perspective on how we should handle differences and go beyond our current status. I think I can be useful in this moment, as the Movement Charter will handle many of the arguments we had about governance during those long long long online and offline discussions. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | 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. | |
| Team collaboration experience | (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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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 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. | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Wikimédia je vo svete výskumu veľmi dôležitá, pretože obsahuje veľmi dôležité informácie pre žiakov, študentov, výskumných pracovníkov a učiteľov … Preto je potrebné, aby sme vynaložili všetko úsilie na spoločnom rozvoji tohto projektu, ktorý je prínosom pre celé ľudstvo. S ohľadom na to žiadam využiť svoje know-how, znalosti a všetky svoje schopnosti v prospech tohto zaujímavého projektu. Moje vlastnosti sú v dokonalom súlade s požiadavkami Návrhovej komisie tohto hnutia.
V prvom rade som informačný manažér. Mojou úlohou je poskytovať používateľom informácie, školiť ich v technike dokumentárneho výskumu a v súvislosti s ich výskumom ich nasmerovať na užitočné slovníky. Ako člen návrhovej výboru môžem výboru sprístupniť očakávania, ťažkosti a požiadavky všetkých používateľov. Za druhé, som školiteľom rôznych modulov v oblasti informačných vied a nástrojov na spoluprácu pre zvýšenie produktivity. Tieto nástroje dokonale ovládam, aby som pracoval v tíme, sledoval činnosti a stanovil termín rôznych úloh. Nakoniec nielenže budem môcť propagovať projekty Wikimedia vo svojich sieťach, ale tiež zaškolím ďalších ľudí o veciach potrebných pre tento projektu. | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | As a transgender women and an advocator for the women and LGBT rights, I think it is very import to make sure the goal of the Wikimedia movement covers the gender-based diversity, is for all people. Not only that the knowledge itself is free for all people, but the content of the knowledge covers all people, and is created by all people. It's thus very important to devote resources in order to promote friendly spaces to encourage women, LGBT and other minorities to contribute to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Movement. I would like to contribute my efforts to the committee.
As a Taiwanese and a member of the Chinese Wikipedia, as Chinese Wikipedia is one of the largest Wikimedia projects, I think more voices should be heard in the committee, in order to accomodate the problems the Chinese Wikipedia is facing, and the cultural issues that should be included into the Wikimedia Movement.

V tejto chvíli som správcom holandskej Wikipédie, dočasným správcom papiementskej Wikipédie, správcom Commons, agentom OTRS, správcom CN na Mete a mám niekoľko ďalších práv, ako napríklad tvorca kampaní slúžiace na hodnotenie fotografických súťaží pre Commons:Montage. Najmä ako správca CN pracujem vo veľmi rôznorodej jazykovej a kultúrnej úlohe, ktorá vedľa tejto rozmanitosti tiež vyžaduje pamätať na pozíciu a svetové vnímanie WMF pri voľbách a návrhoch, ktoré robíme pre bannery a kampane Wikimedia. Túto náročnú úlohu si veľmi užívam. V medzikultúrnych situáciách považujem za výzvu nájsť rovnováhu medzi osobou, ktorá ma osloví so žiadosťou a všeobecným sentimentom a pravidlami pre rôzne projekty.
Angažujem sa tiež v projektoch Gender Gap, LGBTI+, Accessibility a GLAM, v on-line ako aj offline spoluprácach. | |
| Team collaboration experience | Špeciálne v Stratégii som zapojený mnohými rôznymi spôsobmi od roku 2017, niekedy prekladaním a zapájaním našej komunity, aby si vytvorila názor na Strategické smerovanie 2030 (napr. nl:Wikipedia:Strategie 2030, a uverejnovaním informácií o iniciatívach WMF v našej Kaviarni, v našom hlavnom kanáli pre internú komunitnú komunikáciu. Zúčastnil som sa niekoľkých stretnutí za účelom rozvoja Strategického smerovania. V posledných mesiacoch som sa podieľal na implementácii nového Univerzálneho kódexu správania (UCoC) v našich holandských „Beleid Vriendelijk Ruimtes“, ktoré holandská pobočka (WMNL) používa na svojich podujatiach: tento koncept je momentálne prístupný na komunitné konzultovanie vo wiki organizácie. (Concepttekst nieuw Beleid Vriendelijke Ruimtes)
Zorganizoval som aj niekoľko akcií, sám alebo ako súčasť tímu, od malých stretnutí v knižniciach po viacdenné a nadnárodné akcie, ako napríklad Wiki Techstorm. Na viacerých Wikimániách (2018, 2019, 2021) som mal niekoľko menších podporných úloh. Krátky (vždy neúplný) prehľad mojich aktivít na wiki za posledných 15 rokov nájdete v holandčine tu. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Chcel by som pomôcť vytvoriť Chartu hnutia, ktorá nebude obmedzovať naše súčasné komunity, ale stanoví dôstojnú základnú líniu toho, čo sa očakáva od rôznych rolí a zodpovedností, ktoré máme. Za tie roky, čo som sa učil, sa role vyvíjajú a zodpovednosti sa menia. Preto by som chcel, aby sa Charta hnutia stala chartou jasnou, ale dostatočne flexibilnou na to, aby dokázala vynímať dodatky a zmeny, takže v skutočnosti poskytne pevný základ pre naše komunity v nasledujúcich rokoch a aj ďalej. Stala by sa časovo-nemennou chartou. | |

Pripúšťam, že musia existovať hranice, keď činy už nie sú chybami, ale skôr sa stanú vzorom. Charta hnutia musí byť základom toho, kým sme, čo robíme a prečo to robíme. Prioritami, ktoré v charte vidím, sú ochrana anonymity a rovnaký prístup pre všetkých, čo im umožňuje sa zúčastniť vo vhodnom čase a v jazyku, ktorým najlepšie hovoria. Je potrebné venovať pozornosť nuansám každého jazyka a spôsobu jeho prekladu, aby sa zaistilo, že pojmy budú pre každého predstavené rovnako. Rovnosť začína znením charty, ktorá musí do každého prekladu začleniť rovnaké zásady. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | For the last sixteen years I have played several roles in growing and supporting the Wikimedia movement in the Philippines and the local community that anchors it, as well as the global Wikimedia community at large. These include:
* Organizing the Philippine Wikimedia community into a coherent group of people, which led to the founding of Wikimedia Philippines in 2010. Between 2010 and 2016, the organization was responsible for significantly expanding the reach of the Wikimedia projects in the Philippines, including significant inroads in content, outreach and the growth of our community and volunteers. Today, as the Wiki Society of the Philippines, we continue to work with various stakeholders to improve quality of access to Wikidata in the country, as well as encouraging documentation of historical sites in the Philippines and combatting disinformation on the Wikimedia projects online and offline. 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. | |
| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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. | |

Mojím cieľom ako kandidáta do návrhovej komisie Charty hnutia je propagovať túto praktickú myšlienku elektronického spoločenstva komunít, ktoré udržiavajú a budujú bezplatné znalosti. Návrhový výbor Charty hnutia by mal navrhnúť všeobecnú chartu pre komunitu redaktorov vo viacerých elektronických knižniciach, a nie hocijaký iný typ hnutia určený za sociálnu zmenu. Výbor pre návrh charty by sa mal zamerať na kvalitu elektronických knižníc, ktoré komunity udržujú, a nie na akýkoľvek iný sociálny cieľ, a mal by navrhnúť chartu, ktorá je plne samosprávna s minimálnym zapojením nadácie. | |

Being a co-founder of Dagbani Wikimedians User Group, I worked tiredlessly for the realisation of the group's objective. Due to the hardwork of the team and volunteers, the group (language specific) was given a [[[:dag:Solɔɣu]] fully fledged Wikipedia] that was announced on July 1, 2021. I, being a pioneer of the group trained alot of volunteers to acquire editging skills to be able to contribute to Wikimedia projects.I have participated actively in different projects and initiatives, including being GLAM ambassador for GOIF,event organiser for Art and Feminism and a trainer/project manager for Dagbani Wikimedians User Group. | |
| Team collaboration experience | I have participated in several team collaborative experiences within Dagbani Wikimedians User Group at different levels and that lead to successfully carrying out several useful projects such as Bachinima project, Wiki loves Folklore and My Northern achiever project. The accumulation of which landed us into having a fully fledged Wikipedia. I have vast experience in bringing up my community from being in the incubator to being made a fully fledged Wikipedia. | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Najväčšou silnou stránkou Wikimedia je talent, odhodlanie a integrita jej členov. Mali by sme vziať do úvahy rozmanitosť ľudí v našich komunitách vrátane našich konkrétnych záujmov, motivácií a príspevkov. Niektorí z nás píšu články. Niektorí z nás vyvíjajú softvér. Niektorí z nás darujú peniaze, čas alebo odborné znalosti. Niektoré údaje, zdroje alebo médiá. Niektorí organizujú akcie, obhajujú reformu autorského zákona alebo remixujú umelecké diela. Niektorí sú komunitnými organizátormi, pedagógmi alebo redaktormi. Niektorí z nás robia to všetko a ešte viac. To, čo nás spája, nie je to, čo robíme, ale prečo to robíme. Všetci sme súčasťou tohto hnutia, pretože zdieľame presvedčenie, že slobodné znalosti robia svet lepším miestom. Každý si zaslúži ľahký prístup k znalostiam. A každý človek by mal mať možnosť podieľať sa na zostavovaní a zdieľaní svojich znalostí.
K tou, by sme mali zhromaždené sumár všetkých znalostí, sme ešte ďaleko. Väčšina obsahu, ktorý sme vytvorili, je vo forme dlhých lexikónových článkov a fotografií, ktoré zanedbávajú mnoho ďalších typov znalostí. Naše súčasné komunity neodrážajú rozmanitosť ľudskej populácie. Tento nedostatok zastúpenia a rozmanitosti viedol k nedostatkom znalostí a systematickým predsudkom. Čitatelia často pochybujú o spoľahlivosti obsahu, ktorý sme vytvorili, najmä preto, že nie je presný, komplexný ani neutrálny alebo nerozumie tomu, ako sa a kým sa obsah vytvára. 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. Mali by sme sa zaoberať všetkým týmto problémami, aby sme mohli zlepšiť svoje hnutie. Verím v to, že tieto problémy by mohla vyriešiť Charta hnutia. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | Volunteering since 2004 in a number of capacities, including individual content and technical contributions (mainly bots). I have also worked on behalf of Wikimedia affiliates to plan outreach and training programs, including Wikimania 2012, and I have also run those kinds of programs as a representative of a partner institution. More information is available on my user page. | |
| Team collaboration experience | I have worked with volunteer and hybrid volunteer–professional teams to organize events as large as over 1,000 people, run affiliate boards, plan events both large and small, build and maintain relationships with partners, and develop software collaboratively with the communities as a Wikimedia Foundation staffer. I served on the boards of two affiliates, Wikimedia District of Columbia (2011-2018) and Wiki Project Med (2017). I also was briefly on a Wikimedia Foundation conference grants committee and I served as a facilitator for the 2014 affiliate-selected board seat process. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Som súčasťou Wikimedie už veľmi dlho. Pamätám si časy, keď bola Wikipédia radikálnym experimentom, ktorý nikto nebral vážne. Ale aj tak sme pokračovali. O dvadsať rokov neskôr je Wikipédia považovaná za jednu z posledných bášt spoľahlivých, nestranných informácií. Považujem to za obrovské zlyhanie našej spoločnosti v tom, aby tento druh práce brala vážne ako prioritu, ale aj za dôkaz sily pre odolnosť hnutia Wikimedie. Hnutie, ktoré je organický postavené na spoločnej viere v dôležitosť pre zdieľanie informácií. Hnutie, kde sa na spoluzúčastní nemusíte formálne pripojiť k klubu.
S Chartou hnutia stojíme pred výzvou vyvinúť rámec správy a riadenia hnutia Wikimédie. Decentralizované hnutie, ktoré vždy odolávalo väčšine foriem konsolidácie a hierarchizácie. Toto je vlastnosť nášho hnutia, nie je to chyba. Ale bez formálne uznaného orgánu, akým je Globálna rada, stojíme tvárou v tvár rôznym roztrúseným mocenským štruktúram, ktoré uprednostňujú dobre organizovaných a dobre financovaných členov. V praxi to znamená, že napriek tomu, že nadácia vynakladá milióny dolárov na zlepšenie vzťahov s komunitou, dobrovoľníci majú pocit, že nad činnosťou nadácie Wikimedia Foundation nemajú žiadnu kontrolu. Systém môže nejako fungovať, ale presvedčenie, že nefunguje, bude pretrvávať. 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:

| Wikimedia movement experience | 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. | |
| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | 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:
| |
| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Potrebujeme skutočne decentralizované a demokratické hnutie a som presvedčený, že som schopný tento cieľ posunúť dopredu. Potrebujeme chartu, ktorá zaručí komunitám skutočnú nezávislosť a zdroje. Budem čerpať zo skúseností za minulý rok s listom COLOR a globálnymi stretnutiami SWAN a budem pracovať na tom, aby sa aktéri hnutia zodpovedali za zmysluplný a vymáhateľný dokument. Stratégia je o distribúcii moci a nemali by sme predstierať, že nie je. Ide o spravodlivé rozdelenie zdrojov a konsenzus medzi mnohými prvkami nášho hnutia po celom svete.
Preto sa hlásim k týmto zásadám:
Verím v komunitný, iteračný proces na wiki, nie v niečo, čo je napísané v čiernej skrinke v tmavej miestnosti. Budem pracovať na tom, aby boli tieto zásady dodržané v procese a v produkte, a verím, že mám skúsenosti, diplomaciu a inštinkt, aby som úspešný v tejto úlohe. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | 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. | |
| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Od začiatku som bol zapojený do procesu stratégie Wikimedia 2030 a nosil som niekoľko klobúkov. Keďže som sa podieľal na príprave konečných odporúčaní, pevne verím, že Charta hnutia bude do budúcna kritickým dokumentom (a sprievodcom) nášho hnutia. Preto je dôležité dať jej potrebný priestor a uistiť sa, že na nej pracuje najlepší možný tím.
Chcel by som do Návrhovej komisie uviesť svoje pozadie ako interdisciplinárny Wikimédián, ktorý žil v troch krajinách. Som prepojený s viacerými komunitami hnutia a chcem sa s ostatnými podeliť o rôzne perspektívy a kontexty, ktoré poznám, aby som ich mohol reflektovať v našom globálnom kontexte. Rôznorodosť a inkluzívnosť sú mojimi hlavnými záujmami a chcem zaistiť, aby boli zapojené všetky naše zainteresované strany (vrátane budúcich). Ako vodca komunity som sa zúčastnil niekoľkých diskusií o riadení a môj doktorát je z oblasti riadenia Internetu vecí (Internet of Things) s celou kapitolou o riadení na Wikipédii. :) Potvrdzujem, že Charta hnutia je veľmi dôležitým dokumentom (podobný ústave) a že by mal byť prioritou pre tých, ktorí sa môžu pripojiť k tejto iniciatíve. Bude mi cťou pracovať na tom vo výbore. Ak máte na mňa otázku alebo potrebujete nejaké informácie, neváhajte ma kontaktovať na mojej diskusnej stránke a ja vám odpoviem čo najskôr. | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | I am a founding member of Wikimedians of Tamazight User Group and head of communication at Wikimedia Algeria since 2014. I am an active member of the community since 2010. 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. I work for developing African and indigenous languages, in 2019 I was able to start the creation process of the Tacawit Wiktionary (the first language community to found itself on a project other than Wikipedia). I was in the organizing committees of WikiIndaba and WikiArabia. I am also a member of WikiIndaba Steering Committee and a Former member of the AffCom and I was a Candidate of The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. I represent my affiliation in the organization of the collaboration between the francophone groups of the Wikimedia movement (WikiFranca). | |
| Team collaboration experience | I have participated in several team collaborative experiences within our movement at different topics and levels. At the organizational level of the UGs, I can say that I am a very important member for my affiliations. I organize meetings to discuss the situations and solutions that must be resolved or achieved. My team and I are working on projects of several formats. Organization of contests, example of WLX on Commons, or lastly the contest of Kateb Maktub on WP in Arabic. I also participate in training of young and future Wikimedians in Russia, Algeria and Dubai by collaborating with different affiliations of the region. I participated in the organization of many conferences in Africa and Europe. We made partnerships to set up educational projects such as MOOCs in Arabic, Russian and Tamazight, working with affiliates and companies in these regions. Kdekoľvek, kde som, tak vždy začínam diskusie ku začínajúcim projektom alebo aktivítam. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | My professional experience has always been related to management and leadership. I started by creating my own company working in the field of culture, then I was invited to work with large European retailers and multinational corporations from France and Sweden. in parallel with my personal projects in the cultural field. From 2019 I am working with cultural associations in Algeria collaborating with UNESCO to promote the material and immaterial heritage. I start an organization in Algeria the Citizen Inventory of Heritage where I am a co-founder and CFO. I have specialist degree and a Ph.D. in management from the University of St. Petersburg.
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. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | 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. :) ) | |
| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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. | |

I have organized and participated in a number of wikipedia campaigns and this lead to increase in new editors in northern Nigeria. I am one of the co-contributors of Hausa Wikimedia user group. I have being a contributor to wikipedia movement since September 2019 and I want to stay and give more as long as i am alive and able. | |
| Team collaboration experience | I have collaborated in many wikipedia projects which leads to the rapid growth of the Hausa wikipedia. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Since joining Wikipedia in the late 2019, at first I thought wikipedia is just a free knowledge sharing mechanism. I was just interested in the art of spreading free knowledge globally. Later on I came to realize that Wikipedia is lot more than just an education sharing platform, rather, a global education movement comprising a diverse set of languages and cultures and at the same time protecting the laws of human rights in respect to cultural and religious differences. 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 is only as a result of equity, fairness and good governance of the WMF. I just feel this is exactly where I belong, as to me 'every person i meet is my superior in some ways' and i have alot of respect in regards to cultural and religious differences as well, I therefore want to be part of this gigantic movement. I want to give more and am commited to learning more from the movement.
I am confident I have what to give to the chatter as I have experience in governing and I have good speaking and writing skills. I will work collaboratively in defining & structuring policies that will ensure the positivity of the Wikipedia goals and vision. | |

Besides the duties from WMTW, I also participate in several regional organizations and Wikimedia movements. such as joining the program committee of the ESEAP conference to design and arrange programs for participants, discussing and writing recommendations as a Community health team member for 2030 movement and so on. Starting from 2017, I keep assisting improve the Chinese translation quality for Wikiprojects and movements; what's more, working as a Chinese interpreter for Wiki global conversations. I have plenty off-Wiki and on-Wiki collaboration experience. I am currently the director of Wikipedia Asian month (events and user group), cooperating with more than 60 Wiki teams from worldwide to promote Asian cultures via Wikipedias and Wikimedia projects. I am a full-time PhD researcher/ PhD candidate in real life, my major research field is immunology, virology. I shared my Wiki experience in some universities before and now have a lot of cooperation with other research teams all over the world. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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. | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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. Chcel by som pomôcť s napísaním textu, ktorý podporujú komunity. Verím, že to musí byť cez komunitné konzultácie prostredníctvom iteračných fáz. Výbor bude pracovať v niekoľkých kolách na vypracovaní textov a zhromažďovaní spätnej väzby od komunít – a ďalších zainteresovaných strán. Budem pracovať na tom, aby bol tento proces otvorených konzultácií založený na konsenzuálnych rozhodnutiach. V jednotlivých kolách spätnej väzby môže ktokoľvek namietať proti častiam textu. Aby bola Charta nakoniec ratifikovaná, musí výbor vyriešiť všetky neprekonateľné námietky predtým, ako niekoho požiada o ratifikáciu textu. | |

Toto globálne hnutie môže byť pre človeka prínosné a byť mu obohatením. A hnutie môže byť ako ďalšie dimenzia k len fyzickému prispievaniu a editovaniu nejakých článkov v nejakej lokálnej Wikipédie.
Technická slúži človeku, nie človek technike. Technika je prostriedok.

Wikimedia by malo umožniť každému prispievať prostredníctvom smartfónov a preferovaných zariadení (desktop je IMHO typovo/demograficky neobjektívny). Vždy som pracoval na odstránení prekážok k slobodnému poznania a k zníženiu náročnosti učenia, ktorá je potrebná na zapojenie sa do prispievania. Tí, ktorí by chceli pridať znalosti, by to mali zvládnuť bez toho, aby trávili čas školením. Veci by mali byť navrhnuté intuitívne. Správna komunikácia a dokumentácia sú ďalšími aspektmi, ktoré doteraz chýbali. WMF musí komunikovať s komunitami a dostávať spätnú väzbu od rôznych skupín z rôznych sesterských projektov.

Chcel by som pracovať na tom, aby otázky ohľadom ochrany údajov, slobody prejavu a ďalších ľudských práv zohrávali v procese navrhovania ústrednú úlohu. Ako Latinskoameričan chcem tiež zabezpečiť, aby Charta hnutia odrážala kultúrnu rozmanitosť môjho regiónu. | |

| Team collaboration experience | I had many collaboration experiences during both my wikimedian and professional lives, some key ones:
| |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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?”. | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Chcel by som pomôcť vytvoriť Chartu hnutia, ktorá neobmedzuje jednotlivcov, komunity a organizácie, ale delí sa o zodpovednosť a zaisťuje spravodlivú účasť na rozhodovaní a prideľovaní zdrojov. Vďaka svojim medzikultúrnym komunikačným schopnostiam (angličtina a Igbo) môžem aktívne zapojiť anglickú komunitu a komunitu Igbo Wikimedia a posielať ich pripomienky ku Charte hnutia.
Moje skúsenosti, ako výskumného pracovníka v Inštitúte pre správu a verejnú politiku, prehĺbili moje znalosti v oblastiach správy a riadenia spoločností, organizačného manažmentu, manažmentu predstavenstva, právnych opatrení, dokumentácie a implementácie usmernení a ďalších potrebných databáz znalostí. Pomohlo mi to pri konzultácii so zodpovednými orgánmi úspešne vypracovať stanovy pre Wikimedia-Hub. Ako produktovému dizajnérovi mi moje schopnosti v oblasti projektového myslenia, kritického myslenia a strategického myslenia pomáhajú prekladať Odporúčania stratégie do štruktúr, identifikovať medzery, ktoré je potrebné vyplniť, a dokončiť práce v stanovenom čase. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | Po falošnom začiatku v roku 2012 som spadol do králičej diery v roku 2018 a odvtedy som aktívny. Jedno z mojich najaktívnejších polí je agent OTRS (teraz VRT), hlavne práca s ľuďmi bez akejkoľvek skúsenosti s Wikimédiou, pomoc s navigáciou čo môže byť skutočne zastaraný proces. Tiež som v roku 2019 sa stal administrátorom en.wiki, čo bolo približne v čase keď som sa stal vysoko aktívnym v Stratégii hnutia. Toto pozostáva z účasti na každej fáze skoro každého odporúčania, diskusie o prioritizácii, Univerzálneho kódexu správania a každej diskusii čo sme museli implementovať v Stratégii 2030. Zahŕňa tiež pomoc pri príprave kompromisnej výberovej metódy pre Návrhový výbor pre Chartu hnutia. | |
| Team collaboration experience | Podstatnú časť kariéry som pracoval ako strategický analytik pre medzinárodnú firmu - malý tím s hlavným poslaním získavať rôzne pohľady a priority tucta rôznych jednotiek firmy a následným vypracovaním realizovateľnej stratégie s ktorou budú všetci spokojní. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Zaujalo ma, čo tu dať – a zdá sa mi, že každý má svoj vlastný názor na používanie stanoviska, ale myslel som si, že by ste chceli vedieť, čo by som vlastne robil, keby som bol vybraný (aj keď v skrátenej forme!).
Tento proces je kritický, ale musíme sa postarať o to, že menej o autorov a viac o stanoviskách komunity (dôraz na množné číslo). Nemali by sme sa pokúšať presiť kontroverznú pozíciu s 51 % podporou a ani ja by som sa o to nepokúšal. Som veľkým zástancom „subsidiarity“ - to znamená, že čokoľvek, čo sa dá urobiť na najširšej úrovni (miestne komunity a meta -komunita), tak by sa tak aj malo urobiť.
Nakoniec, som k dispozícií pre akýkoľvek typ otázky. Keď skončí formálny proces, pýtajte sa na mojej diskusnej stránke. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | od roku 2015 prispievam do Wikipédie. Do komunity užívateľov Wikimedia Group Pobrežia Slonoviny som vstupil v tom istom roku, ako som sa stal dobrovoľníkom. V roku 2016 som bol zaradený do roly ako komunikátor v rámci komunity, predovšetkým na pozíciu Grafický dizajnér. Ako tento názov hovorí, tak mám na starosti vypracovanie akejkoľvek grafickej a fyzickej vizuálnej komunikačnej podpory v rámci komunity v našej krajine. V roku 2021 som nastúpil do výkonnej rady Wikimédia Pobrežia Slonoviny ako zástupca generálneho tajomníka, kde mám na starosti sekretariát komunity. | |
| Team collaboration experience | Particularly at Wikimedia, I have worked in the local team of the Wiki Loves Africa project for the 2015, 2016 and 2017 sessions. My role consisted in helping with the realization of the activity programs, development of the content for publication, management of the teams for taking the photos, training of and support to the volunteers to the project, staying in line with the strategic direction and the recommendations of the Project Manager. This had the aim of a reliable and perfect dissemination of communication materials, the assistance of the local contributors on Commons and finally the realization and the correction of the reports of the project activities. The work was supervised by the Country Project Manager. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 20 rokov po jeho narodeninách je Wikipédia veľmi dôležitým kanálom s vlastnou schvaľovacou pečaťou. Urobili sme toho veľa a máme ešte oveľa viac práce, pretože sme len 6 rokov od našich cieľov Wikimedia 2030. Vzhľadom na ambiciózne ciele a náročnosť práce, ktorú je potrebné vykonať, je nevyhnutné najať dobrých ľudí, aby dosiahli veľa. Preto je najdôležitejšia potreba ľudí, ktorí sú s týmto hnutím oboznámení. Pre mňa, na základe skúseností, ktoré som získal vo svojej krajine, a zručností, ktoré som získal ako aktívny člen pri implementácii stratégie Wikimedia 2030 na Pobreží Slonoviny, dobrovoľne vyvíjam Chartu hnutia Wikimédie. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | I have a personal and a professional role inside the Wikimedia movement. In my personal capacity I am a contributor to Bangla and English Wikipedia, and Commons. In my professional role, I work at the Wikimedia Foundation providing operational support to the Inuka, Language, and Campaigns Product teams as a Director in the Product Department. At various times, I have participated in activities that the teams or the Product department have undertaken for product initiatives. | |
| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | Since finding Wikipedia in 2004, I have gained experience in a wide range of roles - editor, patroller, administrator, translator, OTRS agent, technical volunteer, outreach activist, chapter founder, and board member. Since 2013 I have been working for the Wikimedia Foundation as a software developer (see staff user page here - to avoid any doubt: my candidacy here is entirely in a volunteer capacity) and have focused my free time on wiki software development as well. | |
| Team collaboration experience | I have been involved in movement strategy since 2017, first as a member of the Product & Technology working group, then as a recommendation writer. On-wiki, I have been active (mostly between 2005-2012) in mediation, consensus-building, and policy-making. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | For all its virtues, the Wikimedia Movement has only been partially successful at empowering its volunteers, whose work it is sustained by. We need to improve equity, in both senses of the word: ensuring we treat each other fairly and impartially, and ensuring we treat those donating their time and efforts to the movement as shareholders, who can participate in the decisions that affect them and their work, and get all the support they need to do that well. The movement strategy is a bold attempt to achieve that, and I'd like to do what I can to help it move forward.
What I hope to bring to the table:

| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | 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. | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Moje osobné pozadie je odlišné od mnohých iných kandidátov. Vždy som sa videl predovšetkým ako redaktor so záujmom o globálne organizačné aspekty hnutia Wikimedie a nie ako člen konkrétnej skupiny. Som Wikimédianom viac ako 16 rokov a získal som široké spektrum skúseností na miestnej i globálnej úrovni. Poznám mnoho historických udalostí, ktoré v priebehu rokov ovplyvnili vývoj Hnutia a dobre rozumiem citlivosti rôznych častí Hnutia.
Som si vedomý toho, že nebude možné, aby tento Návrhový výbor splnil všetky očakávania svojich členov, nieto ešte očakávania všetkých členov hnutia; Verím však, že spoločnou spoluprácou môžeme dosiahnuť rovnováhu, ktorú akceptuje naše široké globálne spoločenstvo. Pevne verím, že jednotlivé projekty (Wikipédia, Commons, Wikiúdaje, Wikizdroje a mnoho ďalších „sesterských“ projektov) sú jadrom hnutia a že infraštruktúra hnutia musí byť navrhnutá tak, aby pomohla týmto projektom rásť a rozvíjať sa zdravým spôsobom. Nie som a nikdy som ani nebol členom žiadnej z pridružených organizácií Wikimedie, ale moja práca na FDC a na Strategickom projekte 2030 mi priniesla hlboký a trvalý rešpekt k týmto organizáciám a ich hodnote pre hnutie ako celok, pretože sú dôležitými aspektami infraštruktúry na podporu projektov. | |

| Team collaboration experience | 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. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Ako jeden z autorov pôvodných odporúčaní, ktoré viedli k Charte pohybu, naozaj chcem, aby to fungovalo. Nejde len o Chartu a Globálnu radu, ale aj o ďalšie dôležité aspekty odporúčaní, ako napríklad zriadenie regionálnych centier a decentralizácia moci s cieľom zvýšiť otvorenosť a participáciu hnutia.
Verím, že vypracovanie charty hnutia a prijatie hnutia bude veľkou výzvou. Verím, že Navrhový výbor môže byť úspešná iba vtedy, ak existuje rozsiahly a otvorený proces oslovovania komunít a založenie charty na ich potrebách a prianiach. Mám svoj názor na to, ako by to malo fungovať podrobne tu. Aby tento proces fungoval, musíme mať čo najskôr jasno v tom, ako sa zapoja komunity a ako bude prebiehať proces vývoja a ratifikácie. Mám veľa skúseností s prácou na správe hnutia – nielen v procese stratégie. Ako predseda Wikimedia UK som v tejto Charte pomohol vyriešiť niektoré zásadné problémy so správou a zúčastnil som sa mnohých predchádzajúcich diskusií medzi komunitami (diskusie o fundraisingu a financovaní 2011-2, Superprotect, FramBan, mnohé zmeny na WMF počas posledných 10 rokov). Keďže Charta hnutia sa pozerá do budúcnosti, mám pocit, že ja môžem priniesť niektoré 'dôležité' inštitucionálne znalosti. Verím, že Charta hnutia, a v konečnom dôsledku Globálna rada, bude v budúcnosti hrať dôležitú úlohu v našom hnutí. Ak fungujú, môže to usmerniť všetok pohyb správnym smerom. Začať môžeme riešením dlhodobých problémov nedôvery a nerovnováhy síl. Ale musí sa to urobiť správne. Verím, že môžem pomôcť nasmerovať tento projekt správnym smerom, a preto kandidujem do výboru.
