Hi everyone,
Your input is needed.
*Fowarded as recieved*
*===========================*
Dear African Wikimedians,
Making Wikimedia events a friendly, welcoming environment in which all
users can interact fruitfully, learn from each other and inspire each
other, is a goal we all share. The Wikimedia Foundation currently is
looking into supporting this goal with an improved Friendly space policy,
specifically tailored to our big international events. We will build the
policy in a way that it will also serve as a minimal standard for all
Foundation supported events.
We do not want to build this new policy without input, ideas or comments
from the African community as well. Please visit the consultation page on
meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy_consultation_2019>
[1], leave your input and spread the word to other Wikimedians! You are
very welcome to leave ideas and comments in other languages than English,
please use the language you feel comfortable expressing yourself.
We are also looking for help in translating the consultation page and also
this message. So if you could help with this or spread the word we need
help translating, we will also be grateful!
Of course you are also welcome to come back to us via email with any
questions you have.
Hoping to hear from you on Meta,
Cheers,
Samuel

Rosalie

Hi everyone,
If you are interested in serving on the CoC committee, please consider this
mail by reading it all :) and write an email to techconductcandidates AT
wikimedia.or. <http://wikimedia.org>

Hello all,
It's coming close to time for annual appointments of community members to
serve on the Code of Conduct (CoC) committee. The Code of Conduct Committee
is a team of five trusted individuals plus five auxiliary members with
diverse affiliations responsible for general enforcement of the Code of
conduct for Wikimedia technical spaces. Committee members are in charge of
processing complaints, discussing with the parties affected, agreeing on
resolutions, and following up on their enforcement. For more on their
duties and roles, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Committee
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ombudsman_commission>
This is a call for community members interested in volunteering for
appointment to this committee. Volunteers serving in this role should be
experienced Wikimedians or have had experience serving in a similar
position before.
The current committee is doing the selection and will research and discuss
candidates. Six weeks before the beginning of the next Committee term,
meaning 23th of April 2019, they will publish their candidate slate (a list
of candidates) on-wiki. The community can provide feedback on these
candidates, via private email to the group choosing the next Committee. The
feedback period will be two weeks. The current Committee will then either
finalize the slate, or update the candidate slate in response to concerns
raised. If the candidate slate changes, there will be another two week
feedback period covering the newly proposed members. After the selections
are finalized, there will be a training period, after which the new
Committee is appointed. The current Committee continues to serve until the
feedback, selection, and training process is complete.
If you are interested in serving on this committee or like to nominate a
candidate, please write an email to techconductcandidates AT wikimedia.org
with details of your experience on the projects, your thoughts on the code
of conduct and the committee and what you hope to bring to the role and
whether you have a preference in being auxiliary or constant member of the
committee. The committee consists of five members plus five auxiliary
members and they will serve for a year; all applications are appreciated
and will be carefully considered. The deadline for applications is end of
day on 20th of April, 2019.
Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think
may be qualified and interested.
Best,
Amir on behalf of the CoC committee
