Description

Wikimedia is embarking on a bold strategic planning endeavor, with your help: a strategic planning process that will help define directions for the Wikimedia movement over the next five years. This will involve surfacing priorities and shared goals that we can all work towards. There are several ways to help:

Participate on a task force: Task forces will be the backbone for the strategic planning process. They will be given a specific topic and questions to answer related to emerging strategic priorities. Task forces will be responsible for engaging in in-depth research, analysis, and dialogue in order to produce recommendations for the community and the Wikimedia Foundation on their topic. Over the next few months (from October to mid-December), task force members will be asked to commit a substantial amount of time to this work. Each task force will have a core group of 5-10 members who will be asked to volunteer up to 10 hours per week or 100 hrs in total preparing, researching, and consolidating the group's work.

Provide your expertise on an ad hoc basis: If you have expertise that you would like to offer to the planning process, but you don't think you have time to serve on a task force, please describe who you are, what role you would like to play in the process, and how you could help.

The task force application process will be open through October 5, 2009 or until 2,000 applications are submitted, whichever comes first.

Applications will be subject to the Wikimedia Foundation privacy policy. If you apply to serve on a strategy task force and are selected to do so, the information you provide, with the exception of your email address, will be publicly shared on the task force description page.
