As I see it the strategy process is run for the functionaries in the movement and by them. People with focus on contributing to the projects are not involved, when volunteers is mentioned it is mostly people running worskhops for beginners etc, a kind of semi functionaries, not the hard core contributes.
This could be a good thing and foster a new set of moment leaders, fully in agreement with goals and strategy. It could also be seen as a weakness, as we do not recognize the more "wild" (but creative)y culture in our communities and only have the "nice" and obedient culture being accepted.
Facts
The visionĀ was really created in Wikiconf 2017 by functionaries
The way forward was defined by Wikiconf 2017 by functionaries
The set up of work groups was from the beginning set upĀ to include (only) functionaries (time requirement, and first it was also talked of candidates should be endorsed by local chapters). And the actual selection was not done transparent as is the culture of the communities but by "boss" selection (I only feel the movement is starting to resemble a big company, not the vibrant communities)

I do not know what really happened but if I listen to what has been said here and earlier on similar occasions, my conclusion is that for the Strategy Team we - volunteers who are working on the projects but are not associated with the chapters, do not show up at Wikimania, do not attend real-life tutorials organized by WMF - just do not exist.
If this is the case, this is a serious gap to be bridged. So far I have net see even an acknowledgement of its existence.
