Wikimedia Foundation/Legal/Brand Stewardship Report/pl
 | The Brand Stewardship Report is now published. We welcome feedback and questions about the report here on the discussion page. |
The Wikimedia Foundation Legal and Brand Studio teams are working on a report to bring awareness to the unique and shared work across departments of the Foundation to provide stewardship of the Wikimedia brands.
Stewardship is one of the Foundation’s guiding principles and it means ‘caring for or improving with time.’
The goal of this report is to educate people both new to and seasoned in the Wikimedia movement about the complex and fun process of stewarding the Wikimedia brands which includes projects and ongoing processes to amplify awareness, usage, and support as well as maintain and protect legal trademark rights through policy and practice. This report is meant to be evergreen with a cadence of metrics and/or project updates. It will be published on wikimediafoundation.org, similarly to the Transparency Report.
We would like your feedback on the report’s content outline below. What sections are you most interested in? Are there other aspects of the work on trademarks and brands that you would like information about? Please let us know on the Talk page by August 22, 2022.
