I am also withholding my endorsement until the assertion that Mandarin
could overtake English is corrected, and I endorse the "harmony is not
unison" description of views other than mainstream, towards fringe.

Hello again,

I have taken the unclear wording from the meta page. As I said, no one
will be excluded from phase 2 conversations.

I would also like to point out that this endorsement page is intended
to work like a show of approval and support instead of an RfC. We are
asking people to support it, to show that they agree upon the outcomes
and intent to contribute to the following process in good faith. It's
a group exercise that is also meant to show what unites us as a
movement.

It is no surprise that not everyone will like everything in the
direction, that's probably in the nature of such a document, and in
the nature of a strategy process. For those of you who have expressed
concerns and wonder about the clarity of the direction, phase 2 will
be the the space for all these conversations.
Well, harmony is not unison, and we promote diversity so it would be 
actually strange to *not* hear some dissonance here and there.


I found the previous process interesting to look and participate at, but 
either individual should not be asked to endorse it, or it should be 
permitted to also be clearly neutral and opposed to it.


That is, either the foundation

 * is trying to identify a direction built and assented by the
   community¹, which is fine;
 * or is trying to push some direction, while taking more or less into
   consideration feedback from the community, which – as far as I'm
   concerned – is fine too.

But you can't play both sides while throwing a unified façade at the 
face of the world. When you have (as I'm writing) 1 explicit 
{{neutral}}, 9 explicit {{opposed}}, 8 explicit and 68 implicit 
{{support}}, I don't see the point of hiding disagreements. All the 
more, if endorsement don't play any role in participation in future 
phases, and that there is in fact no actual way to oppose to its 
adoption as is as a base for the next phase. What the point of this 
endorsement at all? Why don't run phase 2 after phase 1 just like have 
been done for cycles?


Finally, where is "knowledge equity" when endorsement requires that 
people "are endorsing the original English version"?


Also, endorsement by groups is a different point, as groups can (and do) 
discuss pros, cons and uselessness of such an endorsement. It would be 
interesting to know at the end of the endorsement how much groups 
expressed endorsement compared to the number of group that the 
foundation or some chapter officially recognize.


And to end on a more positive not, I want to recall that I did deeply 
appreciate participating in this strategy process so far, which produced 
interesting debates both off line and on line, and I already met two 
people making social science works who manifested interest for the 
archived discussion it generated.


Ĝis baldaŭ

¹ That is, from the extreme minority within the community which do care 
to give an answer and pass all the technical/language barrier to do so.





I will now restore the original status of the sections for organized
groups and individual contributors, without any sorting order but the
time the endorsement has been made.

Best,
Nicole

Hi all,

By endorsing, people and organizations state that they agree that the direction is the right way 
for us as a movement to move forward, and that they commit to participate in phase 2 conversations 
in good faith. And in phase 2, we will discuss how to fill this direction with life. The next steps 
will will be designed as an inclusive process, but we won't "oblige" anyone to contribute 
to phase 2, nor will we "ban" people from it. A look into our FAQ can further clarify:

"How you use the outcomes of this discussion is up to you. Some individuals or 
organizations may use it to inform programmatic or organizational strategy. Others 
may see it as a way to connect with the broader movement and invite others to 
contribute to Wikimedia.
Some may not use it at all – and that’s okay!

Practically, this does not mean that volunteers will be more restricted in what 
activities they develop or engage in. Volunteers will remain free to engage in 
activities that interest them and they believe will most benefit Wikimedia and the 
world."

Well, it might be clear in your mind Yaroslav, but Fæ point is that is 
not clear at all in the answer of Nicole. So she might seize the 
question to make it perfectly clear or just let it in a fuzzy state 
which would give more credit to your point of view.


Thus said, while I do share concerns about this "endorse or hush"  
enforcement, I wouldn't qualify my point of view as being that of a 
dissenter.

Saying that nobody gets "banned" does not ensure an open process. I.e. that
those not in the "club" will have the same access privileges or will not be
simply ignored as "non-U".

This direction provides us with an answer to the question: What do we

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

commit to participating in the next phase of this discussion in good

In addition to signing the meta page, you are all welcome to use the

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

Sorry Nicole, what you have written is ambiguous. Will all affiliates and
individual volunteers be able to be full participants in later discussion
on the strategy, to exactly the same level as those that endorsed phase
one?

Saying that nobody gets "banned" does not ensure an open process. I.e. that
those not in the "club" will have the same access privileges or will not be
simply ignored as "non-U".

Hi all,

By endorsing, people and organizations state that they agree that the
direction is the right way for us as a movement to move forward, and
that they commit to participate in phase 2 conversations in good
faith. And in phase 2, we will discuss how to fill this direction with
life. The next steps will will be designed as an inclusive process,
but we won't "oblige" anyone to contribute to phase 2, nor will we
"ban" people from it. A look into our FAQ can further clarify:

"How you use the outcomes of this discussion is up to you. Some
individuals or organizations may use it to inform programmatic or
organizational strategy. Others may see it as a way to connect with
the broader movement and invite others to contribute to Wikimedia.
Some may not use it at all – and that’s okay!

Practically, this does not mean that volunteers will be more
restricted in what activities they develop or engage in. Volunteers
will remain free to engage in activities that interest them and they
believe will most benefit Wikimedia and the world."

I'm not sure how I missed that strongarm-statement ("the endorsement is
also a necessary step in order to participate in phase 2 discussions"). I'm
confident that this is a typo of a kind. It does not match with how I know
the people in charge of this process.

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.
