Natalia and I are informing you that we are planning to have a public feedback period on the Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle in May/June (we are trying to squeeze it in between the draft Movement Charter feedback and its ratification).

Here is a draft document itself, in case you are interested -- the idea is to try to have a conversation about policy and approach to opening and closing projects and reasons to (not) do so:
