Hi Andreas,

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
