|---|---|---|
| Wikimedia movement experience | Соучредитель Группы Пользователей Википедийцев из ДР Конго, я организовываю мероприятия связанные с Викимедиа (например, тренинги, хакатоны, едитатоны...), в основном во франкоязычном сообществе. | |
| Team collaboration experience | В основном я работаю с коллегами Викимедийцами по континенту, чтобы повысить осведомленность о проектах Викимедиа. Мы также сотрудничаем в рамках нашего ЮГ, когда дело доходит до разработки проектов, поскольку мы живем в разных городах. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | С 2018 года мы много работали над тем, как будет выглядеть наше движение к 2030 году. Сегодня, Википедии исполняется 20 лет и до «Викимедиа 2030» осталось всего 9 лет. Это не так много, учитывая объем работы, которую еще предстоит проделать для встречи 2030 года. Поэтому нам нужны люди, которые знакомы со Стратегией Движения и готовые помочь нам в продвижении на этом этапе реализации рекомендаций. Я участвовал в разработке стратегии и как организатор стратегических салонов (в ДР Конго), и как участник салона (в Восточной Африке, в Уганде). Благодаря этому я отлично подхожу для работы в Редакционном Комитете Устава Движения. | |

| Team collaboration experience | Active member within the Arab and Algerian community since 2019. I am member of organization team of Wikiarabia 2021 | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | С тех пор как я начал тесно взаимодействовать с французским и арабским сообществами, я понял, что сообществам необходимо строить хорошие отношения с фондом и проектами. Я поддерживал стратегию «Викимедиа 2030» и считал, что рекомендации будут способствовать движению в достижении миссии и видения. Следовательно, участие в реализации рекомендаций является общим интересом для всех сообществ и фонда. Как человек, я думаю, что могу принести пользу в Редакционном Комитете Устава; я хотел бы поделиться своими мыслями и обменяться идеями и опытом с другими. Помимо того, что я заинтересован в тесном сотрудничестве с Комитетом, я буду играть роль связного между комитетом и моим сообществом и не пожалею сил и времени, необходимых для составления амбициозного Устава, отвечающего ожиданиям Викимедийцев со всего мира. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | I have been involved with the movement since 2006. At the moment I am a Dutch Wikipedia admin, temporary admin on the Papiamentu Wikipedia, admin on Commons, VRTS-agent, CN admin on Meta, and hold some other rights like campaign creator for Commons:Montage campaigns for judging photo competitions. Especially as a CN admin I work in a very language and cultural diverse role, that next to this diversity also asks to keep in mind the position and the world's perception of the WMF in the choices and designs we make for the Wikimedia banners and campaigns. I enjoy this challenging role a lot. In intercultural situations I find it a challenge to seek balance between the person approaching me with a request and the general sentiment and rules on the different projects. I am also involved in Gender Gap, LGBTI+, Accessibility, and GLAM Wikiprojects, both in on- and offline collaborations. | |
| Team collaboration experience | Specifically for Strategy I have been involved in many different ways since 2017, sometimes by translating and getting our community to form an opinion on the Strategic Direction 2030 (ex. nl:Wikipedia:Strategie 2030, and by posting about WMF initiatives in our Village Pump, our main channel for internal community communication. I have attended several meetings for the development of the Strategic direction. In the past months I have been involved with the implementation of the new Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) in our Dutch "Beleid Vriendelijk Ruimtes" that the Dutch Chapter (WMNL) uses for their events: the concept is up on the chapters wiki at the moment for community consultation. (Concepttekst nieuw Beleid Vriendelijke Ruimtes) I have organized several events as well, alone or as part of a team, from small meetings in libraries to multi-day and multinational events like the Wiki Techstorm. I had some smaller supporting tasks in several Wikimania's (2018, 2019, 2021). A short (ever incomplete) resume of my wiki activities in the past 15 years can be found, in Dutch, here | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Я хотела бы помочь создать Устав для Движения, который не будет слишком ограничивать наши текущие сообщества, но установит достойную базис того, что ожидается от различных ролей и обязанностей, которые у нас есть. С годами я поняла, что роли эволюционируют, а обязанности меняются. Поэтому я бы хотела, чтобы Устав Движения стал точным уставом, но достаточно гибким, чтобы в него можно было вносить дополнения и изменения, чтобы оно действительно стало прочным фундаментом для наших сообществ в ближайшие годы и надеюсь, в будущем тоже. Так сказать, Устав - проверенный временем. | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Я мотивированный человек и рад служить Фонду Викимедиа. Во время учебы я получил знания в области коммуникаций в поддержку развития; я приобрел знания о различных аспектах и подходах в коммуникации, включая групповую коммуникацию, общую коммуникацию, консультацию с сообществами и межкультурную коммуникацию.
Я готов участвовать в этом и обещаю действовать в интересах движения Викимедиа, соблюдая Универсальный Кодекс Поведения и следуя рекомендациям «Направления Стратегии» и «Стратегии Движения». Фактически, после различных участий в мероприятиях движения Викимедиа, я развиваю навыки работы в проектах Викимедиа и планирую расти. В своей профессиональной деятельности я добивался создания согласованной базы данных, координации действий различных участников, поиска компромиссов. Моя практика помогла мне проверить мою способность планировать, быть отзывчивой и творческой, я также проверил свою способность видеть пробелы, которые необходимо устранить, умение вести переговоры с разными сторонами. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | After a false start back in 2012 I fell into the rabbit hole in 2018 and have been active since. One of my most active fields is as an OTRS (now VRT) response agent, primarily working with those with absolutely no Wikimedia experience, aiding in navigating what can be a distinctly byzantine process. I also became an en-wiki admin in 2019, which was also around the time that I became highly active in the Strategy side of the movement. This has run from participation in every phase of almost every recommendation, the prioritisation discussions, the UCOC, and every discussion we've had to implement the 2030 strategy. This included helping craft the compromise selection method for the MCDC. | |
| Team collaboration experience | The bulk of my career has been as a Strategy Analyst for a multi-national - a small team with a primary remit for acquiring the different views and priorities of a dozen different business units, and then drafting a viable strategy that can be lived with by everyone. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Я думал, что здесь написать - похоже, у всех есть свои взгляды на использование формы заявления, но я думаю, что вы захотите узнать, что я буду делать, если меня выберут (Вкратце!).
Это ключевой процесс, но критически важно, чтобы он не был связан только с конкретными редакторами и был в большей степени связан с мнением Сообщества (подчеркиваю множественное число). Мы не должны пытаться протащить спорную позицию с поддержкой в 51%, и я бы не стал этого делать. Я убежденный сторонник «дополнения» - то есть, все, что можно сделать на самом широком уровне (локальные сообщества и мета-сообщество), то и должно быть сделано.
Наконец, я открыт для вопросов функционально любого уровня. Если формальный процесс окажется ограниченным, спрашивайте на моей странице обсуждения | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | On-wiki

| 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) | Как один из авторов первых рекомендаций, которые привели нас к Уставу Движения, я глубоко заинтересован в том, чтобы это сработало. Не только создание Устава и Глобального Совета, но и других ключевых аспектов рекомендаций, таких как создание региональных хабов и децентрализация власти, чтобы сделать Движение более открытым и соучаствующим.
Я верю, что разработка и принятие Устава Движения будет серьезной задачей. Я считаю, что Редакционная Группа может быть успешной только в том случае, если будет проведен большой, открытый процесс по установлению связей с сообществами и будет создан Устав с учетом их потребностей и стремлений. Свои взгляды на то, как это должно происходить, я подробно изложил здесь. Чтобы этот процесс заработал, мы должны как можно раньше четко определить, «как сообществам будет предложено внести свой вклад» и «как будет проходить процесс разработки/ратификации». У меня большой опыт работы над вопросами управления движением - не только в процессе разработки стратегии. В качестве председателя Викимедиа Великобритания я помогал решать некоторые значительные проблемы управления в этой аффилиации, а также был участником многих предыдущих раундов обсуждений между сообществами (обсуждения сбора средств и распространения средств в 2011-2 годах, Superprotect, FramBan, многочисленные изменения в Фонде за последние 10 лет). Хотя Устав Движения устремлен в будущее, я чувствую, что могу принести с собой некоторые важные «институциональные знания». Я считаю, что Устав движения - и, в конечном счете, Глобальный Совет - будут играть жизненно важную роль для нашего движения в будущем. Если это сработает, то это сможет направить все Движение в правильное русло. Мы сможем начать решать застарелые проблемы недоверия и дисбаланса власти. Но это должно быть сделано правильно. Я считаю, что могу помочь направить этот проект в нужное русло, поэтому я и выдвигаю свою кандидатуру в комитет. Если вы хотите обсудить это, пожалуйста, напишите мне! | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | Since joining wikipedia I have learned many things such as creating, editing and translating articles. I have also attended various wikipedia sessions especially the Movement Charter. | |
| Team collaboration experience | I am participating in preparing various wikimedia swahili programs here in Arusha. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Я очень гибкий и находчивый человек. Даже если что-то меняется в последнюю минуту, я могу приспособиться и уложиться в сжатые сроки. Поэтому я считаю, что это отличная возможность быть членом Редакционного Комитета Устава Движения, чтобы мы могли развивать Википедию и достичь цели к 2030 году, а также поделиться своим опытом и поучиться у других. | |

| 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) | Я участвовал в процессе «Стратегии Викимедиа 2030» с самого его начала в нескольких ролях. Участвуя в разработке окончательных рекомендаций, я твердо убежден, что Устав движения станет важнейшим документом (и руководством) для будущего нашего движения. Поэтому важно отвести ему необходимое место и обеспечить, чтобы на нем работала лучшая из возможных команд.
Я хотел бы привнести свой опыт междисциплинарного Викимедийца, жившего в трех странах, в состав этого Редакционного Комитета. Я связан с несколькими сообществами в движении и стремлюсь поделиться различными перспективами и контекстами, о которых я знаю, чтобы отразить их в нашем глобальном контексте. Разнообразие и инклюзивность являются одними из моих важных движущих сил и обеспечение участия всех наших заинтересованных сторон (включая потенциально будущих) - это то, чего я хотел бы достичь. Как лидер сообщества, я участвовал в нескольких обсуждениях по вопросам управления, а моя докторская диссертация посвящена управлению IoT (Интернета вещей) и содержит целую главу об управлении Википедией. :) Я подтверждаю, что Устав Движения - это очень важный документ (сравнимый с конституцией), и что он должен быть приоритетным для тех, кто может подсоединиться к этой инициативе. Для меня будет честью создать его вместе с командой редакторов. Если у кого-то есть вопрос или кому-то нужна информация от меня, пожалуйста, не стесняйтесь связаться со мной на моей странице обсуждения, и я отвечу вам, как только смогу. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | I worked on an NSF proposal years ago that involved Wikipedia and was supported by the WMF. | |
| Team collaboration experience | I often teach very large courses at the college level sometimes involving a teaching staff of as many as 25 people. While all my work is in English, I work with people from all over the world. During the pandemic I ran meetings online with people from ~10 different time zones. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Мой главный интерес в Википедии - это понятие самоуправления. При всех своих недостатках, я обнаружил, что Английская Википедия имеет очень успешную модель управления, которая редко требует вмешательства извне (это факт, что вмешательство извне часто контрпродуктивен). Для меня удивительно, что почти исключительно волонтерская организация достигла такого успеха. Я считаю, что фокус на справедливости и цивилизованности является ключом к этому успеху.
Я не считаю себя великим писателем, но я сильный редактор, и иногда мне приходится давать отзывы (как по содержанию, так и по писанине) примерно на дюжину 15+ страниц предложений менее чем за неделю. RfC (запросы для дискуссии), которому я подвел итог для английского, вероятно, лучший способ проиллюстрировать мою способность читать и понимать мнения разных сторон ([1] - самый последний). Я буду достаточно занят работой с сентября до середины декабря, и, вероятно, будет пара недель, когда я не смогу выделить 5 часов для этой работы. Это не должно повториться до сентября 2022 года. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | I have been a contributor to Wikipedia since 2015. I joined the Wikimedia user Group Côte d'Ivoire community the same year as I became a volunteer. In 2016 I was assigned as a communicator within the community, mainly in the position of Graphic designer. According to this title I am in charge of the elaboration of any graphic and physical visual communication support within the community in our country. In 2021, I joined the executive board of Wikimedia Côte d'Ivoire, as Deputy General Secretary, where I am in charge of the community's Secretariat. | |
| 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) | С 20-летием своего существования, Википедия превратилась в очень важный канал с собственной механизмом одобрения. Мы многое сделали и нам еще многое предстоит сделать, учитывая, что до достижения целей «Викимедиа 2030» осталось всего 6 лет. Таким образом, учитывая пылкость целей и интенсивность предстоящей работы, необходимо привлекать нужные человеческие ресурсы, чтобы достичь многого. Поэтому потребность в свободных людях, обладающих знаниями о движении, является первостепенной. Что касается меня, то, учитывая опыт приобретенный в моей стране, а также навыки полученные в качестве активного участника в реализации работы над стратегией «Викимедиа 2030», проводимой в Кот-д'Ивуаре, я добровольно участвую в разработке проекта Устава Движения Викимедиа. | |

| 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) | Для меня Устав Движения - это необходимая основа для того, чтобы наше движение, наши усилия по обеспечению свободных знаний и доступа к свободным знаниям были готовы к будущему.
Я глубоко убеждена, что мы должны переосмыслить некоторые вещи, которые мы никогда не ставили под сомнение с результатами. Равенство в принятии решений - вот к чему мы стремимся. Что это означает в соотношении с типами организаций, которые мы создаем, их отношений/зависимости от Фонда Викимедиа и друг от друга, а также роли сообществ в принятии глобальных решений? Мы должны начать дискуссии и сбалансировать интересы, власть и права. Устав Движения заложит основу для новых структур, таких как Глобальный Совет, который должен вновь объединить эти интересы и служить всему движению. Включая вкладчиков и добровольцев, а также наши организации и сотрудников. Насколько я понимаю, редакционная группа собирает вместе необходимые исследования, уже проделанную работу от рабочих групп и эффективный вклад Викимедийцев. Это больше управление, чем создание. Я думаю об итеративных кругах с сообществом, маленькими шагами, не дожидаясь, пока все примет форму, которую трудно изменить. Это может быть самой сложной частью работы. Но я твердо верю, что в нашем движении больше мудрости, чем может быть у группы из 20 человек. И нам нужна вся она, когда мы создаем общую основу для будущего. | |

| 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) | Нам нужно по-настоящему децентрализованное и демократическое движение и я считаю, что могу быть в том состоянии, чтобы помочь продвижению этой цели. Нам нужен важный документ, который гарантирует реальную независимость и ресурсы для сообществ. Я буду опираться на опыт прошлого года, связанный с письмом «COLOR» и глобальными встречами «SWAN», и буду работать над тем, чтобы привлечь участников движения к ответственности с помощью значимого и важного к исполнению документа. Стратегия - это распределение власти и мы не должны делать вид, что это не так. Перед нами справедливый способ распределения ресурсов и достижения консенсуса между многочисленными элементами нашего движения на глобальном уровне.
Поэтому я обещаю придерживаться следующих принципов:
Я верю в итеративный процесс на Вики, управляемый сообществом, а не в то, что написано в черном ящике в темной комнате. Я обязуюсь обеспечить соблюдение этих принципов в процессе и в продукте, и я верю, что у меня есть опыт, дипломатия и нюансы, чтобы быть эффективным в этой задаче. | |

| Team collaboration experience | Collaborated as part of a few WikiProjects, mainly LD, KERALA and POLYMER. I participate in many discussion forums of Wikimedia projects and groups. I am also a happy-to-help person, assisting those looking for help. I have always maintained a welcoming atmosphere. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Я постараюсь придать большое значение обеспечению того, чтобы различные группы людей, включая представителей Глобального Юга и особенно женщин, могли получить доступ к различным проектам Викимедиа и внести в них свой вклад. Это будет включать в себя обеспечение безопасного и доброжелательного сообщества, которое обеспечивает Универсальный Кодекс Поведения.
Викимедиа должна позволить каждому легко вносить свой вклад со смартфонов и с предпочитаемых устройств (настольный компьютер, по моему мнению, имеет гендерный/демографический уклон). Я всегда стремился устранить барьеры на пути к свободным знаниям и уменьшить неправильное обучения, необходимую для участия и внесения вклада. Те, кому нравится пополнять знания, должны иметь возможность делать это, не тратя время на ознакомление с материалами. Все должно быть разработано интуитивно. Правильная коммуникация и документирование - это другие аспекты, которых до сих пор не хватало. Фонду необходимо общаться с сообществами и принимать отзывы различных групп из разных родственных проектов. Редакционный комитет должен включить это. | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | У меня высокие и благородные профессиональные мечты - помочь как можно большему числу уязвимых людей быть в безопасности и счастливыми.
Будучи аспирантом, я буду стремиться овладеть всеми стратегиями, которые наиболее эффективны для продвижения прогрессивных социальных изменений. Быть заботливым человеком - неотъемлемая черта социальной работы, наряду с драйвом и высокой мотивацией, чтобы побудить клиентов полностью реализовать свой потенциал. Социальные работники должны уважать индивидуальность каждого клиента и давать ему возможность двигаться вперед и добиваться улучшений. Полное уважение достоинства клиента способствует формированию чувства ценности, ведущего к самореализации и самоопределению, и помогает вырастить граждан, способных к участию в жизни общества, а не обузу для системы. Борьба с социальной несправедливостью является неотъемлемой частью социальной работы, как я ее понимаю, в дополнение к адвокации, всегда направленной на достижение наилучших результатов для своих клиентов. Я лично считаю, что служить голосом угнетенных должно быть естественным для социальных работников, поскольку они борются за справедливость и прогрессивные изменения в своих сообществах. Хотя работа с отдельными клиентами в микросреде является моей главной и непосредственной целью, я считаю важным никогда не упускать из виду более широкую картину и то, как наши собственные усилия являются частью более широкого движения к более высоким уровням равенства и достоинства в нашем обществе. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | I am a very active Wikimedian from 2015. English and Dagbani Wikipedia are the Wikipedias that I edit most. 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) | Это мой первый раз, когда я подаю заявку на участие в Комитете по стратегии движения, и цель этого - внести свой вклад в поддержку WMF в целом.

| Wikimedia movement experience | Just a newcomer contributor who occasionally chats on several Wikimedia-related Telegram group and participated in several Wikimedia Online Meeting (ESEAP, Movement Charter, Universal Code of Conduct) | |
| Team collaboration experience | I'm already involved with several social/tech movement outside Wikimedia before. For example: Knowledge Management Research Group: Pustaka , [:https://pustaka.miraheze.org/wiki/Tempat-Tempat Tempat Tempat Project] , usaha.click, and [://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Main_Page OpenStreetMap Foundation]. Inside Wikimedia, i and several fellow participants at Indonesian Wikidata Datathon 2021 founded Komunitas Wikidata Indonesia (Indonesian Wikidata Community) to coordinate our effort. We work together to improve Wikidata items related to Indonesian topics in general. In addition, we also focus on translating other Wikidata items into Indonesian language. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Самая большая сила Викимедиа - это талант, преданность и честность ее участников. Мы должны учитывать разнообразие людей в наших сообществах, включая наши особые интересы, мотивы и вклад. Некоторые из нас пишут статьи. Некоторые из нас разрабатывают программное обеспечение. Некоторые из нас жертвуют деньги, время или опыт. Некоторые курируют данные, источники или СМИ. Некоторые организуют мероприятия, выступают за реформу авторского права или делают ремиксы произведений искусства. Некоторые являются общественными организаторами, преподавателями или редакторами. Некоторые из нас делают все вышеперечисленное и даже больше. Нас объединяет не то, что мы делаем, а то, почему мы это делаем. Мы все являемся частью этого движения, потому что разделяем веру в то, что свободные знания делают мир лучше. Каждый человек заслуживает легкого доступа к знаниям. И каждый человек должен иметь возможность участвовать в сборе и распространении своих собственных знаний.
Но мы все еще далеки от того, чтобы собрать всю сумму знаний. Большая часть созданного нами контента представлена в виде длинных статей энциклопедий и фотографий, что оставляет за бортом многие другие виды знаний. Наши нынешние сообщества не представляют всего многообразия человеческой популяции. Это отсутствие представительства и разнообразия привело к пробелам в знаниях и системным предубеждениям. Читатели часто сомневаются в достоверности создаваемого нами контента, в частности, потому, что он не точен, не всеобъемлющ, не нейтрален, или потому, что они не понимают, как и кем он создается. Низкий барьер для входа, существовавший в первые годы нашей работы, теперь стал непреодолимым для многих новичков. Некоторые сообщества, культуры и меньшинства пострадали от этого отчуждения больше, чем другие. Токсичное поведение и преследования негативно сказались на участии в наших проектах. Другие виды вклада, помимо редактирования, не признаются столь же ценными, а структуры нашего движения часто непрозрачны или централизованы, с высокими барьерами для входа. Нам даже следовало бы измениться и внедрить инновации в наши услуги, пока не стало слишком поздно. Многие читатели теперь ожидают мультимедийных форматов, помимо текста и изображений. Люди хотят получать контент в режиме реального времени, визуальный и поддерживающий социальный обмен и общение. Мы должны решить все эти проблемы, чтобы улучшить наше движение. Я надеюсь, что Хартия движения сможет решить эти вопросы. | |

Locally, I contributed to the creation of the Cameroon User Group with other founding members; so we have worked on setting up all the procedures leading to affiliation and laying the foundations for the future. The Wiki Loves Women project opened the doors for me to the Wikimedia movement; I worked extensively with both the principal coordinators of the project and the national coordinators of countries such as Nigeria, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire.

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Мое желание - помочь создать Хартию Движения, которая не будет ограничивать отдельных людей, сообщества, организации, но будет разделять подотчетность и ответственность, а также обеспечивать равные возможности для участия в принятии решений и распределении ресурсов. Наличие навыков межкультурной коммуникации (английский и игбо) означает, что я смогу активно взаимодействовать с английским сообществом и сообществом Игбо Викимедиа и передать их проблемы с уставом движения.
Мой опыт работы в качестве научного сотрудника в институте государственной и общественной политики расширил мой кругозор в области управления, менеджмента организации, руководства советом директоров, юридических действий, документирования и реализации политики и других необходимых знаний. Это помогло мне успешно разработать подзаконные акты с консультациями соответствующих органов власти для работы центра Викимедиа.

Of particular note is the work of the Roles & Responsibilities strategy team, the FDC, and the Arbitration Committee, whose success was dependent on collaborative work. Although less visible, there is also significant collaboration amongst both the local and global CheckUser group; and as part of the Arbitration Committee and later as an oversighter, I have worked with local oversighters to create and maintain a highly collaborative and mutually supportive environment. | |
| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Мой личный опыт отличается от опыта многих других кандидатов. Я всегда считала себя в первую очередь редактором, интересующимся глобальными организационными аспектами движения Викимедиа, а не членом какой-либо конкретной группы. Я являюсь участником Викимедиа уже более 16 лет и имею очень широкий опыт работы как на местном, так и на глобальном уровне. Я знаком со многими историческими событиями, которые повлияли на развитие движения в течение многих лет, и хорошо понимаю чувствительность различных секций движения.
Моя нынешняя и прошлая деятельность в движении убедила меня в необходимости сотрудничества, взаимодействия и компромисса для достижения более широких целей. Я понимаю, что редакционный комитет не сможет удовлетворить все ожидания всех своих членов, не говоря уже об ожиданиях каждого члена движения; однако я верю, что, работая вместе, мы сможем достичь баланса, который найдет признание у нашего широкого мирового сообщества. Я твердо убежден, что отдельные проекты - Википедии, Сообщества, WIkidata, Wikisource и многие другие "сестринские" проекты - являются центральным элементом движения, а инфраструктура движения должна быть разработана таким образом, чтобы помочь этим проектам расти и развиваться здоровым образом. Я не являюсь и никогда не являлся членом какой-либо членской организации Викимедиа; тем не менее, моя работа над ФДК и проектом стратегии 2030 привила мне глубокое и неизменное уважение к этим организациям и их ценности для движения в целом, поскольку они являются важными аспектами инфраструктуры поддержки проектов. | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Я не могу не подчеркнуть, что все, что мы делаем, - это совместная работа. Я верю в добросовестность и даю людям возможность учиться, расти и совершать ошибки, независимо от того, как долго они вносят свой вклад, но я признаю, что должны быть пределы, когда действия перестают быть ошибкой и становятся характерной чертой. Устав Движения должен стать основой для того, кто мы, что мы делаем и почему мы это делаем. Приоритеты, которые я вижу в уставе, заключаются в обеспечении защиты анонимности, равенства в доступе для каждого через возможность участия в разумное местное время и на том языке, который им наиболее удобен. Необходимо учитывать нюансы каждого языка и то, как он переводится, чтобы убедиться, что концепции представлены одинаково для всех. Равенство начинается с формулировки устава, которая должна быть способна нести те же принципы через каждую итерацию перевода. | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | Как викимедианец, я всегда верил, что знания - это единственная вещь, которая растет тем больше, чем больше ею делятся. И как человек я знаю, что лучшие действия - это те, которые имеют четкие, краткие и множественные основы и правила. Этот процесс разработки требует людей с различными менталитетами и точками зрения, и в то же время он похож на движение Викимедиа. Я всегда буду искать лучший способ сотрудничества во имя общих интересов, особенно путем продвижения свободных знаний. Я намерен применить свои навыки, сотрудничая с другими участниками для развития движения Викимедиа. | |

Soon, I started to organize edit-a-thons to tackle the gender gap on Wikipedia.
After my graduation, I became a Wikimedian in Residence at the Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (RIDC NeuroMat), in which I researched Computational Journalism and Wikidata. This led me to develop the Mbabel tool.
I’m a Wiki Movimento Brasil liaison. In my professional capacity, I serve as Communications Manager for the affiliate, which means that I’m involved in community support and consultations, partnership building and Wikimedia outreach. I’m also leading the development of WMB’s own strategy based on the Movement Strategy recommendations.
I’m a member of the Diversity Committee responsible for the elaboration and the implementation of WMB’s diversity plan.
I’m the organization lead for the Brazilian team organizing WikidataCon with Wikimedia Deutschland this year. In this process, I’m also responsible for the Reimagining Wikidata from the margins project.
I’ve been involved in the organization of dozens of activities to tackle diversity gaps on Wikipedia in Portuguese and I’m currently acting to create a Lusophone women user group. | Team collaboration experience = I’m an active listener and a non-violent communicator. I’ve been building bridges among different stakeholders and the Wikimedia community for the last years, which wouldn’t be possible without cooperation and teamwork abilities.
I have experience with high level stress/low resource environments and in decision making, especially in the field of Human Rights. I’m a former Communications Adviser for a NGO dedicated to migrants and refugees in a marginalized part of my city, from which I’ve learned how to properly collaborate with people from different contexts and how to fight for their rights.
Earlier this year, I was one of the organizers of the Festa da Wiki-Lusofonia - Wikipedia 20’s celebration - and engaged several user groups and projects on activities and strategic discussions.
| Statement = Настало время определить, каким мы хотим быть как движение с этого момента. Это основная цель, которую мы поставили перед собой для [[обеспечения равенства в принятии решений. Бразилия (как и другие недопредставленные сообщества) систематически исключалась и лишалась прав и возможностей из стратегических процессов, и мы хотим изменить этот сценарий, способствуя устойчивости и эффективному управлению Движением Викимедиа в долгосрочной перспективе. Все начинается сейчас.
Чтобы двигаться дальше, нам необходимо определить общую основу принципов и практики принятия решений, а также разработать механизмы справедливого глобального представительства и значимого, расширяющего возможности местных сообществ участия. Как процесс, основанный на участии и ориентированный на сообщество, Диаграмма движения будет воплощать дух Викимедиа и обеспечивать необходимую основу для движения Викимедиа.
Мы должны учиться на достигнутом и вместе представлять себе будущее, в котором мы хотим жить. Например, необходимо четко определить роли и обязанности, поскольку прозрачность является ключевым фактором для процедур и обсуждений нашего движения. Будучи представителем недопредставленного сообщества, я знаю, что процедуры и обсуждения должны расширять возможности и быть структурированы таким образом, чтобы способствовать смягчению неравных возможностей участия в экосистеме открытых знаний.
Успех Устава Движения - воплощения обсуждений и практики процесса стратегии Викимедиа 2030 - зависит от нашей способности глубоко вовлечь наши разнообразные сообщества в процесс разработки. Этот основополагающий документ не будет успешным только благодаря актуальности его содержания и приверженности его первоначальных составителей; он должен быть совместной работой всех заинтересованных сторон, то есть он должен быть сделан в стиле вики. }} |

| 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) | Я был частью Викимедиа слишком долго. Я помню, когда Википедия была радикальным экспериментом, который никто не воспринимал всерьез. Но мы все равно продолжали. Прошло двадцать лет, и теперь на Википедию смотрят как на один из последних бастионов надежной беспристрастной информации. Я считаю это огромной неудачей нашего общества в том, что оно не воспринимает такую работу всерьез как приоритет, но это также свидетельствует о силе и устойчивости движения Викимедиа. Движения, которое органично построено вокруг общего убеждения в важности обмена информацией. Движение, для участия в котором не нужно формально вступать в ассоциацию.
С уставом движения перед нами встала задача разработать структуру управления для движения Викимедиа. Децентрализованное движение, которое исторически сопротивлялось большинству форм консолидации и навязывания иерархии. Это особенность нашего движения, а не недостаток. Но без формально признанного института, такого как Глобальный совет, мы остаемся с различными разрозненными структурами власти, которые благоприятствуют хорошо организованным и обеспеченным ресурсами. На практике это приводит к тому, что волонтеры чувствуют, что они не имеют никакого контроля над тем, что делает Фонд Викимедиа, даже когда Фонд тратит миллионы долларов на улучшение отношений с сообществом. Система может в какой-то мере работать, но будет сохраняться убеждение, что это не так. Если комитет по разработке устава движения добьется успеха, он создаст новую политическую систему, которой так не хватало: организованное противодействие Фонду Викимедиа. Даже при самых благих намерениях нынешнее устройство с несколькими крупными организациями и множеством плохо организованных волонтерских сообществ неизбежно приведет к конфликтам. Существуют искренние разногласия по поводу того, что должно быть приоритетным и почему, и, учитывая то, как распределяются средства, люди будут воспринимать этот процесс как несправедливый. И я, честно говоря, не думаю, что корпоративная иерархия, подобная иерархии Фонда, хорошо подходит для таких движений, как наше; это отражается в скорости, с которой Фонд Викимедиа вносит улучшения в проекты. Я считаю, что это три главных приоритета для устава движения:

| Team collaboration experience | As a board member of Wikimedia Taiwan, I worked as a volunteer manager for Taiwan Wikiproject Med for three years, also assist the Taiwanese community and WMTW can have better conversations/ cooperation with international Wiki communities and involve in more movements. 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) | 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. I would also like to contribute my efforts for us to be heard. | |

| 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. | |

As a community coordinator and organizer, I represented and served as a presenter at the Philippine WikiConference (2012-2013). Currently, I am the Board Treasurer and the committee chair in GLAM and Education. Prior to this, I have served as a community coordinator (2012-15; 2015-2017), and chairman/president of PhilWiki Community (2018-2020).

| 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 | 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. | |

| 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. I always launch discussions to launch projects or activities wherever I am. | |
| 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 experienced wikipedia editor with most of my contributions from hausa & english wikipedia. 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. | |

| 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. | |

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 | 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. | |

| 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. | |

| 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. | |

| 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. | |

| 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. | |

| 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?”. | |

| 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 | 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 | I have collaborated with all kinds of different teams at various stages off-wiki, including but not limited to:
| |
| 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 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. | |

| Wikimedia movement experience | Started off as an editor on Punjabi Wikipedia creating content about Forensic Science. Later expanded to Hindi. As a teacher at University, I engaged my students, started planning activities, events & realising my inclination towards outreach & engagement, later moved to designing programs, initiatives and building institutional collaborations with support of other affiliate members in India. Some of the programs organized in collaboration with fellow wikimedians & regional communities are- WikiConference India 2016, Strategy Salon Patiala, 2017, Women TTT 2019, WikiGap 2019, Armenian-Indian collaboration/2019, Wiki4Women 2020, Syberthon 2020, WikiGap-Wiki4Womxn 2021 (India). I have been a resource person to- Train the Trainer 2017, Wiki Awareness Campaign Karnal 2018, Wikigraphists Bootcamp (2018 India), Train the Trainer 2018, Wiki Advanced Training 2018, Strategy Youth Salon 2019, TWLCon (2019 India).
Apart from this, I have shared my work with fellow wikimedians during Conference(s), Summit(s), training(s) and have also been a part of some panels like- Women in the Wikimedia movement for in-depth discussions on experiences, challenges and learning. I am also the Co-founder of first affiliate in India, Punjabi Wikimedians UG. | |
| Team collaboration experience | In addition to the shared details, organized a campaign, Wiki Women for Women Wellbeing 2018 bringing together 10 language communities in India with an intent to explore and promote women leadership in different languages (in India), thus helping in bridging the gender gap along with the usual accomplishment of content creation. 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). | |

| 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. | |

| 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. My intention is to contribute to the drafting of a text that will be endorsed by the communities. This, I believe, will need to be an iterative process of community consultation. The committee will produce texts in several rounds and gather feedback from the communities - and other stakeholders. I will work to ensure that it will be an open consultation process based on making consent decisions. In the feedback rounds, anyone may object to parts of the text. For the Charter to eventually be ratified, the committee must have resolved any insurmountable objections before anyone is asked to ratify the text. | |

| Statement (not more than 400 words) | The Tech / News translation brought my attention to the global existence of the Wikipedia Movement. This global movement can be beneficial and enriching for a person and the movement can function as another dimension in addition to just contributing and editing some articles in some local Wikipedia. Technology serves man, not man technology. Technology is a means. What will happen in the future depends on today's actions and not only actions with short term effects or just looking at oneself and one’s actions. I like to have a perspective on the whole whole, ie. What are the trends and what are the characteristics. Just as technology and the presence of articles are needed in the Movement, so are people. Young people are our gift / opportunity. | |

* 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) | Wikimedia are the most successful novel knowledge institution and the distributed organization in the world. 8 billion people need us: both as an access to convenient, free, structured arts and information - but also as an empowerment to create, edit and self-govern. After 20 years, we need to ensure our achievements will be constantly improved and passed to further audiences and generations. While we reinvent ourselves to serve the world better, we should build on the sources of our greatness and uniqueness, and fill in large gaps which we still have.
I believe in empowered individuals and their associations, in the wisdom flowing from their diversity, and the motivation stemming from the equitable treatment. I also believe in the diversity of the approaches and organizations, empowerment of affiliates, in their equity and adaptability to local contexts and future needs. Wikipedia taught us that self-governance, grassroot and partnership prevailed over centralization and strict hierarchies; similar lessons come from great initiatives of the individuals, groups, chapters and the teams of the WMF. By 2030, we need to be less centralized and more attentive to local ideas, opportunities and needs. We need to operate as a much wider graph of successful organizations, developing and testing new ways to serve the needs of their audiences. We need to create a better space for collaboration and invention, for leadership and learning, for Wikimedians from the past, and the Wikimedians of the future. I believe, that both my Wikimedia experience of an editor, affiliate person and grant assessor, as well as my education and professional experience (economics/psychology/MBA working in risk/finance) help me to recognize the needs of particular community members, bring valuable perspective and help coin the great charter. | |
