Presentation[editar]

First slide[editar]

Wikimedia in Brazil is a movement of autonomous volunteers:

  • Instead of a legal entity, we are an open movement
  • Instead of bylaws, we have a “statement of principles”
  • Instead of legal representantives, volunteers can be assigned by peers to specific tasks
  • Instead of internal finances, grants can go through partners, because action comes before material resources.

Second slide[editar]

Goals:

  • foster collaboration and mutual trust
  • empower everyone to act autonomously
  • avoid risk of potential lawsuits
  • do not manage financial resources

Practices:

  • subscribe to “statement of principles"
  • have all the same status, without hierarchies
  • ask the Foundation to use its trademarks
  • partner with other organizations when needed
