So sorry to see yet another good idea go to waste. Hopefully the new
personalized approach will help some of us to fill the gap in notoriety
between Wikipedia and Wikimedia.

After year-long work, attentive listening and thoughtful conversation
between the Board, Wikimedia Foundation staff, and community advisors, the
committee has come up with a recommendation for next steps. The
recommendation was unanimously approved by the Board and captured in the
above mentioned resolution. The Wikimedia Foundation will therefore be
resuming its role to steward and protect Wikimedia brands, in partnership
with our broader movement, and the ad hoc Brand Committee concludes its
work .

They already may.

This resolution by the Board directs the Foundation to offer support for
this task to the affiliates.

Hello Tito -

 "Supporting flexible naming for all affiliates, including the use of
taglines" means two things.

First, affiliates can continue using the names they choose. Second, new
work will be undertaken to develop short phrases ("taglines") that
affiliates can use optionally to show connection to the Movement or to
specific projects. These taglines might be phrases like (for example) "part
of the Wikimedia Movement" or "supporting Wikipedia in Nigeria" that enable
partners, press, and members of the public to better understand an
affiliate's work.

Greetings,
Thanks for the update. I thank the board for taking this action.
What does "supporting flexible naming for all affiliates, including the use
of taglines;" mean, that is mentioned on the Diff blog post?
