[Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy: Community conversations have finished, what happens next
Hi everyone,

Open, facilitated community conversations for the pre-final movement
strategy recommendations finished on February 21, 2020. I would like to
sincerely thank everyone – individual contributors, affiliates, and the
Wikimedia Foundation – who took part in the discussions and shared
feedback.

== What happens next ==
We have summarized the input received from across the movement and compiled
it in a short report, which is now on Meta [1]. This report provides a
brief overview of the major areas of support and debate regarding the 13
recommendations and the principles,
and ways to improve the document as a whole.

This report and the linked material will be the input provided to the
writers for finalizing the recommendations next week. As some affiliate
events are still under way, incoming information up until the meeting will
be summarized.

=== Integrating feedback and finalizing recommendations ===
Detailed feedback from communities, guidance from the Wikimedia Foundation
Board of Trustees, and input from reviewers will be reviewed and analyzed
to help create the final version of the recommendations. For this, six
former working groups members and one strategy salon community organizer as
well as the core team and Wikimedia Foundation Chief of Staff, Ryan
Merkley, will meet from March 10 to 12 in New York City [2] to work
together in person. They will be joined for part of the meeting by
Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director Katherine Maher. Following this
meeting, the content and language will be reviewed for clarity and then
translated, and we aim to have the recommendations finalized and published
in late March.

== Update from the Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees ==
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees has reviewed the pre-final
version of the movement strategy recommendations. Last week, they published
a statement [3] outlining their thoughts on the process overall and the
recommendations.

I’d like to thank the Board of Trustees for their careful and thoughtful
review of the recommendations and for the support and guidance that they
have provided throughout the movement strategy process.

If you need any further information about movement strategy, please check
our FAQ page [4] or feel free to reach out to me.

Best wishes,
Nicole
