*During the Wikimedia Conference 2018, the Working Group “Roles & Responsibilities” proposed “Power Dynamics” as a title instead. As power is only a part of the broader conversation around global, regional and local responsibilities and roles, and we wouldn’t want the group to only concentrate on this aspect, the Strategy Core Team decided to keep the original name. * To me power dynamics gives a poor interpretation and sets up the work group to focus as individual hierarchical building, rather than equity and distribution of responsibilities On 7 June 2018 at 17:47, Peter Southwood <peter.southw...@telkomsa.net> wrote: > Roles and responsibilities may be a better term, It has a meaning that is > more likely to be understood than "power dynamics", which frankly sounds > more like rocket science than what people in a group are expected to do. > Cheers, > Peter > > -----Original Message----- > From: Wikimedia-l [mailto:wikimedia-l-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org] On > Behalf Of Natacha Rault > Sent: 07 June 2018 06:08 > To: Wikimedia Mailing List > Cc: Staff (All); EDs mailing list > Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Update #4: Upcoming call for participation in > Working Groups > > Dear Katherine, > > Thank very much you for this update.
