Notes

Movement Strategy implementation process

Topics for impact last Friday and today Align with environmental sustainability initiatives.

Sadads summarized the meeting from Friday. There was a consensus that the SDGs are a good place to start to define what is impactful. A larger conversation is on how we evaluate topics for impact and include local communities.

Sunday -- there was a wide consensus for a carbon neutral Wikimedia Movement -- But what does it mean? How to get there?

Big concensus on being stronger on bringing in organizations and experts to help bridge the information communication gaps? Free license content-- coordinating, elevating community coordination on climate.

Could the user group be a hosting body for people that would do more coordination in this area? Or should work done through the user group in this regard be hosted in another, well esatblished, affiliate? Several possibilities available.
