Dear Pine,
I beg to differ on two points: As the Wikimedia Foundation is an essential part of this event, I don't consider "Wikimedia Affiliates Summit" as more accurate. This event covers, as mentioned before, the "organized (or "structured") part of the Wikimedia movement". As 'Wikimedia Summit' has not been used before in the Wikimedia movement (only for the 'Developers Summit'), I think this name is fresh, unused, short and easy to understand.
While I have asked for feedback on the concept extensively via different channels and opportunities, I think, it's not a wise decision to ask for public comment for a renaming. I consider the name of a conference as one of less relevant parts of organizing a conference. I would encourage to give feedback on more relevant issues than the name of an event.
Best regards Cornelius

Hi Cornelius,
Thank you for the clarification. I suggest a change of wording, because "the organized part of the movement" is much broader than WMF, its committees, and the affiliates. I suggest that a suitable name for the conference would be the "Wikimedia Affiliates Summit", which would be more accurate than the "Wikimedia Summit".
In general, I think that it's best to ask for public comment before making significant changes such as renaming international conferences.
Thank you,

Dear Pine,
yes, "the organized part of the movement" is another term to describe the part of the Wikimedia movement that includes the WMF, its committees and the affiliates.
Best regards Cornelius

Hello Daniela and Cornelius,
Thank you for this update.
Can you clarify what you mean by "The next conference will focus on the Movement Strategy process and movement governance for the organized part of the movement in general"?
Are
you referring to governance for the WMF and affiliates? Online
Wikimedia
activities are organized in varying degrees, but many of those
activities
are not included in the scope of affiliates or represented by
affiliates.
