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?
