What’s in this episode? 

Affiliates are the recognized organizations and groups in the Wikimedia movement that support volunteers, advocate for free knowledge and come together as the backbone of the movement. We talk about how Wikimedia’s somewhat ad hoc affiliate landscape has emerged, discuss the relationship between organizations and communities, and imagine what role affiliates can play in a future global council.

We hear from..

a movement veteran, Andrew Lih, and Wikimedia Norge’s Executive Director, Elisabeth Carrera.

They also share their takes on the draft movement charter!
