Leila,
I am sorry to hear that your management have not seen fit to allow you the time to read this report since it is on a topic that is key to work that you do.
This is not a concern on my end. Time, whether it's paid or not, is very limited and being informed when spending it is a good practice. :)
But I think the underlying suggestion that Andreas or non-staff readers should identify ways in which this report has changed WMF practices is disingenuous.
It wasn't a suggestion but a question, also the question was to Andreas or anyone else reading this list/email which includes staff members.
I also consider a label such as " disingenuous" disrespectful and am not interested in continuing this line of conversation.
Best, Leila
"Rogol"

I found some of the audit's recommendations troubling, and have
summarised
my concerns on the related talk page on Meta.[3]
I would love to find some time to go over the audit (67 pages) and your comments/thoughts and share mine. However, given that this will require substantial amount of time, I'm wondering if you or anyone else has a
good
sense of areas that Wikimedia Foundation has decided to change its best practices based on the audit notes. I'm assuming that receiving recommendations for change doesn't mean that all recommendations are
going
to go into effect, the teams usually spend a lot of care in implementing changes considering the mission and their field knowledge of our
Movement.
:) If we know which parts of the report Communications team has decided
to
act on, then we won't spend our time on things that we already agree on.
:)
I'm also wondering: Given that a Chief Communications Officer is to be hired whether it's more productive to delay spending more time on this
kind
of document until after this person is in office and we know more what their vision/direction is.
(and as you may know by now: I have not followed discussions on this
topic
before, my apologies if this is already addressed as part of the previous conversations.)
Best, Leila
p.s. and you know this but for others: I'm in Research at Wikimedia Foundation. I'm interested in this topic as communications is key for surfacing the work I do as part of my responsibilities. I'm not talking
on
behalf of Wikimedia Foundation or Communications team. :)
Cheers, Andreas
