Hello friends
So, the Brand Team is moving on and has announced a short list of
proposals to rename Wikimedia Foundation, UG and such to remove the word
"Wikimedia"
Yesterday, the Team presented the results of their thinking during a
live youtube session.
It is one hour long, but the presentation itself is less than 30
minutes. Then followed by questions.
To know more about the three propositions, the page to go to :

The Brand team also launched yesterday a new survey to measure our
support to this new branding scheme.
We are invited to participate to this survey in two capacities
1. as individuals
2. as affiliate
And quite naturally, we can also react, discuss etc in the above
mentionned talk page, on mailing lists, telegram etc.
Taking the survey as individual is your own decision. Deadline June 30th
However, answering as an affiliate is a slighly more complicated thing
to do.
So I reported that in a wiki page, where we can collect feedback from
you and try to answer in the name of the group, if relevant.
Roughly... if there is a general agreement... it will be easy to respond
in the name of the offline UG
If there is no clear agreement... we'll have to reflect on what to do
But the first step in any cases is to actually record your thoughts on
the matter.
Steps for you...
1) if you are not aware of the topic, and arguments behind the
proposition ---->
