Key Matters for Discussion

Australian Music Project

James and Caddie have been in touch with the Australia Council and they have agreed to $10K for an Australian Music Month pilot project. Caddie to clarify required reporting, contract and financial flow. WMAU will then need to provide a services agreement with James.

Action
Action: Caddie to finalise proposal with Australia council and bring back the committee for approval
Assigned to Caddiebrain.

Newsletter review

Producing the current PDF monthly is very time consuming. Suggestion that we could move to an html based email sent to the current mailing list. Also need to review the subscribe page on the website to consolidate the email subscriptions. Communication with members and with external audiences is a priority. Twitter does well but Facebook doesn’t get much traction. But we can’t only focus on Twitter to reach all of our potential audience.

Proposal: That we no longer produce a fully formatted PDF newsletter (to save money and time) That we send text (roughly) fortnightly emails to our member lists (as per the last fortnight) with upcoming events and updates. Review the subscription lists on to make it clearer what to subscribe to - see https://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Mailing_lists Pru mentioned this may affect WMF reporting. Could there be a template for this depending on what the requirements are for WMF. Would also be good to focus on Diff blog as a key venue for promoting activities and news.

Action
Action: Alex and Caddie to discuss comms issues and work out a proposed way forward
Assigned to Caddiebrain.

Reminder to consult the 2020 Communications Plan - possibly need to review priorities

What positive message/advice can we give? Template:ACTION: Steve will look at drafting this and Caddie will review - not urgent

UCoC policy has been approved by the WMF Board of Trustees, currently in Phase 2 - community conversations and approval.https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct Template:ACTION: Watching brief to review this when the WMF Global Code of Conduct is determined.
