Thanks Andreas, Mathieu, Christian, Asaf, Cornelius, and SJ for advancing
the conversation and promoting the video. I felt inspired also so I started
an article on English Wikipedia.

[Yaroslav Blanter]

For the record, at the talk page of the endorsement page,

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Direction/Endorsement

we have a small number of contributors, including myself, who explain why
they refuse to endorse the document. I do not expect us to be heard though.

Cheers

[Wikimedia-l] Fwd: Movement Strategy: Endorse the strategic direction today! #wikimedia2030

[Kaarel Vaidla]

Dear fellow Wikimedians,

As a volunteer member of some of the support groups for phase 1 of movement
strategy process [1], I am excited about the Endorsement Day and am one of
the people who has *individually endorsed
*
strategic
direction

.
With my letter to Wikimedia-l I would like to remind everyone that there is
this possibilty of individual endorsement that may not have really been
highlighted. So, if you personally feel like endorsing the direction, you
are more than welcome to do that!
I am happy to see already quite many endorsements on respective meta page.
I am also happy that there are people presenting their discord with
strategic direction in a constructive way on the endorsement discussion page
.
I think that it is important not only to endorse or not endorse the
document, but also to give rationale why it is done. I believe that this
will help us in moving forward together with Phase 2 and learn as we go.
As a result I have written a small essay in my user namespace

presenting some of the reasons why I am happy with what we have achieved in
phase 1 and with having a strategic direction for our movement. You may
agree or disagree, but I feel it is important to express one's opinion.
Also I encourage everyone else to share their reasons for liking or
disliking the direction with wider Wikimedia public, so we can learn more
and have even more meaningful phase 2.
I thank you for your time and kind attention!

Best regards,
Kaarel Vaidla

[Tim Moritz Hector]

Dear all,

I am sharing with you what I just also added to the endorsement Meta page:

During our Board meeting on Saturday, we agreed that both the Board and the
Executive Director of Wikimedia Deutschland wholeheartedly and unanimously
support the new Strategic Direction. In light of its fundamental nature, we
will submit the new Strategic Direction to our general assembly for
deliberation and final approval on November 18, 2017.

We all look forward to shaping the future of our movement together in the
coming weeks, months and years.

Best regards,
Tim Moritz Hector

It would have been possible, had there been any subtitles. It
seems the
YouTube version at the moment contains only machine-generated
subtitles,
and those are not available in the same mechanism as human-generated
subtitles, so the (wonderful) video2commons tool could not import
them.

[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Movement Strategy: Endorse the strategic direction today! #wikimedia2030

[Nicole Ebber]

Dear Wikimedians,

Today marks the final milestone of phase 1 of our movement strategy
process. Over the past eight months, many of you, of your peers,
colleagues, partners and friends have contributed to an endeavor that
resulted in the new Strategic Direction of the Wikimedia movement.

This direction provides us with an answer to the question: What do we
want to build and achieve as a movement over the next 10–15 years: By
2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the
ecosystem of free knowledge, and anyone who shares our vision will be
able to join us.[1]

On behalf of the strategy team, it’s with great pleasure that I invite
you today to declare your intent to work together towards this future.
Organized groups as well as individual contributors of our movement
are invited to endorse the Strategic Direction by adding their
signature to the endorsement page on Meta-Wiki. You will find all
necessary instructions there.[2]

By endorsing the Strategic Direction, you are not necessarily agreeing
with every single outcome of the first phase. Endorsing means that you
commit to participating in the next phase of this discussion in good
faith and to help define, by Wikimania 2018, how to come to an
agreement on roles, responsibilities, and organizational strategies
that enable us to implement that future.

In addition to signing the meta page, you are all welcome to use the
#wikimedia2030 hashtag on social media to celebrate and share your
excitement with the world and encourage other Wikimedians to show
their support, too.

Ideally, please leave questions or remarks on the talk page, to make
it easier to follow-up in a structured way.

Thank you!
Nicole

[Wikimedia-l] Endorsement for the movement’s strategic direction

[Itzik - Wikimedia Israel]

The board of Wikimedia Israel, on behalf of the Wikimedia Israel chapter,
wish to express its support and endorse the strategic direction, drafted by
the movement’s strategic team.

The board read, discussed and decided unanimously to endorse the strategic
direction and to express its gratitude for the movement's efforts so far.

WMIL was proud to take part in this process. We hosted several board &
community meetings to discuss the different topics raised by the strategic
team in each phase. We also hosted a salon strategy dinner [1] with a group
of experts from the communication, education and high-tech industries.

We found these meetings not only a contribution to the strategic process
but also as a great opportunity for our members to share and listen to
their friends’ ideas and visions for our movement. It was super important
and interesting to listen and learn from experts outside of our movement
and we will look forward to hosting these kinds of meetings and working
groups outside of the current strategy process as part of our yearly work.

We wish to thanks the whole team involved with leading this process so far
and we look forward to working together on the next phase of this
discussion.

Thank you!
