One of the findings of the Finance Meeting in Paris was, that the founding of a umbrella organisation for the Wikimedia-Chapters was promoted. Especially conflicts and discussions with the Wikimedia Foundation brought up the wish for a strong coalition of the Wikimedia-chapters. It was interesting to see, that the WMF appreciated the founding of the Wikimedia Chapters Association. Their intention is, that the monitoring duties, which are at the moment done by the WMF could be done by the chapters themselfe. It would be better for all of us, to controll ourselfes ourown and build up new guidlines for professional working and serious handling of trademarks and donated money. | |||
As it was difficult in the past to find a common opinion under the chapters, it was now difficult to found the Wikimedia Chapters Association. Many details had to be clarified for whitch it was very difficult to find an agreement. Wikimedia Austria was one of the first chapters to support the idea of an umbrella organisation and to provide a delegate and a budget (5.000 EUR). Many other chapters followed this example afterwards as ithas been published on Meta-Wiki. | |||
Until the Wikimedia-conference in March proposals for a Charter were worked out, which could then be over-worked and finally signed by at least some of the chapters. Instead of a general secretary – which would have been funded by Wikimedia Germany for the starting-phase – a team was built to set the further steps towards the founding which was planed at the Wikimania 2012. | |||
At the Wikimania 2012 the WCA was founded by 18 delegates of chapters. The elected chairman Fæ from UK and his vice-chairman Ziko van Djik from the Netherlands then overtook the leading of the new organisation.
