Joe, I'm all for discussion & being kept informed about the summit. (And if I wasn't I'd just delete the email & continue on with my life.)
My point was whether this mailing list was the most effective medium to use to inform & solicit comments. Except for announcements about the Portland Wikisocials, & the occasional email echoed from another list, it's been years since anyone posted to this list. I don't know if anyone else reads this besides you & me.
And to everyone else: if you're a member of Cascadia Wikipedians following this, please pipe up & disprove that assumption. More traffic on this list wouldn't hurt.

As for why I am writing to this list: I was designated to be Cascadia Wikimedians' representative to the Wikimedia Summit 2024. That means both representing any ideas that Cascadia Wikimedians as a group want brought into the discussions, and keeping the group posted on what I'm learning and observing. For what it's worth, I did not exactly lobby to be the person who took on this role: I supported (I'll stick to username here, not sure how public she is about her real name) Buidhe as the person to go, but she didn't want to do it. In any case, I felt I should report back to the broader group about what I observed in today's meeting, and especially about where I have concerns about the process and direction.
If you feel that either seeking input or reporting back is not part of the role of representing the group, then I'm afraid I simply disagree.
