Hi everyone, I wanted to share some updates about movement strategy with you all. The core team has spent the last few weeks developing and finalizing a plan to take forward the work that the nine working groups have done and, from this, create one set of recommendations.
To ensure enough time to do this effectively and to facilitate community input on the synthesized recommendations as well as endorsement, we have adapted the movement strategy timeline.[1] == What’s next for working groups == The nine working groups are currently putting any remaining finishing touches on the current, second iteration of their recommendations[2]. This version reflects inputs and perspectives that were shared by the movement online and in person prior to, during, and after Wikimania, including at many strategy salons and the two regional summits. Any final bits of relevant research will be integrated, and some groups may make small refinements to their work. They are also in the process of ranking their recommendations to indicate which ones, in their perspective, are the most foundational for driving change in our movement. Following this, working group members will conclude the duty that they signed up for by 1 November. We are incredibly grateful to each working group member for their tireless efforts and engagement. In the meantime, the core team and contracted strategy liaisons will also be working to share back information with online and offline communities about how their feedback has been reviewed and incorporated into the existing drafts of recommendations. == Synthesizing recommendations == The focus over the next few months will be on synthesizing the 89 recommendations to develop one set. To help create a product that is concise and clear, overlaps in the content will be identified to see where certain recommendations could be merged. Others may be forwarded for consideration to the implementation process. Others might conflict and need to be reconciled. To do this work, a new working group will be formed, comprised of existing working group members who are interested in continuing to contribute. This new group will consist of: * Writers who will synthesize the recommendations and develop one coherent set. * Connectors who will help writers make sense and further integrate existing material, research, and input from community conversations, both past and upcoming. * Reviewers who will bring in specific additional perspectives, expertise, contexts, advise at different times of the process. The sign up process for this new group is currently underway, and best ways to support the content creation are being assessed. We will provide updates here soon. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
