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. Lodewijk On Fri, Oct 27, 2017 at 12:

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

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. th

Hoi, You get it backwards; Yaroslav indicates that he EXPECTS not to be heard. It does not follow that what people say will not be noticed and it does not follow that they may not be involved in the process of realising the strategy. The option to be heard has nothing to do with the position on th

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 a
