Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end

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.

Wergera kurdî ya peyama li jor

Silav hevalno,

Tîma zimên a Weqfa Wîkîmediyayê bi dilxweşî we agahdar dike ku em dixwazin Amûra Wergerandina Naverokê û Beşê li ser Wîkîpediyaya kurdî çalak bikin. Loma, tîma me dixwaze hûn li ser amûrê bixwînin û Amûra Wergerandina Naverokê biceribînin da ku hûn dikarin:

  • Tecrûbeyên xwe ji me re bibêjin,
  • Pirsên xwe li me bikin,
  • Çawa ev amûr bêhtir were başkirin ji me re bibêjin.

Hûn dikarin li jêr agahiyên li ser van amûran, û bersivên pirsên em çima dixwazin li ser Wîkîpediyaya we vê amûrê çalak bikin û hûn ê çawa amûra wergerandina beşê biceribînin bibînin.

Agahiyên berê li ser amûran

Amûra Wergerandina Naverokê ji bo çêkirina gotarên nû yên bi zimanê xwe amûreke serkeftî ye. Ji destpêka amûrê ya 2015an vir ve ji 900î zêdetir gotar li hemû wîkiyan û Wîkîpediyaya kurdî hatine çêkirin. Bikarhêneran bi vê amûrê heta niha ji nehsedî zêdetir gotarên nû çêkirine. Lê belê li ser Wîkîpediyaya kurdî amûr hîn jî di betayê de ye loma kêmtir bikarhêner hay ji vê amûrê dibin û bi kar tînin, û herwiha ji ber vê yekê ye ku em nikarin amûra wergerandina beşê çalak bikin.

Amûra Wergerandina Beşê taybetmendiyên amûra wergerandina naverokê berfirehtir dike da ku meriv karibe vê amûrê li ser mobîlê jî bi kar bîne. Li ser mobîlê, amûr:

  • Dê ji we re nîşan bide ka çawa gotarek beş bi beş were wergerandin ji bo ku beşeke kurt berfirehtir bikin an jî gotareke nû çêkin.
  • Dê berbelavkirina agahiyan a li hemû zimanan bi riya cîhaza xwe ya mobîlê hêsantir bike.

Li gorî daxwaza endamekî civaka we, wisa dixuye ku Wîkîpediyaya kurdî berendameke îdeal e ku sûdê ji vê amûrê wergire.

Em plan dikin ku di hefteyên were de van amûran çalak bikin, heke tecrûbeyên we yên amûra wergerandina beşê pozîtîv bin. Piştî ku hatine çalakkirin, em ê gotarên ku bi riya van amûran tên çêkirin bişopînin û tecrûbeyên we bipivîn. Herwiha, hûn dikarin hemû fikar û pirsên xwe li binê vê peyamê an jî li gotûbêja projeyê binivîsin.

Amûra wergerandina beşê biceribînin

Berî ku were çalakkirin, hûn dikarin versiyona niha ya amûrê li ser Wîkîpediyaya testê biceribînin. Piştî ku li Wîkîpediyaya kurdî hatiye çalakkirin, hûn ê karibin bi cîhaza ya xwe mobîlê bigihîn Amûra wergerandina naverokê. Hûn ê karibin gotareke ji bo wergerandinê bibînin û ji bo destpêkê jî dê wergerandina amûrên wergerê were nîşandan ji bo ku bikarhêner karibin vê wergerandinê baştir bikin.

Tecrûbeyên xwe bînin zimên

Ji kerema xwe re tecrûbeyên xwe yên li ser bikaranîna Amûra wergerandina beşê li ser gotûbêja projeyê bînin zimên. Em dixwazin fikrên we yên li ser:

  • Amûra wergerandina beşê,
  • Planên me yên çalakkirina amûrê,
  • Baştirkirina amûrê

bibihîzin.

Mala we ava. Em li hêviya bihîstina tecrûbe û pirsên we ne.

[[Bikarhêner:UOzurumba (WMF)]] Li şûna Tîma zimên a Weqfa Wîkîmediyayê.

Banga Pêşerojê ji bo Bersivdan di derbarê hilbijartinên Desteya Rêvebir de

Hûn dikarin vê peyamê li ser Meta-wiki wergerînin zimanên din bibînin.

Desteya Rêvebir ji 7ê Rêbendan - 10ê Sibata 2022an de ji bo Hilbijartinên Desteyê yên dahatûyê bangek ji bo bersivdayînê amade dike.

Dema ku hûrgulî dê hefteyek berî bangê were qedandin, me bi kêmî ve du pirsên ku dê di dema vê bangê de ji bo bersivdayînê bêne pirsîn û bêne piştrast kirin:

  • Awayê çêtirîn ji bo misogerkirina temsîliyeta adil a civakên nûjen di nav Lijneyê de çi ye?
  • Di hilbijartinan de divê namzed çi tevlêbûnê bikin?

Digel ku dibe ku pirsên din werin zêdekirin, tîmê Stratejî û Rêvebiriya Tevgerê dixwaze wextê peyda bike ji endamên civatê û hevalbendan re ku berî vekirina bangê li ser pirsên pejirandî fikir û ramanan amade bikin. Em jibo vî lêborînê dixwazin ku di vê demê de navnîşek bêkêmasî ya pirsan tune. Navnîşa pirsan divê tenê bi yek an du pirsan mezin bibe. Mebest ew e ku civatê bi daxwazan newestîne û lê li ser van pirsên girîng agahdarî û nerînên xêrxwaziyê peyda bike.

Hûn dixwazin di vê Bangê de alîkariya organîzekirina danûstendina herêmî bikin?

Bi koma Stratejî û Rêvebiriya Tevgerê re li ser Meta, li ser Telegramê bi e-nameya maîledresê re têkilî daynin.

Ger pirs û fikarên we hebin bikevin têkiliyê. Tîma Stratejî û Rêvebiriyê ya Tevgerê dê heta 3ê Çileyê bi kêmanî dixebite. Ji kerema xwe, jibo her bersivek dereng di vê demê de biborînin. Di heman demê de em dizanin ku hinek endam û hevkarên civakê di betlaneyên Kanûnê de negirêdayî ne. Dema ku hûn di betlaneyê de ne, em lêborînê dixwazin.

Baştirîn,

Stratejiya Tevgera û Rêvebiriyê

Upcoming Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

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 on Meta, on Telegram, or via email at msg(_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.

Updates on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Review

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hello everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees released a statement on the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines.

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The UCoC and the Enforcement Guidelines were written by volunteer-staff drafting committees following community consultations.

The revised guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. There is a list of changes made to the guidelines after the enforcement draft guidelines review. Comments about the guidelines can be shared on the Enforcement Guidelines talk page on Meta-wiki.

To help to understand the guidelines and process, the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team will be hosting Conversation Hours on 4 February 2022 at 15:00 UTC, 25 February 2022 at 12:00 UTC, and 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Join the conversation hours to speak with the UCoC project team and drafting committee members about the updated guidelines and voting process.

The timeline is available on Meta-wiki. The voting period is March 7 to 21. All eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the Enforcement guidelines, and share why. See the voting information page for more details.

Many participants from across the movement have provided valuable input in these ongoing conversations. The UCoC and MSG teams want to thank the Drafting Committee and the community members for their contributions to this process.

Sincerely,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Eligible voters are invited to answer a poll question and share comments. Read voter information and eligibility details. During the poll, voters will be asked if they support the enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct based on the proposed guidelines.

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The revised enforcement guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. A Wikimedia Foundation Board statement calls for a ratification process where eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the UCoC Enforcement guidelines in a vote. Wikimedians are invited to translate and share important information. For more information about the UCoC, please see the project page and frequently asked questions on Meta-wiki.

There are events scheduled to learn more and discuss:

  • A community panel recorded on 18 February 2022 shares perspectives from small- and medium-sized community participants.
  • The Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team is hosting Conversation Hours on 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Please sign-up to interact with the project team and the drafting committee about the updated enforcement guidelines and the ratification process. See the Conversation Hour summaries for notes from 4 February 2022 and 25 February 2022.

You can comment on Meta-wiki talk pages in any language. You may also contact either team by email: msg(_AT_)wikimedia.org or ucocproject(_AT_)wikimedia.org
