There is a multi-affiliate Regional Hub effort for the ESEAP region -- that is, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. They expect to apply for a substantial grant in 2024. One focus would be language translation, as this area has >40 active languages and it adds difficult to their meetings and other planning.
The ESEAP Hub shared a broad statement of principles on meta.
Members of Wikimedia Indonesia are particularly active.
Charter for ESEAP hub
As of Feb-Apr 2024 there is a new draft charter for the ESEAP hub. A preparatory council prepared it; 8-10 people listed at the ESEAP hub charter page on meta. It is to be ratified, perhaps at the upcoming ESEAP conference/Congress. Some elements of the charter:
- Article 1 addresses purpose, mission, and geographic scope: "The service scope of ESEAP as a hub includes Wikimedia affiliates and informal communities of Wikimedians from Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Fiji, FS of Micronesia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Kiribati, Korea, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Taiwan, Thailand, Timor Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Vietnam, and other countries so identified by its Council." Article 2 addresses categories of stakeholders.
- Article 3 addresses the annual Congress; it has elaborate and demanding detail; not wiki-ish. There are electeds in the Congress, I think, as well as in the executive ESEAP Council which is to have 9 members. Members of each have terms. The hub is to have an annual plan and a budget. The council members are elected by and from the Congress electeds.
- Article 4 addresses annual Congresses and meetings of the ESEAP Council; as specified they would be formal, somewhat elaborate, and on a fixed schedule specified here, except for a category of special meetings.
- Chapter 5 addresses finance; the hub is apparently expected to have substantial assets and high quality financial statements
- Chapter 6 addresses adoption and ratification and a bare-bones minimal specification of an amendment process.
