The Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team was formed in March 2021, when Movement Strategy joined the Board governance facilitators (tasked with supporting the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees selections) under Quim Gil’s leadership. In mid-2021, the Universal Code of Conduct facilitators joined the MSG team. The team further grew to include Movement Strategy programmatic roles, as well as community facilitators representing all eight regions, using a regional approach as a vehicle for equity in community participation: East and Southeast Asia and Pacific; Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia; Latin America and the Caribbeans; Middle East and North Africa; Northern America (USA and Canada); Northern and Western Europe; South Asia; and Sub-Saharan Africa. The primary role of the facilitation team within the context of broader community engagement is stakeholder building. The team’s focus was on providing support to communities and engaging communities on topics related to Movement Strategy and Governance. This support included engagement around the Universal Code of Conduct, Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees selections, Hubs, Movement Charter, and supporting initiatives like Movement Strategy Implementation Grants and the Movement Strategy Forum. In April 2023, as part of the Wikimedia Foundation’s Annual Planning Process, the Wikimedia Foundation’s role in Movement Strategy processes changed. Due to this shifting role, the Movement Strategy and Governance team was dissolved. Movement Strategy implementation is being coordinated more centrally through the office of the CEO, with emphasis on supporting the success of the Movement Charter. In an effort to maintain and improve Movement Engagement, some MSG teammates (those tasked with facilitation) were moved to the Movement Communications team and others (those leading or coordinating Movement Strategy work) continued within Community Resilience and Sustainability. The single exception involves Movement Strategy grants, which were moved to the Advancement department, which is also taking a leading role in Foundation support of hubs. |
Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team supports the participation of Wikimedia communities and affiliates in the Movement Strategy initiatives. We also support major policy and governance matters, such as the Terms of Use, Universal Code of Conduct and Board of Trustees elections.
Who we are
The MSG team belongs to the Community Resilience and Sustainability team of Wikimedia Foundation's Legal Department. The MSG team includes the Movement Strategy core team as well as a number of facilitators specializing in different wiki projects, languages and regions. Facilitators connect volunteers, communities and affiliates with initiatives to gather feedback, hear their thoughts and appreciate their concerns. Our goal is to achieve a common understanding and agreement of how an initiative can be implemented.

What we do
The MSG team’s work is guided by the Wikimedia Foundation's Annual Plan. The team is rooted in advancing knowledge equity, strengthening movement governance and health and improving the Foundation’s performance and effectiveness.
