[edit]_en_el_Palacio_de_Nymphenburg,_M%C3%BAnich,_Alemania35.JPG)
Hello everyone!
The Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network (SWAN) is a developing forum for all Wikimedia movement affiliates to share ideas about current developments in the Wikimedia Movement. It expands on the model of the All-Affiliates Brand Meeting to help lay some of the groundwork for further Wikimedia 2030 strategy process work.
At this meeting we will focus on the results of the Movement Charter ratification. We will also discuss the aftermath of the Board of Trustees' decision to veto the Movement Charter, including their recent proposals. We will also cover updates about upcoming Wikimania 2024.
This month, we are meeting on Sunday, July 28, and you are all invited to RSVP here.

Introduction to affiliate health criteria form on Meta-wiki
[edit]Dear Wikimedia movement affiliates,
This communication is immediately relevant to some of you; for others, it is just 'for your information'. This communication has updates on the affiliate reporting requirements for affiliates listed here in Group B, the ones with their reports due after 1 November 2024. This excludes affiliates that are the General Support Fund grantees, who should have received an email from the Program Officer about the update to their reporting obligations.
In June 2024, the Affiliations Committee resolved to adopt a set of Affiliate Health Criteria. In order to implement these criteria, we are streamlining the reporting process for the current fiscal year (July 2024-June 2025).
As an affiliate impacted by this change, here is how your reporting is affected:
- You will use a new Meta-wiki form that includes prompts related to the Affiliate Health Criteria. You will create a report for your affiliate using a shared template. You can review a detailed instruction on how to use the template here, including using the TemplateData extension. The report may link other documents, including other reports or any relevant updates your group has prepared.
- You are no longer required to submit any affiliate reporting information to the Wikimedia Affiliate Data portal. Wikimedia Foundation staff will update the portal based on the reports you create on Meta-wiki.
Here is what will not change:
- Your existing timeline for affiliate reporting.
- Any reporting requirements your affiliate has related to grants or funding.
If you have any questions about these changes, please reach out to cst@wikimedia.org or join one of the information sessions on November 7 or November 8. In the meantime, you can learn more about the implementation plan here.
There will be additional information sessions offered early in 2025. We recommend that designated representatives of 'Group B' affiliates with a reporting date from November 2024 to 31 January 2025 to attend one of these sessions to learn more.
Best regards,
