[Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy: Feedback requested on draft outline of Transition events
Hi everyone,

This is an update regarding the progress of the Movement Strategy and the
design of the transition events.

The Transition Design Group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transition/People>
[1] has over the past month been discussing how to create events that can
facilitate a smooth and inclusive Transition process for the movement to
start implementing the Movement Strategy recommendations
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Recommendations>
[2].

The Support Team has been sharing weekly summaries
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transition/Updates>
[3] from the Design Group discussions, which have largely centred around
people and process for the Transition events, as well as ensuring
legitimacy of the process, needed resource, and communications. Transition
will mark a major milestone for our movement to create a collaborative,
18-month implementation plan that will begin to shape the future of our
work, culture, and collaborations.

The Wikimedia Foundation will organize the virtual Transition events,
planned for September to December, 2020. Your help is needed to make sure
the events can be as inclusive, participative, and engaging as possible. We
are excited to share the outline for the transition events
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transition/Events_Outline/Draft>
with you and invite everyone to provide feedback [4].

The draft outline offers both light and detailed information regarding the
events. Even though the draft outline is available only in English at the
moment, the actual events will be multilingual with materials available in
a variety of languages and formats. The Transition events aim to be easy to
join only once or for multiple events. They are for everyone, whether a
newcomer or a seasoned strategy enthusiast. They are being designed for
diverse participation across time zones and regions in order to create a
movement-wide implementation plan.

The review period for the draft outline is for two (2) weeks from August 06
to 20. After receiving your feedback, the Design Group will finalize the
plan and the Wikimedia Foundation will ensure the delivery of the events
according to the design.

Please comment on the talk page on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transition/Events_Outline/Draft>
[5] and feel free to use the questions below as an orientation:


1.

How can the plan be improved? In your opinion, what are some barriers to
entry that must be lowered so everyone can take part in Transition?
2.

How can we make sure that you and your community have what you need to
participate in the Transition events?
3.

If you have attended other virtual events, what has your experience been
like and what lessons can be applied in this case?


We are hosting office hours to hear from you. Join us on Tuesday Aug. 11 @
15.00 UTC (LINK <http://meet.google.com/gtf-dpdu-bqs>) or Thursday Aug. 13
@ 01.00 UTC (LINK <http://meet.google.com/niq-pdex-cjk>). Alternatively,
you can share your thoughts directly via email strategy2030@wikimedia.org.

Hoping that everyone is well and safe in these challenging times in the
world. Very grateful for your time and attention.

On behalf of the Support Team,

Kaarel

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy: Feedback requested on draft outline of Transition events [ In reply to ]
Bonjour à tous,

Ceci est une mise à jour concernant les avancements de la Stratégie du
Mouvement et de la conception des événements de transition.

Le groupe de design de la transition [1]
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transition/People>
a débattu au cours du mois de juillet dernier de la manière à mettre en
place des événements qui peuvent faciliter le processus de transition en
douceur et sans entraves pour le mouvement et commencer à mettre en œuvre
les recommandations de la Stratégie pour le Mouvement [2]
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Recommendations>
.

L'équipe de soutien a partagé des résumés hebdomadaires [3]
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transition/Updates>
des discussions du groupe de conception, qui se sont largement concentrées
sur les personnes et le processus relatifs aux événements de la transition,
ainsi que de garantir le caractère légitime du processus, les ressources
nécessaires et la communication.

La transition marquera une étape importante dans notre mouvement pour la
création en collaboration, d'un plan de mise en œuvre de 18 mois destiné à
façonner l'avenir de ce que l'on fait comme travail, de la culture et des
collaborations.

La Wikimedia Foundation organisera les événements virtuels de Transition,
prévue de septembre à décembre 2020. Nous avons besoin de votre concours
pour nous assurer que les événements vont être aussi inclusifs,
participatifs et mobilisateurs que possible.

Nous sommes ravis de partager les grandes lignes des événements de
transition avec vous et n'hésitez pas à inviter tout le monde à vous faire
part de ses commentaires [4]
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transition/Events_Outline/Draft/fr>
.

Le présent avant-projet (draft) offre des informations à la fois légères et
détaillées sur les événements. ces derniers seront multilingues et les
documents seront disponibles en une variété de langues et de formats. Les
événements de transition visent à être faciles à joindre sur un ou
plusieurs événements. Ils sont destinés pour tous, qu'il s'agisse d'un
nouveau venu ou un adepte chevronné de la stratégie. Ils sont conçus pour
une participation diversifiée à travers les fuseaux horaires et les régions
afin de créer un plan de mise en œuvre à l'échelle du mouvement.

La période d'examen du projet de plan est de deux (2) semaines du 6 au 20
août. Après avoir reçu vos commentaires, le groupe de design finalisera le
plan et la Wikimedia Foundation assurera la réalisation des événements en
fonction de la conception.

Veuillez commenter la page de discussion sur Meta [5]
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transition/Events_Outline/Draft>
et n'hésitez pas à lire et répondre aux questions ci-dessous pour vous
orienter :

1. Comment le plan peut-il être amélioré ? À votre avis, quels sont les
obstacles à qui doit être abaissée pour que tout le monde puisse participer
à la transition ?
2. Comment pouvons-nous nous assurer que vous et votre communauté
disposez de ce dont vous avez besoin pour participer aux événements de
Transition ?
3. Si vous avez participé à d'autres événements virtuels, quelle a été
votre expérience et quelles leçons peuvent être appliquées dans ce cas ?

Nous vous invitons à nous joindre durant les heures de permanence.
Rejoignez-nous le mardi 11 août à 15.00 UTC (LINK <
http://meet.google.com/gtf-dpdu-bqs>)
ou le jeudi 13 août @ 01.00 UTC (LINK <http://meet.google.com/niq-pdex-cjk
>).
Vous pouvez également nous envoyer un e-mail à cette adresse :
*strategy2030 [image:

En espérant que tout le monde se porte bien et en sécurité en ces temps
difficiles dans le monde.

Nous vous sommes très reconnaissants de votre temps et de votre attention.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy: Feedback requested on draft outline of Transition events [ In reply to ]
This is a bit like your local pizza place asking you what time you're going
to pick up the pizza you didn't actually order.

"Here are the recommendations. Now let's start implementing those
recommendations!" is definitely something that's missing a middle step.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy: Feedback requested on draft outline of Transition events [ In reply to ]
Dear Dan,

Thank you for sharing your insight and choosing a vivid real life metaphor
for surfacing your concerns! It is really relatable in current times. I
would like to build on your metaphor to provide more context for the
situation and I hope this will be helpful in clarifying some things.

== Metaphoric description ==

- Perhaps this is not *your personal* pizza delivery, but actually it is
a *community or family circle* event to which pizzas are being ordered?
- Perhaps indeed the *decision to order pizzas has been made* by some
other group of people, but it often happens in these community or family
events that not everyone is being involved in making general decisions
regarding the basic choice of food, because it would be really
difficult, in many cases and some families *nearly impossible* to come
to a (timely) decision. That is the reason why a general choice is often
delegated to a representative / trusted group of people.
- I think you are right that it is the local delivery place that is
indeed on the phone, but I don't think they are yet asking the delivery
time. I believe the question is rather what type of pizza do you want, *what
are the toppings that respond best to your needs*?
- There might be historical choices: *pizza bianca* or *pizza rosso*?
- More modern choices: no crust or cheese crust?
- And also highly controversial choices: pineapples or not?
- Some of the people at the gathering will be vegetarian or vegan and we
need to clarify and accommodate their dietary preferences, which come with
certain complexity. E.g. not all of them are fungivores or mushroom eaters
and some of them would rather have their pizza without cheese than to taste
a plant made cheese like product.
- There will be an even trickier approach in relation to gluten
intolerants. Even if there are a number of pizza enthusiasts in the bunch,
maybe the choice of pizza in the end does not fit all ... But now how do we
mitigate that? Do we go with a low quality topping salad from the pizza
place or figure out something else?
- Setting these complexities aside the key question is - *how would you
and your friends want your pizza*? And maybe you would be so kind to
tell us while we have the local pizza place on the phone so we can actually
get what you want. Otherwise it might be indeed a rather random choice from
the menu or we don't get anything. Which is not really helpful

== Without metaphors ==
Now, what do I mean by this?

- We had a rather representative group of people from different corners
of the movement who did intensive and extensive work on the
recommendations. You can find the numbers of the composition in the
selection process report [1]
- Their background from different contexts in the movement was
sufficient to map out essential challenges and opportunities for the
movement and work on the general direction of the solutions to support the
future development of the movement
- We did consult a wider range of stakeholders to validate the initial
thinking and significant changes were made over the course of iterations of
the recommendations. [2]
- Especially during the first iteration, some of the recommendations
were on the level of actual implementation, which we realized needs in many
cases to be contextual, so the recommendations were facilitated to a much
higher level in later stages.
- At the same time a meaningful engagement with most of our communities
happens around the questions of
- *What do these high level ideas mean in practice? and*
- *How are we actually going to implement these ideas?*
- This is why we need to ensure that we have wider representation of
really diverse contexts in the transition discussions, so we can actually
make informed and contextually relevant decisions about the implementation.
This is why we have created a representative co-design group [3] to discuss
how we are actually having these conversations in an inclusive and
participatory way and this is why we are currently consulting on the
initial draft plan [4].
- We have had significant shortcomings and misses in previous outreach
events (some of which I cover in a meta thread on our transition discussion
page [5] - feel free to jump in there). I think we learned from it and the
online consultations in the beginning of the current calendar year [6] were
much more successful than the previous ones. What we do know is that we
cannot afford substantial shortcomings in engagement now, when
recommendations move from theory to practice, when we actually start to
implement things. We need to have tough conversations about the tradeoffs
together and ensure that decisions are being made with people affected by
these decisions sitting at the table. *Nihil de nobis, sine nobis* [7].
- *In short*
- We need your insights now to think through and improve the
engagement around movement strategy in the upcoming transition events
- Even more we need wide participation at the events so we are all
informed by different perspectives and contexts when making
decisions about
the implementation of the recommendations

I hope it all makes somewhat sense and I am happy to clarify my
perspective, history of the process, and plans for the future further.
Thank you so much for a metaphoric approach in your question - it really
made my day and it was a joy to write my own metaphoric response.

Have a great continuation to the month of August!
Kaarel
