Great if you can decide everything before July 7, when the brand survey ends.
You should also have received a separate affiliate brand survey email from the WMF people.
Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)

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 (

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

What do you all think?

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) LINKS: Community Open Letter on Renaming (COLOR) on meta:
