Pine, It has not worked that way yet. They only speak as a chorus of executive staff and lawyers. This is fairly typical for any institutional relationship when they have no Wikipedian on staff. If you want to draft proposals to share with the mix then you can. Write in such a way that twenty different people who know nothing about Wikipedia will all interpret your proposal in the same way when they read it separately. 6 months would be an expected turn around for comments once we submit several proposals. Chats could happen sooner if we requested and you could join.
These kinds of meetings are burdensome for us because they take lots of time and move slowly. They do not have a single point if contact because they are scared. We do not have one because of dectralization, no paid staff, etc. On Jul 12, 2015 1:30 AM, "Pine W" <wiki.p...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sounds good.
