Dear all,
I am sharing with you what I just also added to the endorsement Meta page:
During our Board meeting on Saturday, we agreed that both the Board and the
Executive Director of Wikimedia Deutschland wholeheartedly and unanimously
support the new Strategic Direction. In light of its fundamental nature, we
will submit the new Strategic Direction to our general assembly for
deliberation and final approval on November 18, 2017.
We all look forward to shaping the future of our movement together in the
coming weeks, months and years.
Best regards,
Tim Moritz Hector

Dear Wikimedians,
Today marks the final milestone of phase 1 of our movement strategy
process. Over the past eight months, many of you, of your peers,
colleagues, partners and friends have contributed to an endeavor that
resulted in the new Strategic Direction of the Wikimedia movement.
This direction provides us with an answer to the question: What do we
want to build and achieve as a movement over the next 10–15 years: By
2030, Wikimedia will become the essential infrastructure of the
ecosystem of free knowledge, and anyone who shares our vision will be
able to join us.[1]
On behalf of the strategy team, it’s with great pleasure that I invite
you today to declare your intent to work together towards this future.
Organized groups as well as individual contributors of our movement
are invited to endorse the Strategic Direction by adding their
signature to the endorsement page on Meta-Wiki. You will find all
necessary instructions there.[2]
By endorsing the Strategic Direction, you are not necessarily agreeing
with every single outcome of the first phase. Endorsing means that you
commit to participating in the next phase of this discussion in good
faith and to help define, by Wikimania 2018, how to come to an
agreement on roles, responsibilities, and organizational strategies
that enable us to implement that future.
In addition to signing the meta page, you are all welcome to use the
#wikimedia2030 hashtag on social media to celebrate and share your
excitement with the world and encourage other Wikimedians to show
their support, too.
Ideally, please leave questions or remarks on the talk page, to make
it easier to follow-up in a structured way.
Thank you!
Nicole
