Wikimedia México/Propuesta de grupos de trabajo/en

This proposal was originally discussed and approved in spanish.

Description

The purpose of the Task force Proposal for Wikimedia Mexico is to have a structure prior to the founding of the chapter, to perform volunteer work, and to set goals to be achieved in the short and medium term in order to create a chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation in Mexico.

Rationale

This organization will be useful in defining future areas of action that the first chapter and the foundational structure will have .

Each subgroup will consist of a coordinator (nominated by self or by others) and a group of volunteers. The preliminary organization as a whole will have a general coordinator and a secretary.
