Wikimania preparation

The design of the Community Health session at Wikimania's Strategy Space was thoroughly discussed. It was agreed that Pavan and Jackie will receive help from the Core Team in facilitating the session, but will be free to design it and run it in the manner they prefer.

Given the limitation of time, the group will have to prioritize which recommendations to discuss at the Strategy Space. Pavan and Jackie are to decide which ones, as there wasn't much specific feedback from other members on that regard. Other members are to submit any questions/proposals to Jackie & Pavan before Tuesday, as the program design will be fixed as soon as Wikimania's main event kicks in.

Other Agendas

The following agenda items were postponed into a later meeting due to the urgency of Wikimania setup:

Further Work on Recommendations
Start of expert analysis
Determining the need to Identify and interview more experts

06 August

The Core Team held a Wikimania design session with the representatives of the Working Group at Wikimania. The Working Group highlighted the fact that some community members might be without a background of the Movement Strategy Process and some recommendations might not be accepted by the Community.

Review in person meeting

Members of the group are generally happy with the in-person meeting in Amman. There was an impression that it helped “build confidence” in the process of recommendation articulation, as well as remote participation which went remarkably well.

Next steps: Pre Wikimania and Post Wikimania.

The group agrees that the collective summary document, created by Sandra, is appropriate to be submitted to the Core Team.
Pavan & Jackie may set up a special call to discuss how to use it at Wikimania and how to prepare for the conference.

External Consultant's work: Status

Working Group members are in touch with the researcher. It’s not clear whether it’s appropriate for her to start working now, but the group agrees that her contract must be signed ASAP.

Expert interviews: Status

Mervat is in charge of phrasing a reply to the respondents who are asking to retrieve their survey answers. She’ll discuss the message with the group before sending it over.

Wikimania meeting

The next regular meeting might be cancelled depending on Pavan & Jackie’s decision regarding a special Wikimania preparatory meeting.
