Participation using video and / or voice in addition to Chat is encouraged but not required.

Business planning The WANZ committee had a full day away planning on Friday 8 February. From that I have drafted the business plan and the Treasurer and I have been working on the budget for 2024-2025. The information is currently going through a round of commentary from the commitee and is also awaiting feedback from Jacqueline Chen, our Wikimedia Foundation Program Officer. These documents must be submitted to Wikimedia Foundation by 14 March at the latest to be considered for grant funding for 2024/25. If you have any commentary or feedback on any of the information in the planning documents please comment on my talk page or in the documents by by midnight Friday 8 March 2024 NZT so this feedback can be considered. The budget, business plan and reporting metrics are due for formal approval by the committee at the meeting on 11 March 2024.
Organising WikiCon 2024 Auckland I also have been working with CopperAlchemy organising WikiCon 2024 Auckland. Registration costs only $NZ10 and this is the link to the registration site. We've only had 7 registrations so far. If you're coming along you should register whether you are an organiser, presenter or attendee. Please do this as soon as you can so we can adjust the catering if needed. There are three full scholarships available covering flights and accommodation to attend. Please contact admin(@)wikimania.nz for more information and to apply. We've received only one application to date. The programme is almost there so check it out.
Chapter Status The committee is also continuing to work on reaching Chapter status with Wikimedia Foundation. We've received feedback from the AffCom committee and they've provided the committee with recommendations that we are working through. These recommendations may mean we need to change the constitution of our incorporated society. If this happens we'll vote on this at our AGM in April. If you've yet to be come a member of our society I do encourage you to become a member. Subscription is $NZ 5 a year. Membership application form is available here.
Secretary for the Committee We are currently seeking interest in a member of our society to stand as Secretary for the committee at the next AGM. This role would require around a 1 hour commitment a week. The majority of secretarial tasks are completed by Dianne Skelton, who is the WANZ executive advisor. There is a position description for the Secretary available on request that details the duties. If you're interested in this volunteer role please contact me on my talk page or email me at president(@)wikimedia.nz. I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the huge amount of mahi that Noracrentiss has given to WANZ in guiding the incorporation process and establishing the committee proceedings. Noracrentiss has done the heavy lifting of the set up and, going forward, whomever holds the secretarial position will benefit from the well established processes Noracrentiss put in place. While I know that the other committee members and I will miss Noracrentiss at our meetings after the AGM, I also know that Noracrentiss isn't leaving our community but rather changing the focus of her contributions. Thank you Noracrentiss for all of your support, friendship and contributions to date.
The committee is a group of friendly and enthusiastic people committeed to continuing to grow involvement in the Wikiverse in New Zealand. Being on the committee is not only an opportunity to give back to the community but also a great way to learn how to be on a board and to influence how the Wikiverse movement progresses in New Zealand. We have twice yearly away days. One for considering forward strategy and governance improvements, the other for business planning and budgetting. These provide committee members with an opportunity to get to know each other so we work well together and travel and accommodation costs are reimbursed from funds. There are a number of other places on the committee that are up for election this year. Contact secretary(@)wikimania.nz for more information and how to apply for nomination at the AGM.
