If there was a plan I sure hope they will post it in a _very_short_time_ as the present state of the matter is not what I would say is even close to the standard the board should follow. Even the statement "Upon the announcement of that relicensing, the Foundation will initiate a process of community discussion" creates serious concerns that a relicensing will be done without a prior real discussion. Given the previous discussion on this list I'm not assured at all that this isn't the situation.
You're completely misinterpreting that quote. The FSF are going to write a new version of the GFDL which will be compatible with CC-by-SA, for some, as yet unknown (to me, at least), definition of "compatible". That will happen before the Wikimedia Community is consulted, since we have nothing to do with it. After that, the WMF will consult the community and decide if they will transfer Wikipedia, etc., onto the new license.
