This is indeed a great summary of what can be learned from the FoP-NC episode!
An additional factor that made a difference was that the issue played into the British story about silly Brussels bureaucracy (regardless of whether this had been anticipated or desired by the Wikimedia movement). The general take-away from this is that it helps to recognize how a proposal can play a part in someone else's broader narrative, which in turn makes a knowledge of the wider political landscape valuable.
Best regards,
Karl

Hello everyone,
Thought you might be interested to see the learning pattern I've created on policy campaigning. It's very much focused on the freedom of panorama but there is scope to extend it.
Please do take a look and if you'd like, please feel free to edit! https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grants:Learning_patterns/How_to_campaign_on_a_political_issue&action=history
