  • What do you think are the benefits and responsibilities of functioning as formal affiliates, and when is a group of Wikimedians ready to form an affiliate?
    Wikimedia movement affiliates exist to further the goals of Wikimedia. Depending on their affiliation model, they do so by engaging in a wide range of activities such as promoting the Wikimedia projects so that new and different people join them or use them, investigating and negotiating partnerships on a moral or financial basis to support the Wikimedia projects, promoting Free Content and wiki culture in their respective scope, helping outside organizations use Wikimedia content, possibly for their own benefit, e.t.c.
    A group of Wikimedians can form an affiliate when they are ready to:
    • Comply with movement policies and governing principles,
    • Organize offline and online activities to support Wikimedia.
    • Maintain expertise within group's scope that is accessible to Wikimedia community, etc.
  • Please describe your experience working with conflict resolution, and how you have helped build consensus and support diversity.
    I experienced one during my service in a student fellowship, the two parties involved in the conflict were called and both party was asked what happened and they both explained and from their explanation the conflict was resolved and both parties were told what each of them should have done better.
