00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:13,000
[In Dutch] Hello! I am Ciell. I am an admin of the Dutch Wikipedia and a member of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee.

2
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,200
I'm Daria Cybulska, and I'm a member of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee, 

3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,200
My main role, in the movement, is the Director of Programs at Wikimedia UK.

4
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:40,000
The Movement Charter will be the first document in 20 years that will capture the roles and responsibilities that we have in the Wikimedia Movement.

5
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:48,000
As editors we all know, from the principle of subsidiarity, we are the ones that govern our own projects.

6
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,000
But who takes all those other decisions? 

7
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:59,000
There never was one place that captured all the decision-makers.
And now there is!

8
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,000
There is a Wikimedia Movement Charter that guides you through these first steps.

9
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:13,000
The Movement Charter is a document that outlines the roles, responsibilities, rights, and common values of the Wikimedia Movement.

10
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:23,000
As the movement grew a lot of the structures got created organically, and so a lot of things are assumed and not explicit, not written down.

11
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:34,400
So, actually, part of the Charter is to simply write down the things that are functioning in the movement, so that we have a common map of the organized parts.

12
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:45,200
It also clarifies some of the directions, some of what is important to us in the movement, that is particularly explicit in the values chapter.

13
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:55,000
There are some new governance structures that are introduced, especially the Global Council, and Hubs.

14
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:06,000
For me a new concept that is introduced in the Charter that I am very interested in is the Care Responsibility.

15
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:16,000
It's a responsibility that is being placed on any organization in the movement, and it relates to the communities that this organization supports or serves.

16
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:23,400
The responsibility means that any organization needs to provide an inclusive and diverse working environment for community members;

17
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,000
It needs to support their activities, and uphold those movement values in the communities.

18
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:39,400
I hope you'll be inspired to engage with the Charter further, so that we can ratify the first document of this kind for our global movement.

19
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
[Polish] I cordially invite you to the discussion!

20
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,000
[Russian] I cordially invite you to the discussion to learn what you think of the Charter! Thank you!
