| 必須回答的問題 | ||
| 您為何競選維基媒體基金會理事會成員？您會為維基媒體基金會理事會貢獻什麼？您想進一步了解什麼？ | 我相信在維基媒體基金會理事會任職是確保維基媒體運動2030策略的建議和倡議得到策略承諾（如年度計劃進程）的最佳方式。我將繼續致力於成為堅定的維基媒體成員，傾聽並參與對話、活動和會議，以確保在與執行長、員工和維基媒體基金會理事會的策略對話中討論社群觀點，在有利於或影響維基媒體運動的情況下，支持方向或優先事項的轉變。 | |
| 請描述您的維基媒體經驗（例如：對維基媒體專案的貢獻、維基媒體組織或維基媒體自治體的成員資格、作為維基媒體運動組織者的活動或參與維基媒體運動盟友組織）。 | - 編輯
維基媒體成員：新知評選的數量， #5；以文章數量計算，頭100名；以編輯數量計算，頭150名。新頁面巡邏評論者：#7。年度維基媒體成員，2016共同得主; 受封爵士，2018，部分原因是我的維基百科工作。
- 組織者：活動、委員會等等的清單。 | |
| 從您的角度來看，維基媒體基金會在未來 5-10 年應該優先考慮什麼，為什麼您認為這些是最重要的優先事項？ | 我戴著一個矽膠手鐲，上面刻有：「WWHSD？」（「Hari Seldon 會做什麼？」）。就像這個虛構人物思考和計劃遙遠的未來一樣，我思考我們維基媒體運動的遙遠未來…從現在起 10 至 100 年。因此，我認為這些是我們應該優先考慮的四個領域：
為什麼？：我相信這是世界對我們的需求，也是消費者（讀者、虛擬助理、聊天機器人等）、編輯、貢獻者、組織者、合作夥伴和捐贈者對我們的需求。 | |
| Optional questions - Professional Experience, Skills and Education | ||
| Please describe your experience with governing bodies of organizations (nonprofit or for-profit), mentioning the scope of your responsibilities, as well as the complexity of the organization (in terms of scale of operations, budget, number of people involved, or other meaningful measures) and the size of the board or body. | 1. Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees (2021-present). Elected in 2021 for a 3 year term. I serve as Chair, Talent & Culture Committee. Member: Executive Committee and Community Affairs Committee; also, Sibling Projects Task Force. Previously: Governance and Audit Committees.
2. Board of Directors, Wikimedia District of Columbia (WMDC) (multi-state programmatic operations of a 501(c)(3) public charity) (2016-2021). Appointed, 2016. Vice-President, 2017-2021. Among my responsibilities: Human Resources and Friendly Space. 3. Co-founder, Women in Red (established July 2015).

| Please describe your professional career experience. | Professional career: healthcare industry. Since 1990, I worked for a large corporation (national; later international) that provides healthcare services: administrator, contract management, talent acquisition. Memberships: PMI SHRM, and ERE. Retired in 2016.
In 2017, I became a Wikipedia Visiting Scholar at Northeastern University's Digital Scholarship Group. My work focuses on pre-20th-century, trans-Atlantic, English-language women writers and their works (on Wikipedia and also a Wikidata project). Unpaid position. | |
| Please briefly describe 3 situations that show how you tackled, or advised others on, a complex problem in an organization. How did you work with others to address the situations? | 1. I helped bring together leaders from WM-CA, WM-DC, WM-MX, and WM-NYC during Wikimania Esino Lario (June 2016) to coordinate WCNA 2016 as a regional conference (previously, it was US-based). Together, we developed plans for it to occur in October and I agreed to be a co-grantee. It was a success (4 days; 7 tracks; >300 attendees).
2. In November 2020, the WCNA Core Team was still unable to decide whether to facilitate an online-only conference before the end of the year (e.g., COVID pandemic) because we were inexperienced with such a model. I suggested that the learnings from facilitating an online-only conference could be incorporated in future WCNAs so we don't have to be perfect this time; it's okay to take the risk and make mistakes. A successful virtual WCNA 2020 occurred in December (3 days; 4 tracks; >150 attendees) with several learnings. | |
| Please describe your educational background, including degrees, certificates, and courses of study finished, and their relevance to board work. | BA in Business Management, and later, an MBA degree. Also, post-graduate certificate in "Healthcare Executive Leadership". More recently: Board Leadership Development Program (2022), Team Dynamics/Board Practice Series (2023), and Essential Facilitation (2024).
Relevance: MBA degree is quite relevant as the Board's mission is to focus on organizational strategy, a central component of this degree. | |
| Please add any relevant links describing your professional background, experience, profile (such as LinkedIn, staff page, etc.). | - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosiestephenson/ | |
| Optional questions - Leadership Experience | ||
| Please describe ways in which you have helped to form a bridge between multiple communities (such as by working on projects outside your home wiki, or working on a collaboration between multiple affiliates). | 1. Wikimania 2023: co-founded WikiWomenSummit x Wikimania (WWS). "Building bridges" day for strategy, skill-building, leadership development, celebrations. Goal: repeat WWS at future Wikimanias, shifting format to support each year's unique ideas/requirements/Core Team/attendees.
2. Helped develop ideas on the Community Health Working Group (2018-20). 3. Elected to the Affiliations Committee (2016-2021). Served on its Conflicts Committee all years. Officer (Secretary, 2017; Chair, 2020-21). 4. In 2016, I ideated that WCNA become an Affiliate to retain/incorporate learnings into future convenings. To date, WCNA is the only conference-based Affiliate. | |
| Can you describe a policy, on wiki or off, that you helped to create or change? What did you learn from this experience? | ||
| How have you been able to empower people to make their voices heard? | Create safe spaces; provide opportunities for dialogue; inspire and encourage to build on it. Example: at
WikiWomenSummit x Wikimania 2024, we will soft-launch a new concept: WikiWomenSummit X Lunch, which empowers women at regional wikiconferences to convene lunchtime meetups (program, scope, time, format varying with each iteration). | |
| Sometimes in professional situations, there are personality conflicts. Explain how you remain productive even with personality conflicts. | Listen and learn before reacting; remain polite and civil; focus on issues. Understand that perceptions vary; we don't all see things the same way. | |
| Optional questions - Strategic Thinking | ||
| Where do you see the need for greater diversity in the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees or within the movement? What steps would you take to improve diversity on the Board or within the movement? What steps would you recommend the Board take to improve diversity? | Current Trustees incorporate gender and age diversity (for transparency, I'm 70 years old); represent four continents. An "Advisory Board" would bring additional perspectives. Historically, an "Advisory Board" existed. Currently, "Volunteer Advisory Members" serve on the Board's Governance and Audit Committees, plus the Community Affairs Committee's Sister Projects Task Force -- but this is different than an "Advisory Board". This would be a possible approach to provide opportunities for Wikimedians in underrepresented parts of the world, e.g., with representation from each region (per "Regional Grants Committees" alignment). | |
