[Jackie Koerner]

Hi all,

Thanks for discussing this topic. It is clear the publication of this
information is important to some community members. The Elections Committee
and Board Selection Task Force approved publishing a complete list of which
affiliate organizations voted in a table

[Wikimedia-l] Vote for Election Compass Statements

<https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate=page-Wikimedia+Foundation+elections%2F2022%2FAnnouncement%2FVote+for+Election+Compass+Statements==page=>*

Hi all,

Volunteers in the 2022 Board of Trustees election
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022>
are
invited to vote for statements to use in the Election Compass
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/Election_Compass/Statements>.
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 Compass
   - July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and
   removes off-topic statements
   - July 25 - August 3: Volunteers vote on the statements
   - August 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
   - August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
   - August 16: 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

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your email. Community members can upvote the statements for the
Election Compass
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/Election_Compass/Statements>
on Meta-wiki. The Elections Committee needed more time to review the
statements than anticipated. Voting opened on July 25. To address this
delay, the Elections Committee and the Board Selection Task Force will
extend the community voting on Election Statements through August 3.

Best,


Jackie

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Announcing the six candidates for the 2022 Board of Trustees election

[Jackie Koerner]

Hi Alice and Adamw,

Thanks for this question. This has been a question those of us on the team
supporting the election asked ourselves: do we publish the participants
publicly, or no?

Movement Strategy and Governance is made up of facilitators from around the
world. We all have a broad experience with cultures and community
experiences. Several facilitators said some affiliates from their regions
decided not to participate to avoid the risk of being labeled and accused
of engaging with a foreign organization. The aim is to protect those
organizations and individuals who did participate from extra attention that
might have real and lasting effects for them.

For the reason above, making the list of participants more obvious is not
something that we wish to do so we can protect the people in our
communities who are vulnerable to just how political participating in free
knowledge still is in much of the world.

If any organization needs to have documentation of their participation, we
can gladly supply that on an individual basis.

Best,

Jackie

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
   <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Tochiprecious>)
   - Farah Jack Mustaklem (Fjmustak
   <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fjmustak>)
   - Shani Evenstein Sigalov (Esh77
   <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Esh77>)
   - Kunal Mehta (Legoktm <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Legoktm>)
   - Michał Buczyński (Aegis Maelstrom

<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Stats>
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
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022#Timeline>.
To prepare for the community voting period, there are several things
community members can engage with in the following ways:

   - Read candidates’ statements
   
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Candidates>
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
   
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/Questions_for_Candidates>
   .
   - See the Analysis Committee’s ratings of candidates on each candidate’s
   statement
   
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Candidates>
   .
   - Propose statements for the Election Compass
   
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/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,

Hi all,

Community members in the 2022 Board of Trustees election
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022>
are
invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/Election_Compass>

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: 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 team. MSG will check that the
questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Hi all,

The Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Board_of_Trustees_elections>
is now closed. This Call ran from 10 January and closed on 16 February
2022. The Call focused on three key questions
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Board_of_Trustees_elections/Discuss_Key_Questions#Questions>
and received broad discussion on Meta-wiki
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Board_of_Trustees_elections/Discuss_Key_Questions>,
during meetings with affiliates, and in various community conversations.
The community and affiliates provided many proposals and discussion points.
The reports
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Board_of_Trustees_elections/Reports>
are on Meta-wiki.

This information will be shared with the Board of Trustees and Elections
Committee so they can make informed decisions about the upcoming Board of
Trustees election. The Board of Trustees will then follow with an
announcement after they have discussed the information.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Call for Feedback to help
improve Board election processes.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

[Wikimedia-l] Question about the Affiliates' role for the Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections

Hi All,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Call for Feedback: Board of
Trustees elections so far. The Movement Strategy and Governance team
suggested another question was still under discussion. As of today, we
announce the last key question:

How should affiliates participate in elections?

Affiliates are an important part of the Wikimedia movement. Two seats of
the Board of Trustees due to be filled this year were filled in 2019
through the Affiliate-selected Board seats process. A change in the Bylaws
removed the distinction between community and affiliate seats
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bylaws=revision=123603=123339>.
This leaves the important question: How should affiliates be involved in
the selection of new seats?

The question is broad in the sense that the answers may refer not just to
the two seats mentioned, but also to other, Community- and
Affiliate-selected seats. The Board is hoping to find an approach that will
both engage the affiliates and give them actual agency, and also optimize
the outcomes in terms of selecting people with top skills, experience,
diversity, and wide community's support.

The Board of Trustees is seeking feedback about this question especially,
although not solely, from the affiliate community. Everyone is invited to
share proposals and join the conversation in the Call for Feedback
channels. In addition to collecting online feedback, the Movement Strategy
and Governance team will organize several video calls with affiliate
members to collect feedback. These calls will be at different times and
include Trustees.

Due to the late addition of this third question, the Call will be extended
until 16 February.

Join the conversation.

Hi everyone,

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:

   1. 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.*
   2. 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.

Join the conversation.

Hi all,

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 Movement Strategy and Governance team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance>
on
Meta, on Telegram <https://t.me/wmboardgovernancechat> or via email at
msg[image:
(_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.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Results for the most contended Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election

[Jackie Koerner]

Hi Alice,

Thanks for asking! The way we are intending "contended" is that it was the
election everyone was waiting for. :) It was "pushed for" by the community
for more than a year and now we gladly announce: it happened and here are
the results!

Best,

Jackie

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:

   Dariusz Jemielniak
   4.

   Lorenzo Losa


Waiting for the Board’s appointment

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. This process can be longer depending on the country of residence of
the candidates. The Board has set a tentative date to appoint new trustees
at the end of this month. The Board also has approved
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/37IV7FRWIKM4YAK2WBTUTPJA7LKGOATI/#37IV7FRWIKM4YAK2WBTUTPJA7LKGOATI>
a short extension to the terms of the exiting trustees to allow a smooth
transition.

Thanks to all the candidates
Thanks to all candidates for their participation. They achieved a record in
the number of candidates and regional diversity, with more than half of the
19 candidates from regions outside North America and Western Europe. This
election used Single Transferable Voting
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/Single_Transferable_Vote>
for the first time. This system does not indicate a number of votes or
percentage of support. Rather, it shows in which round each candidate was
eliminated. You can review the full results on Meta-Wiki
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Results>,
which document the order in which the candidates were mathematically
eliminated.

Thanks to all the election volunteers

The Board of Trustees stressed
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/2021-04-15_Resolution_about_the_upcoming_Board_elections>
the importance of increasing diversity on the Board. Dozens of volunteers
supported by a team of multilingual facilitators promoted the election in
up to 61 languages. They hosted many conversations about the Board election
in more than 50 languages and encouraged community members to participate
in all areas of the election.

Statistics

The 2021 Board of Trustees election broke new ground in several areas. The
Movement Strategy and Governance team will publish a report with the most
remarkable metrics soon. In the meantime, some statistics
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Stats>
can be found on Meta-Wiki. Here you have some highlights.


   -

   Participation increased by 1,753 voters over 2017. Overall turnout was
   10.13%, 1.1 percentage points more than in 2017.
   -

   The highest participation among wikis with at least 5 eligible voters
   was seen on the Hausa and Igbo Wikipedias. Both wikis had a participation
   of 75% (6 of 8 eligible voters). Other high participation numbers were seen
   on the Telugu, Nepalese, and Punjabi Wikipedias.
   -

   The largest increase in participation among wikis with at least 50
   eligible voters was the Catalan Wikipedia, on which 36.3% of eligible
   voters voted (28 percentage points higher than in 2017).
   -

   There were 214 wikis represented in the election. This is determined by
   the wiki on which the account was originally created.
   -

   A total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 produced voters in
   this election.
   -

   A total of 226 wikis had at least one eligible voter but produced no
   voters. The largest electorate in this group was Cantonese Wikipedia, with
   25 eligible voters.


In the upcoming days, an anonymized list of votes will be released that
will allow deeper inspection and publication of more metrics.

2022 election
The next Board of Trustees election is planned to take place in 2022.
Interested community members can watch the Wikimedia Foundation elections
page for updates
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections>. Four
community seats will be selected at that time. It is not too early to
consider and prepare for candidacy. Community members may like to

[Wikimedia-l] Voting closes for the 2021 Board of Trustees election with a record participation

[Jackie Koerner]

Thank you for participating in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of
Trustees election! Voting closed August 31 at 23:59. The official data,
including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the
Elections Committee completes their review of the ballots. The official
announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the
selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board.

6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2%
global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In
2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis
is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are
announced. In the meantime, you can check the data produced during the
election.

Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the
Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked
well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this
election for the first time. With your help, next year’s Board of Trustees
election will be even better.

[Wikimedia-l] Call for Election Volunteers

[Jackie Koerner]

Hi all,


Would you like to get more people taking part in the Wikimedia Foundation’s
Board of Trustees election?

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees announced the plan for the 2021
Board elections
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/2021-04-15_Resolution_about_the_upcoming_Board_elections>.
That plan includes outreach and communication support for the Board
elections. The Board election facilitators will:

   - Inform communities of the trustee selection process
   - Invite communities to engage in voting
   - Encourage people representing emerging Wikimedia communities to run as
   candidates

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 in their communities’ channels
   - Organize discussions about the election in their communities
   - Translate messages for their communities

*Who are the Election Volunteers to connect your community with this
movement effort? Is it you? Or someone you know?* *Check out more details
about Election Volunteers*
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Election_Volunteers>
and
add your name next to the community you will support in this table
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Election_Volunteers>
 or get in contact with a facilitator
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021#Team>.
We aim to have at least one Election Volunteer for Wiki Projects in the top
30 for eligible voters. Even better if there are two or more sharing the
work.


Best,

[Wikimedia-l] Resolution about the upcoming Board elections

[Jackie Koerner]

Hi all,

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees met last week to decide on a
plan for the 2021 Board elections. The Board Governance Committee created
this proposal, based on the Call for Feedback about Community Board
Seats.[1] Please check the related announcement for details.[2]

The Board wants to thank the more than 800 volunteers that participated in
the Call for Feedback in one way or another.[3] There were almost a hundred
conversations in multiple languages and in multiple regions. There was
additional discussion on Meta, Telegram, and other channels used by local
communities. Three new ideas were presented by volunteers during the Call.
It has been very difficult to decide on every open question considering the
quantity and diversity of opinions received. We hope this resolution feels
sensible to everybody.

In the upcoming days, the Board elections facilitation team will share
their ideas to support candidates and voters. Let's work together on
elections with high and very diverse participation!

[Wikimedia-l] Call for Feedback: Community Board seats - Main Report draft comment period

[Jackie Koerner]

Hi everyone!


We have concluded the Call for Feedback: Community Board seats. Thank you
everyone who participated.

During the Call for Feedback period from February 1 to March 14, a team of
10 facilitators organized open and inclusive community discussions to
gather feedback about ideas for trustee selection processes for
community-and-affiliate Board seats. Some facilitators had a regional
focus; some had a language focus. The intention was for the combined
facilitation team to obtain a fair representation of the movement’s
diversity and create a report for the Board. The facilitation team used
the Weekly Reports as the main source of information to create the main
report. [1]

*A draft of the Call for Feedback: Community Board seats main report is now
available. It will be available for community comment until Sunday, March
28. *[2]

After the community comment period the facilitation team will send the main
report to the Board. The feedback in the main report informs the Board’s
decision about these potential changes to trustee selection processes,
procedures, and tools to meet the goals of the Board.

Please reach out if you have any questions or comments.


Best,

[Wikimedia-l] Second office hours: Call for Feedback Community Board Seats

[Jackie Koerner]

Hi all,

This is my last email to you this week, my apologies for adding to your
inbox. :)

I want to share the information for the second office hours organized by
the team facilitating the Call for Feedback: Community Board seats. You can
see the report of the first round. [1]

Second round of office hours: [2]
2021-02-20 6:00 UTC
2021-02-20 10:00 UTC
2021-02-20 16:00 UTC
2021-02-20 21:00 UTC

This time we organized four meetings to better cover different time zones.

We are also trying a small idea - inviting participants to declare their
main topic of interest beforehand. In theory, this could help everyone see
what the main topics of interest for each session are. This is optional.
Anyone can raise any topics related to the Call for feedback during the
sessions on the spot.

Best,

Jackie

I have to say the more I look at the 'options' we are asked to feed back
on, the more confused I get.

So far as I can see there are options relating to:
1) whether there should be elections a) to the Board itself, b) to a
"selection committee" that will nominate Board members, or c) not at all
2) if there is a 'selection committee', should it review candidates a)
before an election or b) after an election;  c) should the selection itself
be c) appointed or d) elected
3) if there is an election, what voting system should it use and should
seats be reserved for particular groups (using quotas).

For what it's worth, my personal view is that anything other than having
community-selected Board members elected by the community is going to be a
disaster. But I'm not entirely sure which one of the many talk pages that
feedback should go on.

Thanks,

Chris

[Wikimedia-l] Call for Feedback: Community-and-Affiliate Board Seats

[Jackie Koerner]

Hi there!

As recently announced, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is
organizing a call for feedback about community-and-affiliated seat
selection processes between February 1 and March 14. You can find all the
information on Meta:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats

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. I am the
community facilitator for English language communities and Meta discussions
about the Board Governance updates.

During this call for feedback we will publish weekly reports and we will
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.

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.

*How to participate*
You can choose your preferred language and way of participation. A team of
facilitators is watching multiple channels and capturing the outcome of
conversations in weekly reports (see below).

   - Discuss in the Talk page for each idea, or in this Talk page [1] for
   general comments. Translated pages welcome discussions in their respective
   languages.
   - Discuss in the WM Board Governance Telegram [2] group created for this
   call for feedback.
   - Join a conversation or an online meeting near you. We are organizing
   multiple conversations on wiki projects, with affiliates, and other groups.

If there are no conversations or meetings organized for your project or
your affiliate, contact us here, on Telegram, or via email at
community-board-seats-...@wikimedia.org. A facilitator will contact you to
organize one.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything you suggest to
better help me connect and gather feedback from your community. Thanks for
taking the time to participate in this process.

Best,

Jackie

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Bylaws amendments and upcoming call for feedback

[Jackie Koerner]

Hi SJ and Yair Rand,

Thanks for your feedback. I have written down your feedback and will bring
this up. You're right, we do want to have Bylaws that are as clear as
possible, but language is a difficult thing. At some point, we may have to
assume good faith.

Best,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Our need of OA research – materials?

[Jackie Koerner]

Hi Johan!

What does your end result look like? 

I know several researchers who study Wikipedia and are passionate about OA. 
Would items they have written be what you are seeking? Or an interview with 
them for something you are writing? If you let me know what you hope for your 
end result to look like, I can better provide you with context and contacts. :)

I hope you are well. 

Best,

Jackie K.
