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

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy: Draft recommendations are here!
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.
Chris
