This page outlines the requirements and expectations of Wikimedia chapters as outlined by the Affiliations Committee. Chapters are independent non-profit organizations founded to support and promote the Wikimedia projects within a specified geographic area.
Voraussetzungen für eine erfolgreiche Anerkennung
Die Anforderungen zum Aufsetzen eines offizielle anerkannten Wikimedia-Chapters wurden entworfen, um Gruppe zu helfen, Erwartungen der Bewegung zu erfüllen, wenn sie anerkannt wurden.
- Wikimedias Unterstützungsmission
Die Mission der Organisation muss mit der Mission und Vision der Wikimedia Foundation, wie auch mit den Leitprinzipien der Wikimedia Foundation und den Prinzipien der Wikimedia Organisationen übereinstimmen. Ungeachtet der gewählten juristischen Form oder Vereinigungsmethode muss das Chapter Ziele haben, die denen der Wikimedia Foundation ähneln und seine Aktivitäten sollten nicht zu sehr davon abweichen. - Geographischer Fokus
Das Chapter ist geografisch basiert/verankert in einer juristischen Zuständigkeit. Anders als Projekte, die sprachbasiert sind, sind Chapter Einheiten, die eine geografische Zuordnung benötigen. Das impliziert, dass sie in einem Land/Zuständigkeit verankert sind, die ihnen eine Basis für ihre rechtliche Struktur bietet. Diese Basis sollte in der Region sein, in der sie tätig werden wollen. Während es unterschiedliche Benutzergruppen geben kann, die in ähnlichen oder dem gleichen geografischen Gebiet tätig sein, kann es nur ein Chapter geben, das einem bestimmten geografischen Gebiet zugeordnet ist. - Rechtliche Struktur
Das Chapter muss eine rechtliche Struktur/Körperschaft haben, die rechtlich unabhängig von der Wikimedia Foundation ist. Chapter sollen Projekten eine Struktur im realen Leben geben, die von Autoren oder externen Parteien gestartet werden, die mit den Zielen der Wikimedia Foundation übereinstimmen. Chapter sollen jedoch nicht die Wikimediaprojekte betreiben oder juristisch verantwortlich für die Inhalte der Projekte sein. Um das zu erreichen, ist es notwendig, dass die rechtliche Struktur, die für die Gründung eines Chapters gewählt wird, klar unabhängig von der Wikimedia Foundation ist. Die grundlegenden Dokumente der Organisation, im Allgemeinen Satzungen, müssen vom Affiliations Committee geprüft und bestätigt werden.
- Critical mass of active Wikimedia contributor involvement
The chapter must involve at least ten, preferably at least twenty, active contributors to the Wikimedia projects. An active contributor is defined as a members with 300 or more contributions to a Wikimedia project on a registered account that has existed for more than 6 months in good community standing (meaning they are not currently suspended or otherwise prevented from participating). While chapters should welcome the input of people who are not active contributors to the Wikimedia projects, they should not stay too far from the community. The active involvement of contributors to the Wikimedia projects is necessary for a chapter to be able to bring real-life initiatives tied to the Wikimedia projects to life. Initial membership should broadly reflect the intended scope, geographic area of activity, and chosen languages of operation of the organization.
- At least two years of activities
Groups must have two years of demonstrable programmatic results prior to applying for chapter recognition. Ideally these activities should be done as a recognized Wikimedia user group. These activities, and their results, must be documented on-wiki, ideally on the group's Meta-Wiki page. Wide outreach efforts to encourage participation and involvement in setting up and shaping the organization are necessary. Activities should be a mixture of online and offline activities designed to encourage participation on the Wikimedia projects. The group must be up to date on its activity and financial reports prior to being considered for recognition.
- Capacity, or planned capacity, to meet the future expectations
Something that makes chapters and thematic organizations unique from user groups are the increased expectations. Does your group have the capacity to meet the expectations of chapters once you receive recognition? This will be something both the Affiliations Committee and Board of Trustees will consider in reviewing your application. If your group does not have a track record of activities which indicate that you will successfully be able to meet these expectations, that can cause your application to be denied. Consideration will be given for the financial circumstances of the group, realistic demands in your group's focus area, and plans to secure future funding to meet these expectations.
Expectations beyond recognition
Beyond the requirements for recognition, which continue to be requirements for groups after they are recognized, there are a number of expectations from the Wikimedia community on the activities and operations of a chapter.
- Regular on-wiki financial and activity reports
Chapters are required to post at least one detailed annual report on their activities and finances on the Meta-Wiki reports page. The community has come to see that signs of a healthy organization also include reports throughout the year and a published annual plan for the organization. While an annual plan and regular reports are not required for affiliation status, they may be required for grants, and are a community expectation.
- Notification of governing document and leadership changes
The group's governing documents are initially reviewed and approved by the Affiliations Committee. The agreement with chapters also requires that they notify the Wikimedia Foundation of any changes to those documents. The community also expects that the current governing body of the organization is identified on Meta-Wiki.
- Multiple offline and online activities each quarter
The fundamental goal of the Wikimedia movement affiliates model is to promote collaboration on the Wikimedia projects. Affiliates are expected to hold a variety of events, both online and offline, to help support this goal.
- Monitor and respond to communications issues related to group's scope
A chapter is expected to have the capacity to monitor, and when necessary, respond to communications issues related to their thematic scope. That includes monitoring of media coverage of their topic when it involves Wikimedia, and distributing information about Wikimedia activities to the group's members and network. chapters are expected to coordinate with the Wikimedia Foundation Communications department while performing these tasks.
- Monitor and respond to public policy matters related to group's scope
A chapter is expected to have the capacity to monitor, and when necessary, respond to public policy matters related to the group's scope. All Wikimedia organizations are expected to utilize effect strategy when performing these tasks, and not engage on issues outside the scope of Wikimedia's mission. Movement affiliates are encouraged to focus on five primary areas the Wikimedia Foundation has identified for Wikimedia public policy activities. They are strongly encouraged to utilize the public policy site maintained and developed by the Wikimedia Foundation, and coordinate with the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department while performing these tasks.
- Compliance with movement policies and governing principles
Wikimedia movement affiliates are required to maintain compliance with movement policies and governing principles. Primary examples of these include the Wikimedia Foundation Guiding Principles, affiliate principles, trademark policy, visual identity guidelines, and friendly space policy.
- Maintain expertise within group's scope that is accessible to Wikimedia community
Chapters are expected to both maintain an expertise within the group's geographic scope and make that expertise accessible to the broader Wikimedia movement. This important resource role helps volunteer working on the Wikimedia projects to have documented knowledge bases to contact for assistance in performing Wikimedia tasks.
- Collaboration with other affiliates and volunteer projects
Wikimedia chapters are expected to play a coordinating role within their respective thematic focus, and this is a distinctive role they play among Wikimedia organizations. While there can be several other affiliates working within the group's geographic focus, there will be only one chapter. Entities working on a geographic focus are not in a hierarchy, but need to agree how to co-exist to streamline their communication and avoid duplicate work.
- Represent Wikimedia at public events related to group's scope
Based on their geographic focus expertise and utilizing their communications capacity, chapters are expected to have the capacity to represent the Wikimedia movement and its interests at public events when called upon to do so.
- Diverse funding sources
Chapters are expected to seek funding from diverse sources. Chapters are strongly encouraged to utilize the Wikimedia Foundation's grants program. However, chapters are also expected to explore other means of funding, such as member dues, outside grants, or traditional fundraising activities.
