Bonjour,
I have this idea for some time : Define different levels of accountability
for the different organizations of the Wikimedia movement, depending on
the amount of money they manage.
We can define 5 or 6 levels and for each level, a range of accountability
criteria. The more high the level is, the more stringent are the criteria.
For each level, a maximum amount of money is also defined. We can also
consider date of creation for new organizations for the first levels.
For example:
Level A1: organization existing for less than 2 years and wants to manage less
than $ 20,000
Level A2 : organization has existed for more than 2 years and wants to
manage less than $ 20,000
Level C: for organizations which wants to manage between 20,000 and $
100,000
Level C: for organizations which wants to manage between 100,000 and $
500,000
Level D: for organizations which wants to manage between 500,000 and $ 2
million
Level E: for organizations which wants to manage over $ 2 million
*Number of level and figures here are just provided for information.*
In addition to compliance with their national accounting and tax rules, WM
organizations would have also to meet the "accountability level" to be
able to handle the level equivalent money amount.
These criteria must be defined in the movement by an ad hoc committee and
easily verifiable. Each year the committee checks that organizations meet
criteria for the level they ask for and announce publicly the level of
each organization and the not complied points in case of refusal of a
level for a given organization.
This "levels system" would allow a greater accountability transparency in
the movement, it will make the various organizations know which level of
accountability they must meet without discouraging new or small
organizations with excessive criteria (in view of the risk with the
amount of money). It will also provide a known pathway and an possibility
of anticipation for demanded accountability for growing organizations
which be able to establish the necessary organization or recruitment to
take a step forward.
What do you think of the idea?
