If that is so, then what we have here is a failure to communicate. Again By now we should be getting used to it. Cheers, Peter

Hi Yaroslav,
No, it does not work like this. Large communities are only going to accept decisions which were discussed with them properly, on their project and in the two-way interaction mode. The discussions on Meta in the mode "we will listen to you and then let you know of our decision" are not going to be accepted. We have had enough recent examples to illustrate this.
And that is why, even a year into this working group process, a number of the recommendations are *still* phrased as suggestions that the Wikimedia movement collectively should develop principles for such-and-such an area.
I think many people are reading these draft recommendations as something they are not.
Also, I find it very ironic that many people are reacting to these strategy process as if it was some method of the WMF inflicting its will on everyone else, when actually many of the recommendations would result in very significant changes to the WMF as an organisation.
