Hello all,
If you aren't aware yet, the Wikimedia Foundation had initiated a movement brand renaming project: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Wikimedia_brands/2030_movemen...
The process undertaken by the Foundation has garnered controversy and a significant pushback from the community. And following an all-affiliates community call that was held last June 21[1], it was decided that an open letter[2] be created requesting the Foundation to temporarily stop the branding project and restart it to be more inclusive.
If you are a member[3] of the Wikimaps User Group, which is an officially recognized affiliate of the Foundation, we have started a straw poll to determine if the user group, as an affiliate, should sign the open letter. Please check out the straw poll here and add your vote:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimaps_User_Group#Should_Wikimaps_sig...
Due to the short notice, the poll will be closed on Friday, July 26 at 12:00 UTC.
Regards, Eugene

Oops. The poll deadline should be June 26, not July 26.

Hi all,
As an affiliate we also have a feedback survey separate from the one open to all community members to which we can submit one response. As the deadline for the survey is after June 26th I will wait to collect your opinions as this poll is likely to be an indicator to how we would like to answer. Feel free to raise any concerns you might have with this approach.
I hope all of you are well, cheers Albin, User:Abbe98
