More complicated.
The process has been managed as a "pure" marketing and communication process while it concerns more community management.
I don't see here (honestly) any community management.
Knd regards

Since the process has decided its not hearing that the community doesnt want the change why continue to pretend the communities input or interest in the project is even wanted.

This is a reply Shamir, but it is more a reply to the process and Wikimedia Foundation.
Reading [1] my immediate thought is that whoever wrote it is more focused on reputing the core finding than respecting the outcome. It is a reaction to the statement “We do not know what the Wikimedia Foundation’s new name would be, only that it would utilize Wikipedia not Wikimedia.” and 91% says “no”. Still the process continues as nothing has happen. When 91% opposes a change in volunteer organization you stop and listen, this is an earthquake.
I opposed the name change, even if I don't really agree with the RFC, but what happen later I find perhaps more troublesome. This shows a real lack of understanding of why people objected to the idea. People have said no to this several times now, and the process continues like nothing has happen. Someone must clarify what this is, and who is behind it, and why, because as it is now the chance of onboarding the communities are virtually zero.
As it is now I would say call it a failure, and make a full halt.
