Seems reasonable to me.
We should probably get our group back in compliance, though, while we're
at it - I think all we need to do is actually submit our report
(https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_Colorado_User_Group/Annual_Report_2019).
Should I just go ahead and do that?

I just signed the open letter described in the attachment.
Or just visit:

and some of the many pages it links to.
I propose that we sign this as the Wikimedians in Colorado User Group.
What do you all think?

Subject: [All-affiliates] Community open letter on renaming on Meta
Dear all,
There is currently a community open letter on renaming [[m:COLOR]]
that requests a pause to renaming activities being pursued by the
Wikimedia Foundation 2030 Brand Project. The open letter focuses
on concerns about the problems with the process so far, and not
about specific naming choices.
Individual editors and affiliates (via their designated
representative) can sign with their logged-in account to show
support.

Coming up: There is currently a branding survey that runs until
July 7. There is concern that the consultation process and options
on the survey do not adequately reflect community sentiment, given
the effect name changes for the foundation and movement would
have. This was a major motivation for the open letter.
Additionally, it has been announced that there will be a WMF board
meeting scheduled in July to discuss the branding issue, so it is
important to express your views now.
Thanks to all the affiliates who took part in our recent
2020-06-20 to 21 affiliates meetings to discuss the brand project
issues, where we had more than 70 attendees. Folks from those
calls helped generate the letter through the help of more than a
dozen editors.
With more than 40 major chapters and affiliates and 500+
individuals signing the statement, we are seeing great interest in
this issue.
Regards,
-Andrew (User:Fuzheado)
