Besides all discussions on the exact definition, could we please replace "WMF" with "the Wikimedia movement"? I don't think that supporting emerging communities, however we define them, should be the prerogative of the WMF, nor should it be implied. I trust this was not the intention, either :)

I would like to thank the Community Resources team for dropping the

Indeed - this is a really useful step forward, and much more practical for the way our movement works.
Plus we can now stop arguing about whether or not to use the term "global south" which will increase everyone's productivity.
