Hi Nicolas,
I don't think our voices really matter in this case. Check the RfC, people
are still voting against 'Wikipedia' as a brand name, but the survey has
only one option which is three variants of Wikipedia. It doesn't even have
the option of status quo. This is very frustrating to say, but this is the
truth that we cannot change anything through this survey or participating
in the process, as the outcome is already decided. The process is just an
eye-wash to show that the community was consulted.
Personally I feel, this whole process is completely biased, pre-decided and
non-transparent. There is no point wasting time here.
Regards,
Bodhisattwa

Something that you may not know, is that the Wikisource Community User
Group has a voice in this process.
More exactly here is a copy-paste of a mail I received yesterday from
Samir Elsharbaty (Community Brand and Marketing coordinator at the
Wikimedia Foundation):
*Feedback period: For affiliates and individuals from 16 June to 30 June
2020. A collective feedback survey link will be shared with your email
addresses next week. This survey is a primary way for affiliates to submit
feedback as a group on the proposals. If you would like to change the email
address we send the survey to, please let us know. Affiliate Liaisons: The
most straightforward way for your affiliate to provide feedback during this
phase and the upcoming ones is by designating an affiliate liaison to be a
connection point between our team and your affiliate. If you are interested
in designating a liaison to receive updates and facilitate discussions,
please reply to this email.*
I proposed my name to be the liaison for the Wikisource Community UG, if
anyone else is interested, they can join or even replace me.
And if you have any comments or remarks about the propositions, please
share them (before end of June) so I can then share them in the survey.
Cheers,
Nicolas
