== Thematic Areas ==
The key thematic areas have evolved from conversations we have had in our movement for years, for example in various [[<tvar name="WMCON">Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Conference</tvar>|Wikimedia Conference]] sessions and group discussions on governance, resources, diversity, partnerships, etc. For each of these areas, the Core Team has mapped the focus and a couple of core questions that need to be answered to enable us to fulfil the Wikimedia mission and advance us in the Strategic Direction. The key questions these Working Groups are addressing all focus '''on the structural level, not on programmatic work'''. Many of those questions have been persistent over the years; they are [[<tvar name="questions">Special:MyLanguage/Chapters Dialogue/Summary</tvar>|enduring questions]]. For the first time, we do not only have a process to answer them, we also have a mandate and the necessary resources. '''Click on the name of the thematic area to read more''':

<sup>1</sup> During the [[<tvar name="WMCON2018">Wikimedia Conference 2018</tvar>|Wikimedia Conference 2018]], the Working Group “Roles & Responsibilities” proposed “Power Dynamics” as a title instead. As power is only a part of the broader conversation around global, regional and local responsibilities and roles, and we wouldn’t want the group to only concentrate on this aspect, and the Strategy Core Team decided to keep the original name.

<!--T:36-->
<sup>2</sup> At Wikimedia Conference 2018 this Working Group was named "Technology", but after some consideration regarding the extensive scope of the group, the Core Team has decided to rename the group to "Product & Technology".
