Hi Tito -
Your observation is fair and welcome. The project team will update the
timeline on Meta-Wiki to reflect the latest rescheduling and our relaunched
consultations.
The priority is on completing the collaborative design activities of the
project (naming, design, and style guides) in time for the birthday in
January. The process of adoption will follow the completion of this work,
so it too will be adjusted in the timeline.
The project team is working to keep this timeline as accurate as we can
amidst much global uncertainty, so I want to be the first to acknowledge
that timing will likely remain at the monthly estimate level and may
further change.
Thanks,
- Zack

With kind permission, I would like to further
explain my question (in
case
it was unclear, and kindly assume good faith):
The resolution (linked above and at [1]) states that "the Board affirms
its
support for the brand project and its strategic
importance for the
movement, mission, and 2030 strategy, and the Board directs the
Foundation
to complete this work by Wikipedia's 20th
birthday."
– what is "this work" that is to be completed by January 2021?
I believe it includes implementation (first phase) as well? On Meta-Wiki
the /Timeline page mentions[2] "January 2021" as "Organizational
implementation: adoption by the Foundation with opt-in system for
affiliates.
I see an almost clear action point here that by January 2021 the opt-in
naming comes into picture for the communities, where the brand value of
Wikipedia will be experimented with a few communities/projects with
direct
attention.
Wait, aren't we yet to start the review process?
Kindly note, other than the 3 or so models, I have noticed that there was
always another (robust) voice, and that's a "no".
Sincerely,
