| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | (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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

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

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | Started editing in 2020 with Wiki Editoras Lx, since then I have participated in several events promoted by various wikipedia groups, including wikimedia portugal and Wiki Movimento Brasil | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | I'm a member of Wiki Editoras Lx that is a group of women that tries to fix the gender gap in portuguese wikipedia by creating articles about women and at the same time teaching new editors. i was in the team that organized Festa da Wiki-Lusofonia (2021); | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | I'm not sure what to write here. I decided to apply because I fell in love with the project.I'm a relatively new editor on wikipedia and i think that the Movement Charter is crucial, so that it doesn´t lose the foundations on which it rests and doesn't lose sight of the goal which is to share knowledge. | |

| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | Je suis une personne motivée, et heureuse de servir la fondation Wikimedia. Au cours de mes études universitaires, j'ai acquis des connaissances en communication de soutien au développement ; j'ai acquis des connaissances sur différents aspects et approches de la communication, notamment la communication de groupe, la communication participative, les consultations communautaires et la communication interculturelle.
Je suis disponible pour l'activité et promets d'agir dans l'intérêt du mouvement Wikimedia, dans le respect du Code de Conduite Universel, et en suivant les recommandations de la direction stratégique et de la stratégie du mouvement. En effet, après différentes participations aux événements du mouvement Wikimedia, je développe des compétences dans les projets Wikimedia et envisage de progresser. Dans mes activités professionnelles, j'ai réalisé une base de données cohérente, pour coordonner différents acteurs, pour trouver des compromis.

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | Je suis actif dans les projets Wikimedia depuis 2013. J'édite Wikipédia sur plusieurs langues, et contribue à lancer de nouvelles versions dans des langues insuffisamment dotées en ressources également. Je suis cofondateur de Wikimedia Morocco User group (membre du conseil d'administration), Groupe d'utilisateurs Wikimédien.ne.s Tamazight, et Groupe d'utilisateurs Wikimédien.ne.s arabes. J'ai participé activement à différents projets et initiatives, notamment en tant que membre du groupe de travail Wikimedia 2030 (plaidoyer), strategy liaison pour la langue arabe. (WMF - contractuel), membre du transition design group, et membre du connectors group, participant à la rédaction des recommandations finales de 2030. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | J'ai participé à plusieurs expériences de collaboration en équipe au sein de notre mouvement à différents niveaux. Localement, j'ai été coordinateur de projets pour Wikimedia Maroc pendant plusieurs années, et le coprésident de la conférence WikiArabia en 2019. Au niveau international, j'ai été le responsable des bénévoles pour Wikimania 2019 à Stockholm, et j'ai été membre du comité de programme et du comité des bourses lors de nombreuses conférences locales et régionales. Je suis également membre du comité "Simple Annual Plan Grants".
En ce qui concerne la stratégie, j'ai collaboré avec des wikimédien.ne.s de tous horizons, en tant que membre d'un groupe de travail, mais aussi lors des différentes conférences, projets et événements où nous nous sommes rencontrés. Cela m'a donné un aperçu important et une expérience précieuse sur la façon de collaborer entre les cultures, dans des fuseaux horaires différents, et aussi sur la façon de gérer différentes façons de travailler, tout en parvenant à produire le résultat souhaité. Par ailleurs, j'ai une expérience professionnelle de plus de 8 ans en tant que chef de projet, et mon quotidien est fait de collaboration en équipe. J'ai travaillé sur des projets dans les domaines de l'informatique, des télécommunications, de la santé, du secteur public, de la finance, avec plusieurs équipes et entreprises dans le monde entier. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | J'ai été impliqué dans le processus de la stratégie Wikimedia 2030 depuis le début, avec plusieurs casquettes. Ayant participé à la rédaction des recommandations finales, je suis fermement convaincu que la Charte du mouvement sera un document (et un guide) crucial pour l'avenir de notre mouvement. Il est donc important de lui donner la place dont elle a besoin, et de s'assurer que la meilleure équipe possible y travaillera.
J'aimerais apporter mon expérience, en tant que wikimédien pluridisciplinaire, qui a vécu dans trois pays, pour faire partie de ce comité de rédaction. Je suis connecté à plusieurs communautés du mouvement, et je m'efforce de partager les différentes perspectives et contextes dont je suis consciente, afin de les refléter dans notre contexte mondial. La diversité et l'inclusion font partie de mes principaux moteurs, et je voudrais m'assurer que toutes nos parties prenantes (y compris les éventuelles futures parties prenantes) y participent. En tant que leader dans la communauté, j'ai participé à plusieurs discussions sur la gouvernance. Ma thèse de doctorat porte sur la gouvernance de l'IdO (Internet des objets) et contient un chapitre complet sur la gouvernance de Wikipédia. :) Je réitère mon affirmation que la Charte du Mouvement est un document très important (comparable à une constitution), et qu'elle doit être une priorité pour ceux qui peuvent se joindre à cette initiative. Je serai honoré de la construire avec l'équipe de rédaction. Si quelqu'un a une question ou a besoin d'une information de ma part, n'hésitez pas à me contacter sur ma page de discussions, et je vous répondrai dès que possible. | |

Prior to this, I have served as a community coordinator (2012-15; 2015-2017), and chairman/president of PhilWiki Community (2018-2020).
As a project lead, I implemented different campaigns including WikiGap Campaign in the Philippines (2019-2020), Wiki Loves Monuments in the Philippines (2018-2020), Wiki Takes the City (2012 and 2015/16), and the Community celebration of the 20th year of Wikipedia (2020) in Naga City, and Bikol Wikipedia's 1st (2008), 5th (2012), 10th (2017) and 13th year (2020). In the advocacy campaign, I was invited and talked in various fora promoting the activities of the organization and answering relevant issues related to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement. Among these engagements are: at the Bicol Region Librarians Council (BRLC)'s Regional Conference on Reinventing Library Management in the 21st Century (2012), Boses ni Lolo guest Wikipedian on DWRN 657khz (2015) and DWRJ 96.1 (2016), Ini An Totoo DWOK 97.5 TV program on the Mother Tongue-based Multilingual Education policy under the K-12 Curriculum of the Department of Education (DepEd) and Wikimedia Movement (2019), Language Month episode of Abogado Juan "Hapot mo, Simbag ko" on Home Radio 95.1 (2020), WikiGAP: Closing the Digital Gender Gap discussion sponsored by Developh Community (2021), and Wiki Loves Earth and Wikimedia Commons Workshop at the Pagkarahay Art Festival (2021). I am most active on my local Wikipedia and spend some of my time contributing on Commons and Incubator. I used to be an admin on Bikol Wikipedia and on Bikol Wiktionary. Currently, I am working on Bikol Wikisource and Rinconada Bikol Wikipedia. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | I am actively involved in various collaborations on and offline in different capacity. As a project team member, I served as the event manager of Wiki Loves Earth in the Philippines (2018-2020). I also served as a final jury in Wiki Loves Monuments in Armenia (2020), and Wiki Loves Earth in Armenia (2020), and the local coordinator of WPWP Campaign (2020) and Wikipedia Asian Month (2018-2020) on Bikol Wikipedia. In 2018, I was part of the communications committee of the ESEAP Conference held in Bali, Indonesia.
As a mentor and volunteer, I taught new editors and participants at workshops such as at the Open Web Day - University of Nueva Caceres (2013), Rinconada Bikol Wikipedia Edit-a-thon (2016) held at Iriga City Public Library, WikiTutorial (2018) held at Central Bicol State University of Agriculture, a teacher's training workshop of Department of Education - Division of Catanduanes (2019), and WPWP in the Philippines at CBSUA (2021). As a participant, I am proud to have finished 6th over-all in the WikiGap Challenge (2020), and to be recognized among the participants as "meritevoli di menzione" at the Wikipedia 20 concorso di testi poetici by WikiDonne. Together with other global community leaders, I participated in the 2019 Training of Trainers which developed my organizing and leadership skills. Recently, I have been an active participant in the Wiki Loves Art mural painting activities of PhilWiki Community in partnership with Kintab Artists Group promoting Wikimedia and Wikipedia in Education at different public schools and a state university. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | ESEAP has to have representation in the drafting of the Movement Charter. Being deeply involved in the movement for quite some time now, I believe I have something to share. To be part of a diverse, and vibrant pool of passionate advocates of free knowledge, is one great opportunity and challenge. | |

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

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

Twice elected to the Funds Dissemination Committee, also member of the Resource Allocation Wikimedia strategy working group. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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.

| Expérience à travailler en équipe | A 45-year career of professional involvement with information technology teams, as well as a track record as a mediator in the English Wikipedia | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | I am not sure that there is or should be a Wikimedia movement in the sense of a social movement for change or improvement. The editors and users of Wikimedia servers and systems make up an interlocking set of communities, a community of communities tied together by maintaining a set of electronic libraries. My objective as a candidate for the Movement Charter Drafting Committee is to represent that practical idea of an electronic community of communities that maintain and build free knowledge. The Wikimedia communities should be self-governing, and should govern rather than be governed by the Wikimedia Foundation. The Movement Charter Drafting Committee should draft an overall charter for a community of editors of multiple electronic libraries, rather than of any sort of movement for social change. The Charter Drafting Committee should focus on the quality of the electronic libraries that the communities are maintaining, not any other social objective, and should write a charter that provides full self-government, with minimal involvement by the Foundation. | |

| Expérience à travailler en équipe | Je faisais partie du groupe de travail rôles et responsabilités de la stratégie, qui a développé l'idée d'une Charte du Mouvement. Il s'agissait d'une équipe interculturelle et multilingue avec un gros travail à faire - tout comme le sera le Comité de Rédaction. Dans cette situation, je suis très conscient de mon propre privilège en tant que locuteur natif de l'anglais, et je prends soin d'encourager et de soutenir les autres pour qu'ils puissent exprimer leurs points de vue et apporter leur contribution. Je suis également conscient de l'importance de la communication avec les communautés de projet. J'ai été l'un des rares membres du groupe de travail à prendre part aux discussions en ligne concernant les projets de recommandations.
J'ai été président de Wikimedia UK à une époque où le chapitre connaissait de nombreux changements. Pendant mon mandat, nous avons fait l'objet d'une Governance évaluation et nous avons mis en œuvre ses conclusions, notamment en rendant notre conseil d'administration beaucoup plus diversifié et inclusif. C'était la première fois qu'une organisation Wikimedia demandait une évaluation professionnelle détaillée de sa gouvernance. La mise en œuvre de ses conclusions a nécessité beaucoup de diplomatie, de tact et de détermination. J'ai également participé à des dizaines d'autres groupes de bénévoles - des grandes organisations caritatives aux petits comités de bénévoles, dans des domaines allant des campagnes politiques à la recherche médicale en passant par les orchestres dans lesquels je joue du violon. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | En tant que l'un des auteurs des recommandations initiales qui ont abouti à la Charte du Mouvement, je tiens beaucoup à ce que cela fonctionne. Pas seulement la création de la Charte et du Conseil mondial, mais aussi les autres aspects clés des recommandations, comme la création de hubs régionaux et la décentralisation du pouvoir pour rendre le Mouvement plus ouvert et participatif.
Je pense que la rédaction et l'acceptation de la Charte du Mouvement sera un défi important. Je pense que le groupe de rédaction ne pourra réussir que s'il y a un processus ouvert et de grande envergure pour atteindre les communautés et construire la Charte à partir de leurs besoins et aspirations. J'ai exposé plus longuement ici mon point de vue sur la façon dont cela devrait fonctionner. Pour que ce processus fonctionne, nous devons être le plus tôt possible clairs sur comment les communautés seront sollicitées et comment le processus de développement / ratification fonctionnera. J'ai une grande expérience de travail sur les questions de gouvernance du mouvement - pas seulement dans le processus de stratégie. En tant que président de Wikimedia UK, j'ai aidé à résoudre certains problèmes de gouvernance importants dans ce chapitre, et j'ai également participé à de nombreux échanges précédents entre les communautés (les discussions sur la collecte de fonds et la diffusion des fonds en 2011-2, Superprotect, FramBan, les nombreux changements à la WMF au cours des 10 dernières années). Alors que la Charte du mouvement est tournée vers l'avenir, je pense pouvoir apporter avec moi des 'connaissances institutionnelles' importantes. Je pense que la Charte du Mouvement - et finalement le Conseil mondial - jouera un rôle vital pour notre mouvement à l'avenir. S'ils fonctionnent, alors le mouvement tout entier pourra aller dans la bonne direction. Nous pourrons commencer à nous attaquer aux problèmes de longue date que sont la méfiance et les déséquilibres de pouvoir. Mais cela doit être fait correctement. Je pense pouvoir contribuer à orienter ce projet dans la bonne direction, c'est pourquoi je me présente au comité. Si vous souhaitez discuter, n'hésitez pas à m'envoyer un message! | |

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

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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.

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:

| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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. :) ) | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | Je suis actif dans le mouvement communautaire depuis 2004, et j'ai été administrateur sur la Wikipédia anglaise et Meta-Wiki, et auparavant sur Commons également. Mon premier domaine d'édition était WikiProject New York City, que j'ai lancé, et mon tout premier article était U Thant Island, sur une obscure petite île urbaine à l'histoire fascinante. J'ai essayé d'équilibrer le local et le global, à la fois dans mon édition et dans l'organisation de la communauté.
J'ai été actif dans les groupes organisés suivants, entre autres :

Outre les initiatives COLOR et SWAN, j'ai également essayé de favoriser la compréhension de la communauté mondiale par le biais de Wikipedia Weekly Network au cours de l'année écoulée, et plus particulièrement pour le 20e anniversaire avec Wiki 20 Countdown/Asia-Pacific et Wiki 20 Countdown/Africa. | |

Je m'appuierai sur l'expérience de l'année dernière avec la lettre COLOR et les réunions mondiales SWAN, et je m'efforcerai de demander des comptes aux acteurs du mouvement avec un document significatif et applicable. La stratégie est une question de distribution du pouvoir et nous ne devrions pas prétendre que ce n'est pas le cas. Ce que nous recherchons, c'est une manière équitable de répartir les ressources et d'établir un consensus entre les nombreux éléments de notre mouvement au niveau mondial.
Par conséquent, je m'engage à respecter ces principes :
Je crois en un processus itératif sur wiki piloté par la communauté, et non en quelque chose d'écrit dans une boîte noire dans une salle obscure. Je m'engagerai à assurer ces principes dans le processus et dans le produit, et je crois que j'ai l'expérience, la diplomatie et la nuance pour être efficace dans cette tâche. | |

Aujourd'hui, Wikipédia a 20 ans et nous ne sommes plus qu'à 9 ans de Wikimédia 2030. Il ne reste plus beaucoup d'année étant donné la quantité de travail qu'il reste à faire pour arriver en 2030. Nous avons donc besoin de personnes ayant une certaine connaissance de la stratégie du mouvement et qui sont disponibles pour nous aider à avancer dans cette phase de mise en œuvre. J'ai été impliqué dans la stratégie à la fois en tant qu'organisateur de salons (en RDCongo) et en tant que participant (en Afrique de l'Est, en Ouganda). Cela fait de moi un excellent candidat pour le Comité de rédaction de la Charte du mouvement. | |

| Expérience à travailler en équipe | In 1994 I founded Electronic Frontiers Australia and was on its board, first as chair, then as board member for several years. During that time I was the EFA representative on the Global Internet Liberty Campaign. With others I was responsible for drafting several of the GILC statements that were subsequently signed by many of the GILC member organisations. On en.wikipedia was part of an ad-hoc team that merged Template:Family tree into Template:Tree chart. This involved editing every template and page that used the former template to check and if necessary make minor changes so that the template use did not break. | |

| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | Après un faux départ en 2012, je suis tombé dans le terrier du lapin en 2018 et je suis actif depuis. L'un de mes domaines les plus actifs est celui d'agent d'intervention OTRS (maintenant VRT), travaillant principalement avec les personnes qui n'ont absolument aucune expérience Wikimedia, aidant à naviguer dans ce qui peut être un processus nettement byzantin. Je suis également devenu un administrateur en-wiki en 2019, ce qui était également à peu près le moment où je suis devenu très actif dans le côté stratégie du mouvement. Cela s'est traduit par la participation à chaque phase de presque toutes les recommandations, les discussions sur la hiérarchisation, l'UCoC et toutes les discussions que nous avons eues pour mettre en œuvre la stratégie 2030. J'ai également aidé à trouver un compromis pour la méthode de sélection pour le Comité de Rédaction de la Charte du Mouvement. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | L'essentiel de ma carrière a consisté à travailler en tant que analyste stratégique pour une multinationale - une petite équipe dont la mission principale est de recueillir les différents points de vue et priorités d'une douzaine d'unités commerciales différentes, puis d'élaborer une stratégie viable qui puisse être acceptée par tous. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | Je me suis demandé quoi mettre ici - chacun semble avoir son propre point de vue sur l'utilisation de la déclaration, mais j'ai pensé que vous voudriez savoir ce que je ferais réellement si j'étais choisi (même si c'est de façon succincte).
Il s'agit d'un processus crucial, mais nous devons faire en sorte qu'il soit le moins possible lié aux rédacteur.trice.s spécifiques et le plus possible lié aux points de vue de la Communauté (en insistant sur le pluriel). Nous ne devrions pas essayer de faire passer une position controversée avec un soutien de 51%, et je ne le ferais pas. Je suis un fervent partisan de la "subsidiarité", c'est-à-dire que tout ce qui peut être fait au niveau le plus large (les communautés locales et la méta-communauté) doit l'être.
Enfin, je suis ouvert à tous les types de questions, quel que soit leur niveau. S'il finit par y avoir un obstacle au niveau du processus formel, demandez-moi sur ma page de discussions. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | As someone who truly believes that the administrative system of Wikimedia should be taken as *not a big deal*, I could'nt imagine my self being a candidate here. But I just changed my idea, realising that there are thousands of people around the world keeping writing articles, spreading free knowledge, and not caring Wikimedia politics at all, just like me. They may not care, but should be cared. So here I am. My objective is to represent the idea of decentralization. There're flowers in my home, just beside my computer. I grow flowers, or flowers grow? I think the latter way. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | Through the last 13 years, I've gained a very wide & diverse experience in various Wikimedia projects as a volunteer, an admin, an AffCom member and recently a part time Contractor. I have almost 19,000 edits and around 850 articles created and translated by me. I've founded the Iraqi Wikimedians User Group back in 2015, the first user group in Iraq, I also co-founded Wikiwomen Prize Competition in 2015. I've created and managed various editathons and workshops, as well as helped in founding Sorani Kurdish User group. I organized WLM competition for Iraq for 3 years. I'm very well engaged in the movement current strategy implementation discussions, further more as I worked for last year a contractor in the foundation, I've gained valuable knowledge about what communities need and where the movement need to get directed? | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | I have been a supportive team member in several teams within Wikimedia movement. I've coordinating projects for Wikimedia Iraq for several years. On wider level, I was an admin in Arabic Wikipedia for 3 years & have served as an Affcom member engaging with different affiliates and communities. As I participated since 2008 in more than 15 local and international Wikimedian conferences, I've gained amazing friends from around the globe. therefore, according to accumulative and continuous discussions, I've built a valuable skill of collaboration with different cultures effectively. On a professional & personal level, I have a 10+ years professional experience of managing teams & projects. I have worked in projects in Telecommunications, Oil & gas Industry, NGO organizations, Electronics companies around the world. | |

My time spent in this movement has prepared me for such an opportunity, and I sincerely hope I can contribute in drafting the most important document in the future of the movement. I have wide and detailed knowledge about underrepresented communities which I believe it will be very crucial in the process of bringing all the point of views on the table while drafting the charter. It will be an honor to participate in this drafting committee and I'm fully committed to help on that. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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) | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | The greatest strength of Wikimedia is the talent, dedication and integrity of its members. We should accomodate the diversity of the people in our communities, including our particular interests, motivations and contributions. Some of us write articles. Some of us develop software. Some of us donate money, time or expertise. Some curate data, sources, or media. Some organize events, advocate for copyright reform, or remix artwork. Some are community organizers, educators, or copy editors. Some of us do all of the above, and more. What brings us together is not what we do, it's why we do it. We are all part of this movement because we share a belief that free knowledge makes the world a better place. Every human being deserves easy access to knowledge. And every human should have an opportunity to participate in compiling and sharing back their own knowledge.
But, we are still far from having collected the sum of all knowledge. Most of content we have created is in the form of long-form encyclopedia articles and still images, which leaves out many other types of knowledge. Our current communities don't represent the diversity of the human population. This lack of representation and diversity has created gaps of knowledge and systemic biases. Readers often question the reliability of the content we create, notably because it is not accurate, not comprehensive, not neutral, or because they don't understand how it is produced and by whom. The low barrier for entry from our early years has now become insurmountable for many newcomers. Some communities, cultures, and minorities have suffered from this exclusion more than others. Toxic behaviors and harassment have had a negative impact on participation in our projects. Other types of contribution beyond editing aren't recognized as equally valueable, and the structures of our movement are often opaque or centralized, with high barriers to entry. We even should change and innovate our services before it was too late. Many readers now expect multimedia formats beyond text and images. People want content that is real-time, visual and that support social sharing and conversation. We should address all of this issue so we can improve our movement. I hope, Movement Charter could address this issues. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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 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. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | Je suis impliquée dans le mouvement depuis 2006. Actuellement, je suis administratrice sur la Wikipédia néerlandaise, administratrice temporaire sur la Wikipédia papiamentu, administratrice sur Commons, agent VRTS, administratrice CN sur Meta, et je possède d'autres droits comme celui de création de campagnes pour les campagnes Commons:Montage pour évaluer les concours de photos. En tant qu'administratrice CN, je travaille dans un rôle très diversifié du point de vue linguistique et culturel, qui, en plus de cette diversité, demande également de garder à l'esprit la position et la perception de la WMF dans le monde dans les choix et les conceptions que nous faisons pour les bannières et les campagnes Wikimedia. J'aime beaucoup ce rôle stimulant. Dans les situations interculturelles, je trouve que c'est un défi de trouver un équilibre entre la personne qui m'approche avec une demande et le sentiment général et les règles sur les différents projets.
Je suis également impliquée dans les Wikiprojets Gender Gap, LGBTI+, Accessibility et GLAM, dans le cadre de collaborations en ligne et hors ligne. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | Spécifiquement pour la stratégie, j'ai été impliqué de différentes manières depuis 2017, parfois en traduisant et en amenant notre communauté à se faire une opinion sur l'orientation stratégique 2030 (ex. nl:Wikipedia:Strategie 2030, et en publiant des informations sur les initiatives de la WMF sur notre "Village Pump", notre principal canal de communication interne à la communauté. J'ai participé à plusieurs réunions pour le développement de la direction stratégique. Au cours des derniers mois, j'ai été impliquée dans la mise en œuvre du nouveau Code de Conduite Universel (UCoC) dans notre "Beleid Vriendelijk Ruimtes" néerlandais que le chapitre néerlandais (WMNL) utilise pour ses événements : le concept est actuellement sur le wiki du chapitre pour une consultation de la communauté. (Concepttekst nieuw Beleid Vriendelijke Ruimtes)
J'ai également organisé plusieurs événements, seule ou en équipe, allant de petites réunions dans des bibliothèques à des événements de plusieurs jours et multinationaux comme le Wiki Techstorm. J'ai eu quelques petites tâches de soutien dans plusieurs Wikimania (2018, 2019, 2021).

Au fil des ans, j'ai appris que les rôles évoluent et que les responsabilités changent. J'aimerais donc que la charte du mouvement devienne une charte claire, mais suffisamment flexible pour pouvoir accepter des ajouts et des modifications, afin qu'elle constitue une base solide pour nos communautés dans les années à venir et, espérons-le, au-delà. Une charte à l'épreuve du temps, en quelque sorte. | |

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). | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | I have participated in several team collaborative experiences within our movement at different topics and levels.

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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

Wikimédia devrait permettre à chacun de contribuer facilement à partir de smartphones et d'appareils préférés (le bureau, à mon avis, est biaisé par le sexe et la démographie). Je me suis toujours efforcé de supprimer les obstacles à la connaissance libre et de réduire la courbe d'apprentissage nécessaire pour participer et contribuer. Ceux qui aiment ajouter des connaissances devraient pouvoir le faire sans passer du temps à se familiariser avec les choses. Les choses devraient être conçues de manière intuitive. Une communication et une documentation appropriées sont d'autres aspects qui ont fait défaut jusqu'à présent.

| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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?”. | |

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | 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. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | I have collaborated in many wikipedia projects which leads to the rapid growth of the Hausa wikipedia. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Expérience à travailler en équipe | 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. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | 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. | |

| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | Wikimédia est très important dans le monde de la recherche dans la mesure il regorge des informations très importantes pour les élèves, étudiants, chercheurs, professeurs…. Il convient donc de conjuguer nos efforts pour le développement de ce projet utile à l’humanité toute en entière. C’est dans ce sens que je postule pour mettre mon savoir-faire, mon savoir-être, toutes mes compétences au profit de ce projet intéressant. En effet, mes qualités sont en parfaites harmonie avec les exigences du comité de rédaction du mouvement.
Tout d’abord, Gestionnaire de l’information documentaire, ma mission étant de mettre l’information à la disposition des usagers, de les former aux techniques de recherches documentaires, les orienter vers les dictionnaires utiles dans le cadre de leur recherche. Faire partie du comité de rédaction du mouvement me permettra de mettre à la disposition de cette équipe toutes les attentes, les difficultés, les informations souhaitées des usagers. Ensuite, Formateur sur plusieurs modules en science de l’information documentaire et sur les outils collaboratifs pour booster la productivité. J’ai une parfaite maitrise de ces outils pour travailler en équipe, faire un suivi des activités, définir un deadline des différentes tâches. Enfin, je pourrai également non seulement valoriser les projets de Wikimédia dans mes réseaux mais aussi former d’autres personnes sur les ressources disponibles sur ce projet. | |

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

| Expérience au sein du mouvement Wikimedia | J'ai commencé en 2004 à contribuer sur la Wikipédia allemande. En plus de l'édition, j'ai été administratrice bureaucrate, agent OTRS et plus encore. Très tôt, je me suis rendu compte que, pour moi, il y avait plus à faire que d'écrire des articles. Ma participation au processus de la stratégie globale en 2010 a été l'étincelle initiale de mon orientation internationale. J'ai rejoint le conseil d'administration de Wikimedia Allemagne (WMDE) de 2008 à 2011 et j'ai été membre du conseil d'administration de la Fondation Wikimedia de 2012 à 2018.
Actuellement, je suis à nouveau membre du conseil d'administration de Wikimedia Allemagne. Lors de l'élaboration des recommandations de la stratégie 2030, j'étais membre du groupe de travail Plaidoyer de la stratégie du mouvement. J'ai suivi de près la stratégie du mouvement depuis lors et j'ai participé aux conversations et événements mondiaux pour soutenir le processus en cours. | |
| Expérience à travailler en équipe | En ce qui concerne mes expériences Wikimedia, j'ai travaillé en collaboration dans plusieurs processus, comme les rôles du mouvement en 2010-11 ou le groupe de travail (2018-20) ou, bien sûr, dans différents comités pendant mes mandats au conseil d'administration. Malgré tout, je pense que nous devons être ouverts à l'expérimentation de nouvelles méthodes et idées pour rassembler des personnes, des idées et des processus au niveau mondial afin d'identifier ce qui nous unit. Ce qui est dans ma zone de confort n'est peut-être pas la meilleure façon de faire les choses pour les autres, dans d'autres parties du monde et dans des cultures différentes. C'est là que nous devons tous faire preuve d'ouverture et ne pas considérer nos propres expériences et hypothèses comme le centre unique de la sagesse. | |
| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | Pour moi, la Charte du Mouvement est le fondement essentiel pour que notre mouvement, nos efforts pour la connaissance libre et l'accès à la connaissance libre soient prêts pour l'avenir.
Je crois profondément que nous devons repenser certaines des choses que nous n'avons jamais vraiment remises en question avec des conséquences. L'équité dans la prise de décision est ce à quoi nous aspirons. Qu'est-ce que cela signifie en ce qui concerne les types d'organisations que nous créons, leur relation/dépendance avec la Wikimedia Foundation et entre elles, et les rôles des communautés dans la prise de décision globale ? Nous devons intervenir dans les négociations et équilibrer les intérêts, le pouvoir et les droits. La Charte du Mouvement jettera les bases de nouvelles structures telles que le Conseil mondial, qui doit réunir à nouveau ces intérêts et servir l'ensemble du mouvement. Y compris les contributeur.trice.s et les volontaires, ainsi que nos organisations et notre personnel. D'après ce que j'ai compris, le groupe de rédaction rassemble les recherches nécessaires, le travail déjà effectué par les groupes de travail et les contributions effectives des Wikimédien.ne.s. Il s'agit plus de diriger que de créer. Je pense à des cycles itératifs avec la communauté, par petites étapes, sans attendre que tout soit dans une forme difficile à modifier. C'est peut-être la partie la plus difficile de ce travail. Mais je crois fermement que nous avons plus de sagesse dans notre mouvement qu'un groupe de 20 personnes ne peut en avoir. Et nous avons besoin de toute cette sagesse lorsque nous créons une base commune pour l'avenir. | |

The Movement Charter must provide a foundation for who we are, what we do, and why we do it. Priorities I see in the charter are for ensuring protection of anonymity, equity in access for everyone through both being able to participate at reasonable local times in what ever language they most comfortable with. Care needs to be taken in nuances of every language and how its translated to ensure that the concepts are presented equally to everyone equity starts with the charters wording must be able to carry the same principles through every translation iteration. | |

| Déclaration (Pas plus de 400 mots) | Mon principal intérêt pour Wikipédia est la notion d'auto-gouvernance. Malgré tous ses défauts, j'ai trouvé que en.wikipedia.org a un modèle de gouvernance très réussi qui nécessite rarement des interventions extérieures (en fait, les interventions extérieures sont souvent contre-productives). Je trouve étonnant qu'une organisation presque exclusivement bénévole ait connu un tel succès. Je pense que l'accent mis sur l'équité et la civilité est la clé de ce succès.
Je ne me considère pas comme un grand écrivain, mais je suis un bon rédacteur et je dois parfois donner mon avis (tant sur le contenu que sur l'écriture) sur une douzaine de propositions de plus de 15 pages en moins d'une semaine. Les clôtures RfC (Demande de Commentaires) que j'ai faites sur la version anglaise sont probablement le meilleur moyen d'illustrer ma capacité à lire et à comprendre les points de vue de différentes parties ([1] est la plus récente).
