Dieser Beschluss zur Genehmigung der Mission und des Umfangs des Chapters Committee wurde am 4. April 2006 per Abstimmung (3 Zustimmungen, 2 Enthaltungen) angenommen.

Beschlossen, dass:

Das Kuratorium die Mission und den Umfang des Chapters Commitee genehmigt, die wie folgt definiert sind

Mission

Die Wikimedia-Projekte haben einen internationale Umfang und durch ihre Reichweite haben sie bereits weltweit große Auswirkungen gehabt. Die Mission des Chapters Committee besteht darin, diesen Erfolg weiterzuführen, indem es die Organisation von "Chaptern" koordiniert. Dabei handelt es sich um lokale Gruppen, die die Ziele der Projekte unter besonderer Berücksichtigung ihres lokalen Einflusses vorantreiben.

Chapters are a source of essential local knowledge for the Wikimedia Foundation, and provide the community with a point of contact capable of fulfilling specific local needs. Existing chapters have proven that these groups are invaluable in expanding and developing Wikimedia's level of international cooperation, and the Committee will ensure that their proper role within the organization is fully realized.

Creating an organization from scratch is a hard task. Creating one capable of fulfilling the requirements of a "Wikimedia chapter" is even harder. One of the Committee's tasks is to make this process an easier one.

Another task of the committee is to guide emerging chapters through their founding process by helping them draft bylaws, answering questions about what the Foundation expects from a chapter, approving limited financial support (if required), and providing general help and advice.

We understand that people from different cultures, living in different countries and under different legal systems, will have unique ideas and requirements for the function of a chapter and will encounter various needs and concerns along the way. Each chapter will be approached individually with this in mind.

For existing chapters we will act as the first point of contact with the Foundation and try to solve any problems that might arise, or point people in the right direction.

Handlungsumfang

The Chapters Committee will replace the former position of Chapter Coordinator. Its main tasks will be:

• Ensuring the representation of Wikimedia worldwide in close coordination with the Wikimedia chapters
• Assisting chapters in the early stages of development with obtaining a Wikimedia Foundation endorsement
• Ensuring the flow of information between the Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia chapters
• Coordinating agreements and actions between the Wikimedia Foundation Board and chapters, as with contracts/fundraising/sponsoring
• Facilitating coordination between chapters

The Chapters Committee should not be a replacement for direct communication between the Wikimedia Foundation Board and Wikimedia chapters, but should facilitate communication and exchange of information.
