== [Small wiki toolkits] Upcoming bots workshops: Understanding community needs ==

Greetings, as you may be aware that as part of [[:m:SWT_South_Asia|Small wiki toolkits - South Asia]], we conduct a workshop every month on technical topics to help small wikis. In February, we are planning on organizing a workshop on the topic of bots. Bots are automated tools that carry out repetitive, tedious and mundane tasks. To help us structure the workshop, we would like understand the needs of the community in this regard. Please let us know any of 
* a) repetitive/mundane tasks that you generally do, especially for maintenance
*b) tasks you think can be automated on your wiki.
Please let us your inputs on [[:m:Talk:SWT_South_Asia/Workshops#Upcoming_bots_workshops%3A_Understanding_community_needs|'''workshops talk page''']], before 7 February 2021. You can also let me know your inputs by [[Special:EmailUser/KCVelaga|emailing me]] or pinging me here in this section. Please note that you do not need to have any programming knowledge for this workshop or to give input. Regards, [[User:KCVelaga|KCVelaga]] १३:४५, २८ जनवरी २०२१ (नेपालको प्रमाणिक समय)

== Call for feedback: WMF Community Board seats &amp; Office hours tomorrow ==

''(sorry for posting in English)''

Dear Wikimedians,

The [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees|Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees]] is organizing a [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats|'''call for feedback''']] about community selection processes between February 1 and March 14. Below you will find the problem statement and various ideas from the Board to address it. We are offering multiple channels for questions and feedback. With the help of a team of community facilitators, we are organizing multiple conversations with multiple groups in multiple languages.

During this call for feedback we publish weekly reports and we draft the final report that will be delivered to the Board. With the help of this report, the Board will approve the next steps to organize the selection of six community seats in the upcoming months. Three of these seats are due for renewal and three are new, recently approved.

'''Participate in this call for feedback and help us form a more diverse and better performing Board of Trustees!'''

&lt;u&gt;'''Problems:'''&lt;/u&gt; While the Wikimedia Foundation and the movement have grown about five times in the past ten years, the Board’s structure and processes have remained basically the same. As the Board is designed today, we have a problem of capacity, performance, and lack of representation of the movement’s diversity. This problem was identified in the Board’s 2019 governance review, along with recommendations for how to address it.

To solve the problem of capacity, we have agreed to increase the Board size to a maximum of 16 trustees (it was 10). Regarding performance and diversity, we have approved criteria to evaluate new Board candidates. What is missing is a process to promote community candidates that represent the diversity of our movement and have the skills and experience to perform well on the Board of a complex global organization.

Our current processes to select individual volunteer and affiliate seats have some limitations. Direct elections tend to favor candidates from the leading language communities, regardless of how relevant their skills and experience might be in serving as a Board member, or contributing to the ability of the Board to perform its specific responsibilities. It is also a fact that the current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Western Europe. Meanwhile, our movement has grown larger and more complex, our technical and strategic needs have increased, and we have new and more difficult policy challenges around the globe. As well, our Movement Strategy recommendations urge us to increase our diversity and promote perspectives from other regions and other social backgrounds.

In the upcoming months, we need to renew three community seats and appoint three more community members in the new seats. What process can we all design to promote and choose candidates that represent our movement and are prepared with the experience, skills, and insight to perform as trustees?

&lt;u&gt;'''Ideas:'''&lt;/u&gt; The Board has discussed several ideas to overcome the problems mentioned above. Some of these ideas could be taken and combined, and some discarded. Other ideas coming from the call for feedback could be considered as well. The ideas are:
*&lt;u&gt;Ranked voting system.&lt;/u&gt; Complete the move to a single transferable vote system, already used to appoint affiliate-selected seats, which is designed to best capture voters’ preferences.
*&lt;u&gt;Quotas.&lt;/u&gt; Explore the possibility of introducing quotas to ensure certain types of diversity in the Board (details about these quotas to be discussed in this call for feedback).
*&lt;u&gt;Call for types of skills and experiences.&lt;/u&gt; When the Board makes a new call for candidates, they would specify types of skills and experiences especially sought.
*&lt;u&gt;Vetting of candidates.&lt;/u&gt; Potential candidates would be assessed using the Trustee Evaluation Form and would be confirmed or not as eligible candidates.
*&lt;u&gt;Board-delegated selection committee.&lt;/u&gt; The community would nominate candidates that this committee would assess and rank using the Trustee Evaluation Form. This committee would have community elected members and Board appointed members.
*&lt;u&gt;Community-elected selection committee.&lt;/u&gt; The community would directly elect the committee members. The committee would assess and rank candidates using the Trustee Evaluation Form.
*&lt;u&gt;Election of confirmed candidates.&lt;/u&gt; The community would vote for community nominated candidates that have been assessed and ranked using the Trustee Evaluation Form. The Board would appoint the most voted candidates.
*&lt;u&gt;Direct appointment of confirmed candidates.&lt;/u&gt; After the selection committee produces a ranked list of community nominated candidates, the Board would appoint the top-ranked candidates directly.

&lt;u&gt;'''Call for feedback:'''&lt;/u&gt; The [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats|call for feedback]] runs from February 1 until the end of March 14. We are looking for a broad representation of opinions. We are interested in the reasoning and the feelings behind your opinions. In a conversation like this one, details are important. We want to support good conversations where everyone can share and learn from others. We want to hear from those who understand Wikimedia governance well and are already active in movement conversations. We also want to hear from people who do not usually contribute to discussions. Especially those who are active in their own roles, topics, languages or regions, but usually not in, say, a call for feedback on Meta.

You can participate by joining the [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats#How_to_participate|Telegram chat group]], and giving feedback on any of the talk pages on Meta-Wiki. We are welcoming the organisation of conversations in any language and in any channel. If you want us to organize a conversation or a meeting for your wiki project or your affiliate, please write to me. I will also reach out to communities and affiliates to soon have focused group discussions.

An [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Conversations/2021-02-02_-_First_Office_Hour|'''office hour''']] is also happening '''tomorrow at 12 pm (UTC)''' to discuss this topic. Access link will be available 15 minutes before the scheduled time (please watch the office hour page for the link, and I will also share on mailing lists). In case you are not able to make it, please don't worry, there will be more discussions and meetings in the next few weeks.

== WMF Community Board seats: Upcoming panel discussions ==

As a result of the first three weeks of the [[:m:Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees/Call for feedback: Community Board seats|call for feedback on WMF Community Board seats]], three topics turned out to be the focus of the discussion. Additionally, a new idea has been introduced by a community member recently: Candidates resources. We would like to pursue these focus topics and the new idea appropriately, discussing them in depth and collecting new ideas and fresh approaches by running four panels in the next week. Every panel includes four members from the movement covering many regions, backgrounds and experiences, along with a trustee of the Board. Every panel will last 45 minutes, followed by a 45-minute open mic discussion, where everyone’s free to ask questions or to contribute to the further development of the panel's topics.

== Call for Election Volunteers: 2021 WMF Board elections ==

Hello all,

Based on an [[:m:Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees/Call for feedback: Community Board seats/Main report|extensive call for feedback]] earlier this year, the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation  Board of Trustees [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/2021-04-15_Resolution_about_the_upcoming_Board_elections|announced the plan for the 2021 Board elections]]. Apart from improving the technicalities of the process, the Board is also keen on improving active participation from communities in the election process. During the last elections, Voter turnout in prior elections was about 10% globally. It was better in communities with volunteer election support. Some of those communities reached over 20% voter turnout. We know we can get more voters to help assess and promote the best candidates, but to do that, we need your help.

We are looking for volunteers to serve as Election Volunteers. Election Volunteers should have a good understanding of their communities. The facilitation team sees Election Volunteers as doing the following:

*Promote the election and related calls to action in community channels.
*With the support from facilitators, organize discussions about the election in their communities.
*Translate “a few” messages for their communities

[[:m:Wikimedia Foundation elections/2021/Election Volunteers|Check out more details about Election Volunteers]] and add your name next to the community you will support [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Election_Volunteers|'''in this table''']]. We aim to have at least one Election Volunteer, even better if there are two or more sharing the work. If you have any queries, please ping me under this message or [[Special:EmailUser/KCVelaga (WMF)|email me]].

== Candidates from South Asia for 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board Elections ==

Dear Wikimedians,

As you may be aware, the Wikimedia Foundation has started [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021|elections for community seats]] on the Board of Trustees. While previously there were three community seats on the Board, with the expansion of the Board to sixteen seats last year, community seats have been increased to eight, four of which are up for election this year. 

In the last fifteen years of the Board's history, there were only a few candidates from the South Asian region who participated in the elections, and hardly anyone from the community had a chance to serve on the Board. While there are several reasons for this, this time, the Board and WMF are very keen on encouraging and providing support to potential candidates from historically underrepresented regions. This is a good chance to change the historical problem of representation from the South Asian region in high-level governance structures.

Ten days after the call for candidates began, there aren't any [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Candidates#Candidate_Table|candidates from South Asia]] yet, there are still 10 days left! I would like to ask community members to encourage other community members, whom you think would be potential candidates for the Board. While the final decision is completely up to the person, it can be helpful to make sure that they are aware of the election and the call for candidates.

Let me know if you need any information or support.

== 2021 WMF Board election postponed until August 18th ==

Hello all,

We are reaching out to you today regarding the [[:m:Wikimedia Foundation elections/2021|2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election]]. This election was due to open on August 4th. Due to some technical issues with SecurePoll, the election must be delayed by two weeks. This means we plan to launch the election on August 18th, which is the day after Wikimania concludes. For information on the technical issues, you can see the [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T287859 Phabricator ticket]. 

We are truly sorry for this delay and hope that we will get back on schedule on August 18th. We are in touch with the Elections Committee and the candidates to coordinate the next steps. We will update the [[:m:https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021|Board election Talk page]] and [https://t.me/wmboardgovernancechat Telegram channel] as we know more.

== Results of 2021 Wikimedia Foundation elections ==

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2021 Board election. The Elections Committee has reviewed the votes of the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election, organized to select four new trustees. A record 6,873 people from across 214 projects cast their valid votes. The following four candidates received the most support:

*Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight
*Victoria Doronina
*Dariusz Jemielniak
*Lorenzo Losa

While these candidates have been ranked through the community vote, they are not yet appointed to the Board of Trustees. They still need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. The Board has set a tentative date to appoint new trustees at the end of this month.

== Universal Code of Conduct EDGR conversation hour for South Asia ==

Dear Wikimedians,

As you may already know, the [[:m:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC) provides a baseline of behaviour for collaboration on Wikimedia projects worldwide. Communities may add to this to develop policies that take account of local and cultural context while maintaining the criteria listed here as a minimum standard. The Wikimedia Foundation Board has ratified the policy in December 2020.

The [[:m:Universal Code of Conduct/Enforcement draft guidelines review|current round of conversations]] is around how the Universal Code of Conduct should be enforced across different Wikimedia platforms and spaces. This will include training of community members to address harassment, development of technical tools to report harassment, and different levels of handling UCoC violations, among other key areas.

The conversation hour is an opportunity for community members from South Asia to discuss and provide their feedback, which will be passed on to the drafting committee. The details of the conversation hour are as follows:

*Date: 16 September
*Time: Bangladesh: 5:30 pm to 7 pm, India &amp; Sri Lanka: 5 pm to 6:30 pm, Nepal: 5:15 pm to 5:45 pm
*Meeting link: https://meet.google.com/dnd-qyuq-vnd | [https://calendar.google.com/event?action=TEMPLATE&amp;tmeid=NmVzbnVzbDA2Y3BwbHU4bG8xbnVybDFpOGgga2N2ZWxhZ2EtY3RyQHdpa2ltZWRpYS5vcmc&amp;tmsrc=kcvelaga-ctr%40wikimedia.org add to your calendar]

== Upcoming Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections == 

:''You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.''

The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.

While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:

* What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board?

* What involvement should candidates have during the election?

While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.

'''Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?'''

Contact the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy and Governance|Movement Strategy and Governance team]] on Meta, on [https://t.me/wmboardgovernancechat Telegram], or via email at msg[[File:At sign.svg|16x16px|link=|(_AT_)]]wikimedia.org.

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until January 3. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday.

The Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections is now open and will close on 7 February 2022. 

With this Call for Feedback, the Movement Strategy and Governance team is taking a different approach. This approach incorporates community feedback from 2021. Instead of leading with proposals, the Call is framed around key questions from the Board of Trustees. The key questions came from the feedback about the 2021 Board of Trustees election. The intention is to inspire collective conversation and collaborative proposal development about these key questions.

There are two confirmed questions that will be asked during this Call for Feedback:

# What is the best way to ensure more diverse representation among elected candidates?  ''The Board of Trustees noted the importance of selecting candidates who represent the full diversity of the Wikimedia movement. The current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Europe.''
# What are the expectations for the candidates during the election?  ''Board candidates have traditionally completed applications and answered community questions. How can an election provide appropriate insight into candidates while also appreciating candidates’ status as volunteers?''

There is one additional question that may be presented during the Call about selection processes. This question is still under discussion, but the Board wanted to give insight into the confirmed questions as soon as possible. Hopefully if an additional question is going to be asked, it will be ready during the first week of the Call for Feedback.

== Announcing Indic Hackathon 2022 and Scholarship Applications ==

Dear Wikimedians, we are happy to announce that the Indic MediaWiki Developers User Group will be organizing [[m:Indic Hackathon 2022|Indic Hackathon 2022]], a regional event as part of the main [[mw:Wikimedia Hackathon 2022|Wikimedia Hackathon 2022]] taking place in a hybrid mode during 20-22 May 2022. The event will take place in Hyderabad. The regional event will be in-person with support for virtual participation. As it is with any hackathon, the event’s program will be semi-structured i.e. while we will have some sessions in sync with the main hackathon event, the rest of the time will be upto participants’ interest on what issues they are interested to work on. The event page can be seen on [[m:Indic Hackathon 2022|this page]].

In this regard, we would like to invite community members who would like to attend in-person to fill out a [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1lhp8IdXNxL55sgPmgOKzfWxknWzN870MvliqJZHhIijY5A/viewform?usp=sf_link form for scholarship application] by 17 April, which is available on the event page. Please note that the hackathon won’t be focusing on training of new skills, and it is expected that applications have some experience/knowledge contributing to technical areas of the Wikimedia movement. Please post on the event talk page if you have any queries.

== Join the  South Asia / ESEAP Annual Plan Meeting with Maryana Iskander  ==

Dear community members,

The conversations are about these questions:
* The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia 2030|2030 Wikimedia Movement Strategy]] sets a direction toward &quot;knowledge as a service&quot; and &quot;knowledge equity&quot;. The Wikimedia Foundation wants to plan according to these two goals. How do you think the Wikimedia Foundation should apply them to our work?
* The Wikimedia Foundation continues to explore better ways of working at a regional level. We have increased our regional focus in areas like grants, new features, and community conversations.  How can we improve?
* Anyone can contribute to the Movement Strategy process. We want to know about  your activities, ideas, requests, and lessons learned. How can the Wikimedia Foundation better support the volunteers and affiliates working in Movement Strategy activities?

&lt;b&gt;Date and Time&lt;/b&gt;

== Call for Candidates: 2022 Board of Trustees Election ==

Dear community members, 

The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022|2022 Board of Trustees elections]] process has begun. The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Announcement/Call_for_Candidates|Call for Candidates]] has been announced. 

The Board of Trustees oversees the operations of the Wikimedia Foundation. Community-and-affiliate selected trustees and Board-appointed trustees make up the Board of Trustees. Each trustee serves a three year term. The Wikimedia community has the opportunity to vote for community-and-affiliate selected trustees.

The Wikimedia community will vote to elect two seats on the Board of Trustees in 2022. This is an opportunity to improve the representation, diversity, and expertise of the Board of Trustees.

Kindly [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022/Apply to be a Candidate|submit your candidacy]] to join the Board of Trustees.

The Movement Strategy and Governance team is looking for community members to serve as election volunteers in the upcoming Board of Trustees election.

The idea of the Election Volunteer Program came up during the 2021 Wikimedia Board of Trustees Election. This program turned out to be successful. With the help of Election Volunteers we were able to increase outreach and participation in the election by 1,753 voters over 2017.  Overall turnout was 10.13%, 1.1 percentage points more, and 214 wikis were represented in the election. 

There were a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 that produced voters in the 2021 election. Can you help increase the participation even more?

Election volunteers will help in the following areas:
* Translate short messages and announce the ongoing election process in community channels
* Optional: Monitor community channels for community comments and questions

Volunteers should:

* Maintain the friendly space policy during conversations and events
* Present the guidelines and voting information to the community in a neutral manner

Do you want to be an election volunteer and ensure your community is represented in the vote?

You can use the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Movement Strategy and Governance/Election Volunteers/About|talk page]] for questions about translation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;section end=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;

Hi all,

Community members are invited to ''' [[metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/Election_Compass|propose statements to use in the Election Compass]]''' for the [[metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022|2022 Board of Trustees election.]] 

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/neutral/disagree). 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: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
* July 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. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Regards,

Movement Strategy &amp; Governance

== WikiConference India 2023: Initial conversations ==

Dear Wikimedians,

Hope all of you are doing well. We are glad to inform you to restart the conversation to host the next WikiConference India 2023 after WCI 2020 which was not conducted due to the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, it couldn't take place. However, we are hoping to reinitiate this discussion and for that we need your involvement, suggestions and support to help organize a much needed conference in February-March of 2023. 

The proposed 2023 conference will bring our energies, ideas, learnings, and hopes together. This conference will provide a national-level platform for Indian Wikimedians to connect, re-connect, and establish their collaboration itself can be a very important purpose on its own- in the end it will empower us all to strategize, plan ahead and collaborate- as a movement.

We hope we, the Indian Wikimedia Community members, come together in various capacities and make this a reality. We believe we will take learnings from earlier attempts, improve processes &amp; use best practices in conducting this conference purposefully and fruitfully.

Here is a survey [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfof80NVrf3b9x3AotDBkICe-RfL3O3EyTM_L5JaYM-0GkG1A/viewform form] to get your responses on the same notion. Unfortunately we are working with short timelines since the final date of proposal submission is 5 September. We request you please fill out the form by 28th August. After your responses, we can decide if we have the community need and support for the conference. You are also encouraged to add your support on [[:m:WikiConference_India_2023:_Initial_conversations|'''this page''']], if you support the idea.
