Hello Nicole,
Thank you. I just wonder - if the rest is presented this way, people might think that it belongs to the direction, and what the relationship between both is. And I'm afraid, that later the Foundation will claim that the rest is important or an important (authoritative) interpretation that will influence the following discussions. There will be confusion what exactly is endorsed an can be used (abused) in those following discussions.
For example, I am very concerned that the "oral traditions" are still in the game, especially as Guillaume emphasized that he still wants to go this way.
Kind regards Ziko

Hi Ziko,
Quick response regarding the endorsement: We will ask people to only endorse the strategic direction in the green box and the short section underneath with the next steps.
Hope that helps.
Best regards, Nicole

I am optimistic that this strategic direction provides every individual
and
entity within the Wikimedia movement something to be excited about.
Hello, it is not about what I might be excited about - I wonder in which ways the document will be used in a way I find problematic for the community.
I am still curious about the links in the "See also" section:
- Appendix
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_ movement/2017/Direction/Appendix: More information about the process, research, and findings that led to this outcome.
- A report of findings
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_ movement/2017/Findings is being written and many references on this page will be updated to point to its content.
Are those (and the footnotes) part of the "direction" document? Will
people
who endorse the document also endorse them?
Kind regards,
Ziko
Beginning on October 26, we will be asking for individual contributors
and
organized groups to endorse this new strategic direction for our
movement.
I encourage you to spend the intervening days discussing this direction
and
determining if you and/or your group will be endorsing it. You will
find
more information about the endorsement day and the process on the direction’s meta page next week.
The endorsement concludes phase 1 of the process, and we are currently drafting the next steps of the process. The main goal of phase 2 will
be
to
answer the question "How do we implement the strategic direction",
which
means identifying the resources needed for execution, and the
activities
it
involves. A first rough overview of this phase is being developed on
Meta.
Take a look! [2]
On a different note, we have completed the move into our new office
space
at One Montgomery Tower![3] Once again, thank you to everyone on staff
who
was involved in making the move so seamless, and to all of you for your patience over the past couple of weeks. Later this month, once we are
more
settled in, we will be sharing photos and information about our new
space
on the Wikimedia Blog.
Stay tuned!
መልካም ቀን። (Amharic translation: “Have a nice day”),
Katherine
