Za każdą odrobiną darmowej wiedzy w projektach Wikimedia

2
00:00:07,073 --> 00:00:09,442
na całym świecie są tysiące wolontariuszy i ponad

3
00:00:09,442 --> 00:00:11,811
sto organizacji afiliowanych, którzy sprawiają,

4
00:00:11,811 --> 00:00:14,547
że ta wiedza jest dostępna.

5
00:00:14,547 --> 00:00:19,486
And behind that growing movement of volunteers and organizers,

6
00:00:19,486 --> 00:00:22,455
is the Wikimedia Foundation, helping them do that work

7
00:00:22,455 --> 00:00:28,561
The Wikimedia Foundation is the global nonprofit dedicated to advancing free knowledge for every person.

8
00:00:28,561 --> 00:00:33,566
It supports the Wikimedia projects and the people who make them possible.

9
00:00:33,566 --> 00:00:38,938
The Wikimedia Foundation has a Board of Trustees to oversee its operations.

10
00:00:38,938 --> 00:00:46,980
The Board’s main goal is guiding the organisation, it has to hold the management accountable for

11
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:54,287
results of the organisation’s work, but without being directly involved in day-to-day operations.

12
00:00:54,287 --> 00:01:00,427
The Board of Trustees is made up of community-selected and Board-appointed individuals.

13
00:01:00,427 --> 00:01:05,098
These individuals each bring unique skills to their role as a Trustee,

14
00:01:05,098 --> 00:01:08,535
but all share a belief in our mission, values,

15
00:01:08,535 --> 00:01:12,172
and a desire to guide the future of the movement.

16
00:01:12,172 --> 00:01:15,408
There can be up to 16 trustees on the Board:

17
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:18,344
8 Community and affiliate-selected seats,

18
00:01:18,745 --> 00:01:20,680
7 Board-selected seats, and

19
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:23,650
1 founder seat.

20
00:01:23,650 --> 00:01:28,988
Each trustee serves a three year term, in at least one of the Board’s committees,

21
00:01:28,988 --> 00:01:32,692
with a time commitment that ranges weekly depending on

22
00:01:32,692 --> 00:01:36,496
specific roles & responsibilities of each trustee.

23
00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:41,267
Committees enable the board to fulfill its fiduciary responsibilities

24
00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:45,472
and ensure the board accounts for its essential duties.

25
00:01:45,972 --> 00:01:48,942
It enables us to strategically focus on priorities for

26
00:01:49,175 --> 00:01:51,778
the mission, Foundation, and Movement.

27
00:01:51,978 --> 00:01:56,500
The Committees include: Board Governance, Audit, Human Resources, 

28
00:01:56,500 --> 00:02:00,553
Product, Special Projects and Community Affairs.

29
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:04,591
The committees work on the priorities the Board has entrusted to them for the year,

30
00:02:04,591 --> 00:02:08,495
and then present recommendations to the full Board for its consideration.

31
00:02:08,728 --> 00:02:14,834
Our goal is always to have a group of people with integrity who together form a strategic,

32
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:20,640
thoughtful, collaborative, respectful and accountable board of trustees.

33
00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:27,013
Trustees know the movement, always strive to do what is best for it and all its stakeholders,

34
00:02:27,013 --> 00:02:31,651
and are also ready to learn and grow from serving on the Board.

35
00:02:31,651 --> 00:02:37,023
Board members play a vital role in shaping and approving our strategy,

36
00:02:37,023 --> 00:02:45,331
overseeing the CEO, and ensuring that the Foundation uses resources appropriately in pursuit of our mission,

37
00:02:45,331 --> 00:02:49,769
and championing our vision, mission, and values

38
00:02:49,769 --> 00:02:52,705
within our communities and in public.

39
00:02:52,705 --> 00:02:57,944
Let’s appoint the next visionary and dedicated Board of trustees, together.
