Because you haven't created such a place yet. Meta-Wiki would be the appropriate wiki. You can use a generic forum such as <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Forum> or feel free to just pick a title (such as <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Annual_Plan>). There used to be strategy.wikimedia.org, but there's general agreement that we want to push these types of discussions into a central wiki, and Meta-Wiki is that wiki. I know a few people would like to see the talk namespaces of wikimediafoundation.org opened up to general discussion, but that's a bit tricky with raw HTML being allowed there. I have some thoughts on this, but haven't had much motivation to act on them. And this all isn't to say that I agree with your premise. This mailing list is a perfectly fine place to discuss the Annual Plan. If the community wants to be engaged in these types of discussions, they know to join and use this mailing list. It's not as though this is list is some new and foreign forum.
