Hello Pine,
I know for a fact that some of the more knowledgeable and experienced members of our communities have applied to those WGs - at least about 10 candidatures have been sent. Not a single one was chosen, I believe because most of us are not on the "organized part of the movement", are not staffers nor habitués at the Wikimedia events. But every one of them is an active and historic member of our communities.
Having someone from the Portuguese speaking communities there would be a big improvement already. We do exist, we're 220 million native speakers - almost all of them in the "Global South" - and will certainly evolve and be part of the process, with or without the support of the Strategy Working Groups. But I think we deserve some effort in order to be included and involved in the Wikimedia Movement Strategy process.
All the best,
Paulo

Hi Paulo,
Let me ask a question. What suggestions do you have for Nicole and Kaarel about how to improve the strategy process? I hope that they will be receptive to your input.
