Hi Andrew,
There has already been an extensive consultation in the first half year of 2019. Zack presented the outcome to the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation August 14th in Stockholm. Het got a go for a next phase. The current dialogue is about implementation details, as far as I understand the status of the current process.
Regards,
Ad

Folks, it's not clear this email thread is going to register at all as feedback for this process.
The only recognized feedback mechanisms according to the original mail are the following:
- Wikimedia Space group -
https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/g/brand-network Currently 13 members
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Communications/Wikimedia_brands/2030_re... No new conversations
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Communications/Wikimedia_brands/2030_re... A dialogue that has been started to discuss the problems of the KPIs and metrics.
I'd highly suggest if you want to make your feedback count, you go to these venues.
-Andrew

It’ll be a very very important RFC. More than elections, it’s about all global identity. CentralNotice is appropriate.

I concur, it sounds sensible.
(I'll note, I'm not actually against the name change proposal - but it's got to be presented to the community properly.)

HI David,
Yes, it stands to reason to announce on all wikis in a similar way as
the
announcements about board or steward elections.
Best, Kiril

Right.
I guess a central notice about an RfC would be appropriate.
Cheers Yaroslav
