I don't think the Movement Roles discussion had any impact on
Wikimedia UK achieving charity status (which in any case happened
before the movement roles conversation concluded), and in any case
Wikimedia UK does virtually no lobbying....

Oh, it's this discussion again. This is my favorite discussion.
Movement roles discussion is how we got the UK chapter recognized as a
charity capable of political lobbying. That was satisfying.
Maybe we can get the letter to donors back.

to quote
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working_Groups
*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

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

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Update #4: Upcoming call for participation
in Working Groups
Dear Katherine,
Thank very much you for this update. I was working in the “role and
responsibilities” group in Berlin and the outcome was that we had
decided to rename it “power dynamics” if I recall correctly.
Now I see this name has not been used, so I feel a little surprized?
Kind regards,
Natacha / Nattes à chat

Dear all,
It’s been a while since I sent out the last movement strategy update.
A lot
has happened in the meantime, and I wanted to give you a heads-up
regarding
an upcoming call for participation!
But first things first:
1. The report from the Wikimedia Conference Movement Strategy Track
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2018/Documentation/Movement_Strategy_track>
has been published[1]. It captures all the conversations, insights and
outputs from three days of intense strategy work, so it’s a (quite) long
but very interesting read. It is meant to document the state of the
process
and to allow for a deep dive into it. It should be especially valuable for
those of you who did not have a chance to participate in the conference or
attended another conference track.
2. Based on WMCON outputs (and various conversations we’ve been having in
our movement for years), the core strategy team has mapped eight key
thematic areas
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Working_Groups#What_are_the_key_thematic_areas%3F>
[2] -- and some initial guiding questions -- that should to be answered to
enable us to advance towards our strategic direction. These areas include:
- Roles & Responsibilities
- Resource Allocation & Revenue Streams
- Diversity
- Partnerships
- Capacity Building
- Community Health
- Technology
- Advocacy
3. The core team will be supporting the creation of Working Groups to take
on these critical conversations. These working groups will be asked to
assess the current situation of the thematic area, and obstacles and
opportunities. They’ll have access to all the relevant information already
collected, and the chance to do further research if needed. They’ll be
asked to identify the changes needed in movement structures and develop
concrete recommendations for the movement on how to ratify and implement
them.[3] An open call for working group members will go out to the
movement
this week -- please stay tuned for an update from Nicole!
I also had the chance to present more about these plans at last week’s
Metrics Meeting. Please do take a look, either look it all up on the
Meta[3] or watch the video![4]
Cheers,
Katherine
