Thanks, Anders and Anton, for your uplifting feedback.
We'll update the overview section right away.
We have documented the changes in this change log, I hope this is helpful: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Reports/...)
Best wishes, Nicole

Impressive work, thanks to all those involved.
Were there any major changes to the content of recommendations as compared to the previous iteration? That is, apart from clarifying & condensing the text.
Best Regards Anton Protsiuk

I find this final version much easier to get to grips with, both in language and structure/content. And to condense it into 10 recommendations instead of 13 complemented with 10 principles is a big improvement.
It is a great base on which to build our "new" movement, and I expect it will be many more years to discuss and implement this direction.
Thanks to all involved
Anders
But the section Overview seems to need an update (it ends in March)?

Hi everyone,
I hope this finds you all as well as could be. It's been a while since
I've
sent a note out about movement strategy; so much has changed in the
world
since we started these conversations in 2017, including this global pandemic. Indeed, much has continued to evolve in our movement too, including the growth of the projects themselves and the continued
expansion
of the global community.
Against this backdrop, and on behalf of the working group members [2],
the
team of writers who finalized the content [3, 4], and the core team
[5],
I
have the honor of notifying you of the publication of the 2020 movement strategy recommendations, now live on Meta-wiki [1].
*=== The 2030 strategic direction ===* As you recall, the 2030 strategic direction calls upon Wikimedia to
become
"the essential infrastructure of the ecosystem of free knowledge, and anyone who shares our vision will be able to join us. This final
version
of
the recommendations embodies an aspiration for how the Wikimedia
movement
should continue to change in order to advance that direction and meet
the
Wikimedia vision in a changing world.
They are also the culmination of a tremendous amount of work over many dozens of places, of many thousands of hours, by many hundreds of Wikimedians. They are the synthesis of your thoughts, critiques,
insight,
and hopes for our work. Thank you, all of you, who have contributed to
this
thinking about the future of our movement.
*=== What’s in the recommendations? ===* These recommendations clarify and refine the previous version, which
was
published in January this year. The team that finalized the content has done an impressive job of reviewing and integrating movement feedback, refining the recommendations, and making the language as clear as
possible.
The result is a 40-page document that outlines 10 recommendations for change in our movement, along with 10 underlying principles, a
narrative
of
change, and a glossary of key terms.
These recommendations are intended to` guide our movement over the next decade. They are at a high strategic level so that the ideas are
flexible
enough to be adapted to different global and local settings and will
allow
us to navigate future challenges.
*=== How to review the recommendations ===* The recommendations are online in Arabic, Chinese, English, French,
German,
Hindi, Portuguese, and Spanish. We also have a summary available in Catalan, Dutch, Farsi, Hebrew, Polish, and Russian, and we welcome volunteer translation support for these and other languages.
We encourage you to read the recommendations in your own time and at
your
own pace, either online [6] or in a PDF [7]. There are a couple of
other
formats for you to take a deeper dive if you wish, such as a one-page summary, slides, and office hours, all collected on Meta [8]. If you
would
like to comment, you are welcome to do so on the Meta talk pages.
However
please note that these are the final version of the recommendations. No further edits will be made.
*=== What’s next ===* The focus of the movement strategy process will shift toward implementation. Originally, we had intended to meet in Berlin for the Wikimedia Summit to discuss and plan how we want to move forward. Due
to
the current global health crisis, this is unfortunately not possible.
Instead of a physical event, the Wikimedia Foundation is intending to
host
a series of virtual events that will help us transition to the implementation phase. The goal will be to produce a plan to begin the implementation — to identify what initiatives must come first, and in
what
sequence, and with what resources and support.
This series will not only address Wikimedia affiliates and the
Wikimedia
Foundation, but have a wider scope to ensure various parts of the
movement
are engaged in different ways. Planning has started, but it will take a
few
more weeks. We are mindful that everyone has been impacted by the
pandemic
in different ways, and we are therefore taking things one step at a
time.
We expect to share more details this month, and begin this work
together
through the summer and into the fall.
*=== Thank you ===* I want to extend my deep gratitude to every single person who has
helped
create these recommendations. True to the Wikimedia way, it is through
the
contributions of many that we have reached this milestone.
Working group members dedicated more than a year to engaging with
movement
stakeholders and developing the draft recommendations. On-wiki
contributors
took part in community conversations to share their thoughts on the
content
and help improve it. Affiliates and community organizers held dedicated events to discuss strategy and provided valuable advice throughout the process. Wikimedia Foundation staff and Board of Trustees supported and guided the process from the beginning. The writing team and the
reviewers
[9] worked tirelessly to revise and finalize the recommendations.
Community
and affiliate strategy liaisons facilitated countless discussions.
Thank
you all.
This work is remarkable, and I look forward to continuing on this
journey
with all of you to create the future of our movement together.
Yours, Katherine
