Rand, I have raised this issue previously and I believe that large scale surveys stopped because they were expensive and updates are felt by WMF to be of low value. This issue might be revisited as strategic planning gets underway, so I'm a asking Philippe for an update. The strategic plan update is being is led by Lila and I have seen little in the way of outward-facing WMF actions so far. Hopefully Philippe knows the timeline for Strategic Plan development and we might even get a roadmap.

Hi everyone,
I was just curious, I did not see the survey results for the 2012 survey, and it seems there has not been any general editor surveys since then (with the exception of the more narrowly focused Global South User Survey), I was wondering if there was any reason for this lack of surveys and for the lack of 2012 survey results (perhaps some long policy discussion lost in the bowels of the mailing list)
