Well, with such a pointed comment, I assumed you were trying to make a point about the value of community consultations, so that's what I responded to. As Maria noted, this was prompted by a community request on the board noticeboard, which of course anyone is welcome to participate in. And as I noted, we saw a need to clarify what we intended in the earlier resolution -- not something that can really be determined by community consensus. So no, we didn't have a broad community consultation on this particular amendment, though I also don't think it was out of the blue; there have been many related discussions on Commons and Wikipedia over the years. I was recently reminded by someone that we *did* have a general community consultation on the BLP issue as part of the strategy project -- there's still good info (and some broad recommendations to the board) here, which are worth reviewing if the topic is of interest: https://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Task_force/Living_People best, Phoebe _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
