We have three yesses so far. I suggest we wait another day or two then submit a group
response if we have consensus.

Seems reasonable to me.
We should probably get our group back in compliance, though, while we're at it - I
think all we need to do is actually submit our
report

Should I just go ahead and do that?

I just signed the open letter described in the attachment.
Or just visit:

and some of the many pages it links to.
I propose that we sign this as the Wikimedians in Colorado User Group.
What do you all think?

Subject: [All-affiliates] Community open letter on renaming on Meta
Dear all,
There is currently a community open letter on renaming [[m:COLOR]] that requests
a pause to renaming activities being
pursued by the Wikimedia Foundation 2030 Brand Project. The open letter focuses
on concerns about the problems with the
process so far, and not about specific naming choices.
Individual editors and affiliates (via their designated representative) can sign
with their logged-in account to show
support.

Coming up: There is currently a branding survey that runs until July 7. There is
concern that the consultation process and
options on the survey do not adequately reflect community sentiment, given the
effect name changes for the foundation and
movement would have. This was a major motivation for the open letter.
Additionally, it has been announced that there will be a WMF board meeting
scheduled in July to discuss the branding issue,
so it is important to express your views now.
Thanks to all the affiliates who took part in our recent 2020-06-20 to 21
affiliates meetings to discuss the brand project
issues, where we had more than 70 attendees. Folks from those calls helped
generate the letter through the help of more
than a dozen editors.
With more than 40 major chapters and affiliates and 500+ individuals signing the
statement, we are seeing great interest in
this issue.
Regards,
-Andrew (User:Fuzheado)
