Wikimedia Australia respects the rights of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and every effort will be made to work respectfully within their cultural protocols. Wikimedia Australia supports projects, events, or collaborations which can demonstrate that they are guided and supported by the traditional knowledge holders relevant to the proposed project.

Wikimedia projects that involve Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people and content will ideally:

- Be initiated and led by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people
- Demonstrate the participation of key community representatives
- Deliver demonstrable benefits, resourcing and funding to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to enable skills development and the sustainability of projects.

Mostly re Wiki Club West issues in section at end of this document

  • Agenda lag - the need to re-configure either agendas, business or something as the amount of things that are beneficial to get through but seem to drop off from meeting to meeting - the prospect of some material being lost between years not just months - where most of the things that could be and should be dealt with an early face to face in the earlier part of the committee cycle seem not to be discussed at all
