I share many of the same concerns others have raised. However I did want
to say that I appreciate the time and effort that Nat and Lorenzo put
into writing the detailed message they sent, and the time and energy it
will take to read responses and possibly respond to them.

I strongly disagree with cancelling or delaying the ratification process.
I want my support for the charter to be duly noted, and the set up of
the process and preparation have both going all OK.

I have worked as a facilitator in a few organisations. In the Wikimedia
Movement (2021-2022), I engaged people for the BoT elections and the UCoC

Have to agree with Christophe, if the recommendation of the BOT liaisons to
the Board about the MCDC is to reject it, then the Board should meet first
and make their collective decision regardless of the cost. This is a broad
document, with as significant a potential for good and as it does ha
People don't approve a bad or deficient Constitution, and then hope for

Hi Nataliia,
Thank you for your clear feedback. I’m concerned about the current
situation regarding the Movement Charter.

I am a volunteer. There is nothing unique in my credential and
experience (15 years, 4-6 hours every day, 80 edits, being a member
of some 8-10 movement bodies, mostly in grant-making).
I spend this time and effort because I believe in our aim, knowledge to

All boards members of the WMF are required legally to represent the

Dear Natalia and Lorenzo,
I have read your message and there are good reasons to support what you are
claiming there, even if I don't share your views. The discussion about how to
