The annual plan 2012-13, published a couple of months after the
announcement mid 2012, provided more explicitation; saying on p. 42:
"..we intend to invest in more thoroughly understanding the non-en-WP
communities, and growing our social and political capital. To that end, we
will build a team of three community advocates inside the Legal and
Community Advocacy department, with the goal of better understanding the
non-English language communities, particularly German, Japanese, Spanish,
Russian, French and Italian."

And the underlying reasoning also resurfaced in the narrowing focus effort
in October 2012:
"Wikimedia's success depends on successful two-way communication across
projects and languages. ..[..]..We view this as a necessary core activity,
and investments on this front as remedial."

I don't remember reading anything like that in that page, and checking
again I find only something about "community advisory board"... confusion
increases.
