Every participant in an iterative multi-party process likes to be the
last. In a certain sense the larger community will be the last. They can
opt to abandon the movement. But for those volunteers who will be loyal to
the movement, it is the far-away Board has the last look and final say-so.
Given the difficulty of actually getting any significant level of response
from the larger community, especially of mere content contributors, it
would be nice - and wise IMO - to allow for the larger community to have a
long look at finished draft proposals.
The sad fact is that the only way the larger community would be likely to
take such proposals seriously would be if there were an imminent deadline.
Unfortunately, it is hard to take the imminent deadline seriously given the
absence of substance in some areas. Thus a chance has been missed to get
substantial involvement from the broader community.
I wonder why some of the working groups have so little to show. Is there
substantial disagreement among members?

Hello,
the "Recommendations" are a problem because we are so late in the strategy
process. They are supposed to give the community a chance for community
input. If the quality of the "Recommendations" is so poor, then the chance
for the community to give substantial input is very limited.
In this unready state, the "Recommendations" or parts of them should not
have been published. It is not appropriate to ask the community to invest
time in reading texts that are not ready.
The experience is very frustrating.
Kind regards
Ziko

I hope after Wikimania the WG members will be able to dedicate time for
this, otherwise the tight timeline is not possible. Ideally the most
popular drafts would be updated weekly, or more often, answering some
feedback in each iteration, not necessarily all of it.
