Re: [Wikimedia-l] COM:IDENT?

[Jeevan Jose]

Thanks all for your opinions, suggestions and advice. I was away due to a
personal emergency; just back home today. I read all the responses above,
including Pierre-selim's advise on how to handle such cases in future. I
agree, and my intention was not to ignore in Commons discussions and make a
"commons is broken" rant as Pleclown complained above. I was in the midst
of switching off my computer and run as one of my relative just admitted in
hospital. The repeated revert on that page increased my blood pressure and
I forwarded it to here as I know I can't participate in that thread for at
least a few days.

I disagree with Pierre-selim's opinion that "In the end I just think we are
having this thread because of the topic being related to nudity (which is
clearly a not consensual topic in our communities, probably because it is
cultural) and not really because of any real breach of privacy." As a
husband of a woman who had undergone TAH-BSO at the age of twenty (ten
years before our marriage), I'm well aware of the value of our reproductive
system and the importance of educating common people about the
healthy maintenance of them. I know how photographs are more helpful than
graphical illustrations in some occasions. But we should be more careful on
verifying whether the subjects are fully consented in such cases. Moreover,
there is no need to reveal the identity of non notable persons in such
cases.

(https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Smoking_Crack.jpg is another
similar case where no relation to nudity; but clear real breach of privacy.
There people even tried to revert Odder. Finally I had to bring it at AN to
revedelete other versions. I still believe such a picture is not good for
our projects as we have no evidence of consent and the person can be
easily identifiable from the external links.)

Now I (glad to) see Russavia did some homework and made an alert to another
crat and (as a result) most links are removed. (

[Wikimedia-l] New Chair of the Supervisory Board – the 14th WMDE General Assembly in retrospect

[Tim Moritz Hector]

Hi all,

yesterday, Wikimedia Deutschland’s 14th General Assembly was held in 
Frankfurt am Main.


In addition to the presentation of the strategic planning and several 
amendments to the articles of the association’s bylaws, the agenda 
included among other things reports of the Executive Director, the 
Supervisory Board and volunteer auditing committee. Of course, the 
transition process and the succession of Pavel Richter announced this 
week were widely discussed.


We are a young association and the change in the position of Executive 
Director, which has been shaped by Pavel for many years, is a new 
experience for all of us. Over the coming months, the process of 
succession is going to entail a lot of work and Pavel will be a part of 
it. Obviously, first of all we have to mutually deliberate on the 
procedure and the specific schedule – a process in which we are going to 
include as many people as possible and whose opinions we are going to 
take very seriously. We will report on any concrete actions as soon as 
possible.


Unfortunately, Nikolas Becker, who held the Chairman position of the 
Supervisory Board for the past six months, will not take an active part 
in the transition process. He resigned yesterday. As a result, we 
gathered as the supervisory board on this Sunday in order to elect a new 
Chair.  I am glad that my Board colleagues expressed their confidence in 
me and as of now entrusted me with the presidency of the supervisory 
board. I am well aware of the immense responsibility and, with a clear 
focus on the future, accepted it yesterday.


I want to thank Nikolas for everything he has accomplished over the past 
years – not only as Chair but also as a member of the Supervisory Board 
and for the association in general. In the name of the Supervisory Board 
we thanked him yesterday in Frankfurt.


As usual, there will also be a protocol for this general meeting of 
members. I do not want to anticipate the minutes, as long as they are 
being completed. Yet, I would like to give a short personal overview at 
this point:


There were six requests for amendments to articles of the association’s 
bylaws (a seventh has been withdrawn). All six of them were accepted 
with clear majorities. The Supervisory Board’s term of office was 
extended from one to two years. A leave of absence from the Supervisory 
Board is now possible, as is a lump-sum for refunding of honorary 
expenses according to German customs. Furthermore, it was formally 
clarified that members of the Supervisory Board must also be members of 
the association. In the future, it will be much easier to terminate 
supporting memberships. And finally: The wording regarding the quorum to 
hold an exceptional general assembly has been changed from “members” to 
“active members”. Besides the amendments to articles of the association, 
the general assembly confirmed the Supervisory Board’s structure 
according to departments.
For more details to all these and further points I want to refer to the 
minutes mentioned above, which are to be published soon.


I am convinced of Wikimedia Deutschland being in a stable position. It 
is up to us to shape our association over the coming years together. 
This involves self criticism, or at least the realization that a neutral 
point of view is helpful in pretty much all circumstances in life. That 
is why I am glad that the general meeting approved the supervisory 
board’s request and that we will now start an external governance review 
to gather different expertise and new insight.


Within Wikipedia, this is common practise and a strength that helps 
Wikipedia get better. In my opinion, the same applies to Wikimedia 
Deutschland: our willingness to improve is our strength.


Best regards,
Tim

Re: [Wikimedia-l] FDC recommendation round 2 announced

[David Cuenca]

After reading the report I really hope that the FDC continues prospering
and growing. There are very insightful recommendations to be found there
and I hope they are put into practice.

I also think that this kind of report reinforces and shows in full splendor
the spirit of community participation and co-governance that many of us we
feel identified with.

Thanks for having shown how a good report should look like.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] FDC recommendation round 2 announced

[Dariusz Jemielniak]

Dear Lodewijk,

thank you! I cannot promise this level of detail when we have many more
participants in Round 1 next year (if the FDC process continues), but we'll
do our best to aim for detailed feedback. Encouragement from the community
means a lot to us, and I appreciate it.

best,

You might want to check out .

It’s probably not super up-to-date, but many folks indicate a way to get
the source ODP file  (usually by contacting them, SlideShare link, etc).

Hi all,

It is with great pleasure that I can announce that the Affiliations
Committee has selected Greg Varnum as its vice chair for the next year.

He ran on a platform of helping the committee improve communication with
the WMF Board (and other stakeholders) and shifting the committee's work
toward a more active capacity building role.

You can learn more about Greg at
