**Task** This task captures the scoping of the following request. The scoped work will be considered as part of the prioritization of work for the Research team. **Request** A white paper by Wikimedia Foundation to convey "[...] to researchers the principles of our movement and give specific recommendation for researchers on how to study and write about Wikipedians and their personal information in a way that respects our principles." ([[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World_War_II_and_the_history_of_Jews_in_Poland#Formal_request_to_the_Wikimedia_Foundation_for_a_white_paper_on_research_best_practices | original request ]]). **Audiences** - The request comes from [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitration_Committee | en:wiki ArbCom ]]. The panel of editors is not a Wikimedia affiliate or user group, however, they are an organized group as part of enwiki. If we respond to this request, this audience is the primary audience that we will serve. - Developing best practice material is at the service of the Wikimedia volunteer researchers as well. In that sense, we can think about the output of the task as something that serves the research community more effectively and joyfully contribute to the Wikimedia projects. ([[ https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Research_Community_Vision_and_Strategy | vision ]]) **Next steps** - Leila prepared a preliminary response to ArbCom's request in collaboration with T&S. The response will be shared with ArbCom on June 1st by Maggie. - Maggie/Nathan will share updates from the June 1st meeting. We will take the input from that meeting into account when scoping this task which should be discussed and planned for as relevant as part of our annual planning work during June 2023.
