|---|
| subtitle-2820-6780-1 | "So let's review last week's assignments." |
|---|
| subtitle-7200-16500-2 | "And for each assignment I have a few general comments that are the result of checking the" |
|---|
| subtitle-16500-22470-3 | "submissions of people who have taken this course previously and after those general" |
|---|
| subtitle-22470-28620-4 | "comments about the assignment, some of which may be useful to you, I will share examples" |
|---|
| subtitle-29580-39120-5 | "of learners' work that are anonymized so that we don't unnecessarily share" |
|---|
| subtitle-40500-45480-6 | "local context or potential information about local partners, because the point is to get" |
|---|
| subtitle-45480-51090-7 | "the principles and we don't particularly care about the details of specific past" |
|---|
| subtitle-51090-52680-8 | "learners' work, of course." |
|---|
| subtitle-52920-62220-9 | "So about assignment one: Remember Assignment one was where you had to determine" |
|---|
| subtitle-62220-68370-10 | "whether a certain scenario that was briefly described is or is not a partnership." |
|---|
| subtitle-69660-72060-11 | "And you were given several such scenarios." |
|---|
| subtitle-72630-77850-12 | "So a couple of general comments that repeated in some of the submissions received" |
|---|
| subtitle-78030-84210-13 | "is some confusion about grants: are grants partnerships or not?" |
|---|
| subtitle-85250-93880-14 | "And, I make the distinction between a mission-based grant, like all the grants in" |
|---|
| subtitle-93880-103650-15 | "the Wikimedia movement, and donations or grants that are purely philanthropic" |
|---|
| subtitle-103890-107760-16 | "and not aimed at any particular mission." |
|---|
| subtitle-109090-111310-17 | "Although those are actually rare." |
|---|
| subtitle-111340-116950-18 | "Most philanthropic work, most philanthropic grants are, in fact, in service of a certain" |
|---|
| subtitle-116950-122830-19 | "mission. But certainly in our movement, in the Wikimedia movement, all the grants that" |
|---|
| subtitle-122830-126520-20 | "are given are to promote the Wikimedia mission." |
|---|
| subtitle-127780-132010-21 | "In other words, there exists a mutual benefit." |
|---|
| subtitle-132940-138460-22 | "Remember, that's one of the conditions for a partnership in our definition: There is a" |
|---|
| subtitle-138460-139810-23 | "mutual benefit." |
|---|
| subtitle-139960-145120-24 | "The benefit to the grantee, the group that is receiving the grant is, of course, that" |
|---|
| subtitle-145120-146410-25 | "they receive money." |
|---|
| subtitle-146410-149920-26 | "They receive funds that enable them to do their work." |
|---|
| subtitle-150280-153160-27 | "What is the benefit to the grant-maker?" |
|---|
| subtitle-154600-158560-28 | "The Foundation or any other group that is giving the grant." |
|---|
| subtitle-158830-164920-29 | "The benefit, of course, is that that work that this grant funds gets done." |
|---|
| subtitle-165220-166960-30 | "And why is that a benefit to the grant maker?" |
|---|
| subtitle-167350-172840-31 | "Because that work is work towards the grant maker's mission." |
|---|
| subtitle-173780-179360-32 | "When the Wikimedia Foundation, to take an example, gives an affiliate – a chapter or a" |
|---|
| subtitle-179360-184190-33 | "user group – some money to do some work in their country or their language or their" |
|---|
| subtitle-184190-191660-34 | "topic, whatever they are about, that work is progress on the Wikimedia Foundation's" |
|---|
| subtitle-191660-199280-35 | "mission. In other words, the Wikimedia Foundation is trading funds for progress on" |
|---|
| subtitle-199280-200780-36 | "its own mission." |
|---|
| subtitle-201050-203180-37 | "That's a benefit for the foundation." |
|---|
| subtitle-204740-211990-38 | "And so, again, I submit to you that mission-based grants are partnerships." |
|---|
| subtitle-211990-217900-39 | "There is a mutual benefit to both parties to the grant." |
|---|
| subtitle-219340-221120-40 | "And there is, of course, mutual..." |
|---|
| subtitle-221120-223470-41 | "I mean, there is investment from both sides as well." |
|---|
| subtitle-224410-228370-42 | "The foundation or the grant maker is investing money." |
|---|
| subtitle-228370-231070-43 | "The grantee is investing work." |
|---|
| subtitle-231070-236410-44 | "And skill and knowledge and and context and everything else that they bring other than" |
|---|
| subtitle-236410-239950-45 | "the money. So that's about mission-based grants." |
|---|
| subtitle-240340-241990-46 | "They are partnerships." |
|---|
| subtitle-242290-251320-47 | "And one learner mentioned something that I thought was curious and worth addressing." |
|---|
| subtitle-251800-258310-48 | "They thought that grants are not partnerships because it is the duty of the" |
|---|
| subtitle-258310-262900-49 | "Wikimedia Foundation to give grants and to fund affiliates." |
|---|
| subtitle-262900-268060-50 | "And because it is their duty, it cannot count as a partnership." |
|---|
| subtitle-270010-272290-51 | "So to that, I have to say: A." |
|---|
| subtitle-272290-278530-52 | "it is not correct that it is the duty of the Wikimedia Foundation to give grants." |
|---|
| subtitle-278530-285040-53 | "The Wikimedia Foundation chooses to give grants as one vehicle, one way, of making" |
|---|
| subtitle-285040-286390-54 | "progress on its mission." |
|---|
| subtitle-286780-291460-55 | "But there's nothing in the Foundation's bylaws that requires it to give grants." |
|---|
| subtitle-292120-298120-56 | "And certainly, even if it were the case that it had to give grants, it still doesn't have" |
|---|
| subtitle-298120-300490-57 | "to give any particular grant." |
|---|
| subtitle-300670-308200-58 | "That is, when a grant proposal is made, the Foundation is certainly under no duty to give" |
|---|
| subtitle-308200-309220-59 | "that grant." |
|---|
| subtitle-309250-314620-60 | "It can say no to this grant and give some other grant if it thinks that this grant" |
|---|
| subtitle-314620-319150-61 | "proposal is weak or unrealistic or poorly thought out." |
|---|
| subtitle-320260-322570-62 | "So no, there is no such duty." |
|---|
| subtitle-322570-330580-63 | "And even if there were, it wouldn't really cancel the fact that, like I said, a" |
|---|
| subtitle-330580-336070-64 | "mission-based grant is a mutual benefit to both grant maker and grantee." |
|---|
| subtitle-337100-344780-65 | "Um, and another point of confusion from past learners that maybe confused you as well is" |
|---|
| subtitle-344780-350570-66 | "the question of whether a collaboration between communities, between Wikimedia" |
|---|
| subtitle-351110-353840-67 | "affiliates or communities, can count as a partnership." |
|---|
| subtitle-354590-360650-68 | "For example, a collaboration on an international writing competition such as CEE" |
|---|
| subtitle-360650-363150-69 | "Spring or Wikipedia Asian Month." |
|---|
| subtitle-363170-365960-70 | "Those are linked from the assignment." |
|---|
| subtitle-368580-374040-71 | "And again, some learners thought, "well, that's just Wikimedia with Wikimedia, so it's" |
|---|
| subtitle-374040-375150-72 | "not a partnership"." |
|---|
| subtitle-376920-379260-73 | "But I think it is a partnership." |
|---|
| subtitle-379260-382650-74 | "It's a partnership between this affiliate and that affiliate." |
|---|
| subtitle-382650-386520-75 | "It doesn't matter that they're all part of the same Wikimedia movement." |
|---|
| subtitle-386520-392490-76 | "They are two groups that don't generally work together all the time, who are" |
|---|
| subtitle-392520-399180-77 | "partnering, who are collaborating on this one thing, both of them putting in effort and" |
|---|
| subtitle-399180-401250-78 | "both of them deriving benefits." |
|---|
| subtitle-401730-402990-79 | "There is a mutual benefit." |
|---|
| subtitle-402990-409680-80 | "When you participate in these international writing competitions, you you gain attention" |
|---|
| subtitle-409680-414900-81 | "and motivation for your community from the international participation, from the" |
|---|
| subtitle-414900-419940-82 | "international prizes and prestige of potentially winning the competition, etc.." |
|---|
| subtitle-420240-426930-83 | "So there is a symmetrical mutual benefit to both groups or the 15 groups that are" |
|---|
| subtitle-426930-432510-84 | "participating in such a competition, and it can definitely count as a partnership." |
|---|
| subtitle-433290-436920-85 | "So these are some general comments on assignment number one." |
