Votazione sulle linee guida per l'applicazione dell'UCoC[cagna]
Buongiorno a tutti,
Come forse saprete già, la prossima settimana, precisamente dal 7 al 21 marzo, si terrà la votazione per la ratifica delle linee guida per l'applicazione del Codice Universale di Condotta (UCoC). In quanto componenti del movimento Wikimedia, la vostra voce e le vostre opinioni sono importanti, ed è quindi necessaria la vostra rappresentanza in questa votazione.
In quanto volontario di supporto per tutta la durata della votazione, se avete domande o bisogno di ulteriori informazioni potete contattarmi in qualsiasi momento. Potete trovare su meta-wiki maggiori informazioni sull'UCoC, sulle linee guida per l'applicazione e sul processo di voto. Infine, vi informo che recentemente si è svolto un incontro online (in inglese) sulle linee guida per l'applicazione dell'UCoC e sulla necessità di votare, in particolare per le comunità di piccole e medie dimensioni, e che è possibile visualizzare la registrazione integrale qui.
Un caro saluto --Superpes15 (chiacchiere) 07:18, 6 mar 2022 (CET)
- Tengo a sottolineare che lo UCoC non si applica liddove le linee guida sono più rigide. È logico, visto che sono regole di comportamento molto generiche, non come le nostre! Stateve buon'! Ruthven (msg) 22:09, 8 mar 2022 (CET)

Invitation to join the first Wikisource Triage meeting on 21st March 2022[cagna]
Hello everyone,
Sam Wilson and I are excited to share that we will be hosting regular Wikisource Triage meetings, starting from 21st March 2022.
These meetings aim to foster the growth of a technical community of Wikisource developers and contributors. The meetings will be primarily focused on identifying, prioritizing and estimating tasks on the All-and-every-Wikisource and ProofreadPage workboards (among others) on Phabricator and eventually reduce the backlog of technical tasks and bugs related to Wikisource by making incremental improvements to Wikisource infrastructure and coordinating these changes with the Wikisource communities.
While these meetings are technology focused, non-technical Wikisource contributors are also invited to join and share any technical challenges that they are facing and we will help them to create phabricator tickets. Newbie developers are also more than welcome!
The first meeting has been scheduled for 21st March 2022 at 10:30 AM UTC / 4:00 PM IST (Check your local time). If you are interested in joining the meeting, kindly leave a message on sgill@wikimedia.org and we will add you to the calendar invite.
Meanwhile, feel free to check out the page on Meta-wiki and suggest topics for the agenda.
On behalf of Sam Wilson and Satdeep Gill

- Io ci sarò, per chi fosse interessato di avere informazioni. Sono stato fra i principali promotori di questo incontro fra il TechTeam della WMF e lo User Group di Wikisource (alle quali discussioni partecipo anche regolarmente). In pratica, ci stiamo organizzando per seguire in modo organico gli sviluppi software che potrebbero interessare Wikisource. È meglio che wikisourciani che ne capiscono di programmazione seguano i task di Phabricator che ci interessano, piuttosto che lasciarlo in mano a volontari random che si occupano di sviluppo, visto che il supporto di WMF è molto limitato per quanto riguarda Wikisource.

Proponi delle dichiarazioni per la bussola elettorale del 2022[cagna]
Ciao a tutti,
I volontari sono invitati a proporre delle dichiarazioni da utilizzare nella bussola elettorale per le elezioni del Board of Trustees del 2022.
Una bussola elettorale è uno strumento nato per aiutare gli elettori a selezionare quei candidati che meglio si conformano alle loro convinzioni e opinioni. I membri della comunità proporranno delle dichiarazioni a cui i candidati risponderanno utilizzando una scala Lickert (d'accordo/neutrale/in disaccordo). Le risposte dei candidati a queste dichiarazioni verranno caricate nella bussola elettorale. Gli elettori utilizzeranno lo strumento inserendo le proprie risposte alle dichiarazioni (d'accordo/neutrale/in disaccordo). I risultati mostreranno quei candidati che meglio si allineano alle convinzioni e ai punti di vista dell'elettore.
| Ecco il calendario della bussola elettorale | ||
|---|---|---|
|
8 - 20 luglio: I volontari propongono le dichiarazioni per la bussola elettorale 21 - 22 luglio: Il Comitato elettorale rivede le dichiarazioni, assicurandosi che siano chiare, e rimuovendo quelle fuori tema 23 luglio - 1º agosto: I volontari votano le dichiarazioni 2 - 4 agosto: Il Comitato elettorale sceglie le 15 dichiarazioni più votate 5 - 12 agosto: I candidati danno il proprio parere sulle dichiarazioni 15 agosto: La bussola elettorale viene aperta all'utilizzo degli elettori al fine di aiutarli nella scelta del voto | ||
Il Comitato elettorale sceglierà le 15 dichiarazioni più votate all'inizio di agosto. Il Comitato elettorale supervisionerà l'intero processo, supportato dal team Movement Strategy and Governance. MSG si assicurerà che le domande siano chiare, che non vi siano duplicati, refusi, o qualsiasi altro problema.
Cordiali saluti,
Movement Strategy and Governance

Announcing the six candidates for the 2022 Board of Trustees election[cagna]
Hi everyone,
The Affiliate voting process has concluded. Representatives from each Affiliate organization learned about the candidates by reading candidates’ statements, reviewing candidates’ answers to questions, and considering the candidates’ ratings provided by the Analysis Committee. The selected 2022 Board of Trustees candidates are:
- Tobechukwu Precious Friday (Tochiprecious)
- Farah Jack Mustaklem (Fjmustak)
- Shani Evenstein Sigalov (Esh77)
- Kunal Mehta (Legoktm)
- Michał Buczyński (Aegis Maelstrom)
- Mike Peel (Mike Peel)
You may see more information about the Results and Statistics of this Board election.
Please take a moment to appreciate the Affiliate Representatives and Analysis Committee members for taking part in this process and helping to grow the Board of Trustees in capacity and diversity. These hours of volunteer work connect us across understanding and perspective. Thank you for your participation.
Thank you to the community members who put themselves forward as candidates for the Board of Trustees. Considering joining the Board of Trustees is no small decision. The time and dedication candidates have shown to this point speaks to their commitment to this movement. Congratulations to those candidates who have been selected. A great amount of appreciation and gratitude for those candidates not selected. Please continue to share your leadership with Wikimedia.
Thank you to those who followed the Affiliate process for this Board election. You may review the results of the Affiliate selection process.
The next part of the Board election process is the community voting period. You may view the Board election timeline here. To prepare for the community voting period, there are several things community members can engage with in the following ways:
- Read candidates’ statements and read the candidates’ answers to the questions posed by the Affiliate Representatives.
- Propose and select the 6 questions for candidates to answer during their video Q&A.
- See the Analysis Committee’s ratings of candidates on each candidate’s statement.
- Propose statements for the Election Compass voters can use to find which candidates best fit their principles.
- Encourage others in your community to take part in the election.
Best,
Movement Strategy and Governance

Vote for Election Compass Statements[cagna]
Hi all,
Volunteers in the 2022 Board of Trustees election are invited to vote for statements to use in the Election Compass. You can vote for the statements you would like to see included in the Election Compass on Meta-wiki.
An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.
Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:
July 8 - 20: Volunteers propose statements for the Election CompassJuly 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements- July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
- August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
- August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
- August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision
The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August
Best,
Movement Strategy and Governance

Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions[cagna]
Hello all,
During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) presented the first outline of the Movement Charter, giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page here on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it here.
With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter" sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback.
The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events:
Asia/Pacific: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese.- Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian.
- North and South America/ Western Europe: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.
On the Meta page you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.
Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors
Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up here. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum.
We thank you for your time and participation.

If you are looking for an example or some guide on how to engage your community further on Movement Strategy and the Movement Strategy Implementation Grants specifically, you may find this community engagement package helpful.
The goal of this community engagement package is to support more people to access the funding they might need for the implementation work. By becoming a recipient of this grant, you will be able to support other community members to develop further grant applications that fit with your local contexts to benefit your own communities. With this package, the hope is to break down language barriers and to ensure community members have needed information on Movement Strategy to connect with each other. Movement Strategy is a two-way exchange, we can always learn more from the experiences and knowledge of Wikimedians everywhere. We can train and support our peers by using this package, so more people can make use of this great funding opportunity.
If this information interests you or if you have any further thoughts or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us as your regional facilitators to discuss further.

Opportunities open for the Ombuds commission and the Case Review Committee[cagna]
Hi everyone! The Ombuds commission (OC) and the Case Review Committee (CRC) are looking for members. People are encouraged to nominate themselves or encourage others they feel would contribute to these groups to do so. There is more information below about the opportunity and the skills that are needed.
About the Ombuds commission
The Ombuds commission (OC) works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of CheckUser and Oversight (also known as Suppression) tools. The Commission mediates between the parties of the investigation and, when violations of the policies are identified, advises the Wikimedia Foundation on best handling. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Trustees of the Foundation in these investigations when legally necessary. For more on the OC's duties and roles, see Ombuds commission on Meta-Wiki.
Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser/Oversight tools OR who have the technical ability to understand these tools and the willingness to learn them. They must be able to communicate in English, the common language of the commission. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. Commissioners will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).
About the Case Review Committee
The Case Review Committee (CRC) reviews appeals of eligible Trust & Safety office actions. The CRC is a critical layer of oversight to ensure that Wikimedia Foundation office actions are fair and unbiased. They also make sure the Wikimedia Foundation doesn’t overstep established practices or boundaries. For more about the role, see Case Review Committee on Meta-Wiki.
We are looking for current or former functionaries and experienced volunteers with an interest in joining this group. Applicants must be fluent in English (additional languages are a strong plus) and willing to abide by the terms of the Committee charter. If the work resonates and you qualify, please apply. Committee members will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).
Applying to join either of these groups
Members are required to sign the Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information and must be willing to comply with the appropriate Wikimedia Foundation board policies (such as the access to non-public information policy and the Foundation privacy policy). These positions requires a high degree of discretion and trust. Members must also be over 18 years of age.
If you are interested in serving in either capacity listed above, please write in English to the Trust and Safety team at ca
wikimedia.org (to apply to the OC) or to the Legal Team at legalwikimedia.org (to apply to the CRC) with information about:
- Your primary projects
- Languages you speak/write
- Any experience you have serving on committees, whether movement or non-movement
- Your thoughts on what you could bring to the OC or CRC if appointed
- Any experience you have with the Checkuser or Oversight tools (OC only)
- Any other information you think is relevant
The deadline for applications is 31 December 2022 in any timezone.
Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think may be qualified and interested. Thank you!
On behalf of the Committee Support team,
