Hello-hello! I am writing to you as a coordinator of the pilot of the ecosystem of movement organizations <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Updating_the_ecosystem_of_Wikimedia_organizations> and I am reaching out to you in relation to some progress made in this workstream and the Global Resource Distribution Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_Resource_Distribution_Committee>. My hope is to better include South Asian and ESEAP insights and feedback in the ongoing conversations. As a result, I am proposing a dedicated virtual workshop for you this Sunday, March 1, from 07:00 to 08:15 UTC. You can add the event to your calendar using this link <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=MTI1bW9yNmlybjdxNWIzZzk0amVxY2c1dTYga3ZhaWRsYUB3aWtpbWVkaWEub3Jn&tmsrc=kvaidla%40wikimedia.org> .
During this workshop we will provide short updates regarding the ongoing work to then split into two breakouts: 1) one focusing on the proposals regarding the future purpose, functions, and tiered structure of affiliates coming from the ecosystem pilot focus group, 2) other diving deeper into the proposal of global funding principles from the Global Resource Distribution Committee. We will be documenting the conversations to ensure that perspectives from these regions are well represented to inform the future steps. We will also keep the documentation open for some time for any asynchronous feedback from people who will not be able to join the call, but are overall interested in the topic. Let me know if you have any questions or clarifications regarding this! Looking forward to having a good, constructive conversation with many of you! Thank you for your very kind attention! -- *Kaarel Vaidla* (he/him) Movement Strategy <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy> Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>
