WikiQueer Global Advisory Board

The Global Advisory Board is the highest editorial and advisory body within WikiQueer. This diverse group of individuals from across the globe provides feedback on the future direction of WikiQueer and provides counsel on challenging editorial decisions.

Contents

Criteria

Members are selected by The Aequalitas Project, with input from current members, based on their contributions to these fields:

  • Advocacy
  • Ballot initiative leadership
  • Civil rights law
  • Communications
  • Faith-based outreach
  • Grassroots organizing
  • Historical studies
  • Journalism
  • Mobile app development
  • Nonprofit management
  • Public education
  • Political science
  • Queer studies
  • Social justice
  • Social media
  • Sociology
  • Web development

While a basic understanding of wikis and the Internet is helpful, it is not a requirement for membership. Anyone with leadership experience and an eagerness to participate in the project is encouraged to apply.

A diverse background is appreciated, as such, identifying as queer is NOT a requirement for participation on the Global Advisory Board.

Expectations

Members of the Council are expected to donate at least 1-3 hours a month to the project.

This time can be used in a variety of ways. That includes, but is not limited to:

  • Getting the word about the project out
  • Helping develop strategic plans
  • Expanding WikiQueer's content
  • Suggesting new initiatives
  • Developing your own ideas further
  • Securing funding for WikiQueer
  • Developing or presenting online trainings

This flexibility makes membership very manageable for folks with restrictive and demanding schedules.

All members are asked to be available to respond to emails from system administrators within 5 days. This is especially important when you are asked to advise on an editorial decision.

Communication is handled online and archived for your convenience. Google App, Gmail and project management support is available to members who request it.

Administrator access

Being a member of the Global Advisory Board does not guarantee administrator access will be approved. Global Advisors are permitted to request administrator rights directly from the Lead Administrator, who may then consult with other members of the Global Advisory Board. While Global Advisors may opt out of the public request for administration duties, they are not elevated to any higher level than other WikiQueer Administrators and are held to the same policies, procedures and expectations.

Applying

Anyone is welcome to apply to join the Board by contacting WikiQueer. Please be sure to mention the username you selected when registering your WikiQueer account.
