Thanks Andrew. What I most find missing here is a discussion of how we build bilateral + multilateral support for projects, moving away from the centralized "WMF / FDC / global council reviews + approves" approach. Which doesn't scale, changes slowly in response to a changing world, and imposes language, method, and focus bottlenecks.
That's not solely about sustainability or decision-making or *equity* but about emphasizing and preserving our decentralized + distributed strengths. Where do you see this in the given framework, does it also strike you as important? //S [image: xxx.lanl.png] On Sun, Nov 15, 2020 at 1:56 AM Andrew Lih <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > On recent WALRUS calls we have discussed Strategy 2030 recommendations. > The WMF strategy team have asked groups to rank the priorities ahead of the > upcoming November global conversations. > > For WALRUS, I've drafted 4 recommendations below, which are also listed on > the meta page.
