Yeah, I think I'm just going to stay out of this.
2016's results, mundane though they may be, were at least actionable,
even regardless of whether or not they were the right things to focus
on. This, though, from looking at the guides, doesn't even seem like
it's going to establish a consensus what movement and WMF priorities
should be in general now, let alone in the future... because at no point
does anyone actually ask that, even though that would be a very
important question to answer. It's all themes and vision and random
examples of what people want to see happen.
That's just me, though. I'll leave all this up to you lot. Thank you
Abhay for taking the initiative to sort it out, or stuff.

As far as I can tell, the 15 year projection is supposed to be far
enough further than the discernible horizon that a wider variety of
opinions will be considered valid, and thus may allow more
constructive engagement. Think of brainstorming sessions, where people
aren't allowed to criticize others, only proposed improved or
different ideas.
I agree we should finish implementing the ideas from previous
strategies before starting new ones, but I gather that they have been
too mundane. I thing these are very good:

Perhaps "finish implementing previous strategy ideas" can be something
we all can agree on?

Thank you for the kind words (and link), but I am just totally
lost at this point, and Abhay went ahead and did it all on his own
regardless.
Was there something wrong with the previous approach of just
figuring out what the movement role is as we go, letting it evolve
as the world itself does?

Isarra, why don't you do it? You are by far the most prominent
Colorado Wikimedian, and have been for years. I think you are
supposed to ask other Colorado WIkimedians these questions, in
person if possible, or on this list:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Participate
And then add a summary of whatever the answers are at one of the
designated places.
I'm headed from Fort Lupton to Beijing next week and will be
there until Wikimania in August, and might not be back in
Colorado until December, but you can get a pretty good idea of
what I hope to achieve in the next 15 years (which is,
coincidentally, what the strategy discussion topic is) from
meta:User:James_Salsman and the corresponding talk page, where I
was recently unblocked to make a free open source alternative to
Rosetta Stone and the like (did you know Rosetta Stone's speech
team is in Boulder?) I got blocked earlier in the decade for
surveying the inactive enwiki admins (after being blocked on
enwiki in 2007 for suggesting to a Department of Defense employee
who purported to be a medical doctor that it would have been
wiser to recommend against breathing uranium fumes, which was
taken as a legal threat. So I began a ten year sockpuppetry
breaching experiment in accordance with WP:IAR, but I have ceased
and denounced that behavior.)
Best regards,
Jim Salsman

Technically I think this might be you, from our history thus
far. Which makes you a bit like most of the wikimedia dc
board - most of them aren't actually in DC anymore, either.
Or something. Do they ever define anywhere exactly what a
discussion coordinator actually is/does?

*Subject:* *Your User Group's movement strategy conversations*
Greetings,
I hope this email finds you well. As we are ending cycle 1
of the
movement strategy process conversation today, I am
currently looking
into the list of organized groups on Meta and reaching out
to groups
we haven’t heard back from.[1]
I have noticed that your User Group has not designated a
discussion
coordinator yet, and wanted to see if there is any
information that
you are missing right now, or any support you need. Of
course, I would
also like to hear from you if you decide not to participate
right now.
Every feedback will help us to improve and iterate on the
ongoing
process.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Nicole
