Since 2011, the representatives of the chapters and working groups from the countries of Latin America, Spain and Italy (Iberocoop), have held an annual meeting to talk about the local projects, interchange experiences and better practices, and develop the Wikimedia movement goals in their own languages. This year Wikimedia Mexico hosted the event in Mexico City, with the attendance of 15 representatives of chapters and working groups. Besides this year were invited Patricio Lorente and Maria Sefiradi as Board members representatives, Asaf Bartov and Jessie Wild from the staff of the Wikimedia Foundation and Kira Kraemer from the Chapters Dialogue project. Also, in this time, it was possible for remote members to watch the sessions by streaming.
During this talks and work sessions the Iberocoop members took important decisions to improve the internal practices of every chapter and group. Among other decisions, Ibercoop agreed:
- To share and develop better practices on planning and growth of every chapter and group.
- To include metrics as part of the evaluation of their programs.
- To create "Iberotec", as technical instance of Iberocoop to assist this group in their own languages.
- To have a coordinator who drives the projects and keeps motivation. Carmen Alcazar from WMMX was elected as such.
- An Admission rule to Iberocoop.
- List of joint projects.
