As far as I can tell, the 15 year projection is supposed to be far enough
further than the discernible horizon that a wider variety of opinions will
be considered valid, and thus may allow more constructive engagement. Think
of brainstorming sessions, where people aren't allowed to criticize others,
only proposed improved or different ideas.
I agree we should finish implementing the ideas from previous strategies
before starting new ones, but I gather that they have been too mundane. I
thing these are very good:
Perhaps "finish implementing previous strategy ideas" can be something we
all can agree on?

Thank you for the kind words (and link), but I am just
totally lost at
this point, and Abhay went ahead and did it all on his own regardless.
Was there something wrong with the previous approach of just figuring out
what the movement role is as we go, letting it evolve as the world itself
does?

Isarra, why don't you do it? You are by far the most prominent Colorado
Wikimedian, and have been for years. I think you are supposed to ask other
Colorado WIkimedians these questions, in person if possible, or on this
list:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Participate
And then add a summary of whatever the answers are at one of the
designated places.
I'm headed from Fort Lupton to Beijing next week and will be there until
Wikimania in August, and might not be back in Colorado until December, but
you can get a pretty good idea of what I hope to achieve in the next 15
years (which is, coincidentally, what the strategy discussion topic is)
from meta:User:James_Salsman and the corresponding talk page, where I was
recently unblocked to make a free open source alternative to Rosetta Stone
and the like (did you know Rosetta Stone's speech team is in Boulder?) I
got blocked earlier in the decade for surveying the inactive enwiki admins
(after being blocked on enwiki in 2007 for suggesting to a Department of
Defense employee who purported to be a medical doctor that it would have
been wiser to recommend against breathing uranium fumes, which was taken as
a legal threat. So I began a ten year sockpuppetry breaching experiment in
accordance with WP:IAR, but I have ceased and denounced that behavior.)
Best regards,
Jim Salsman

Technically I think this might be you, from our
history thus far. Which
makes you a bit like most of the wikimedia dc board - most of them aren't
actually in DC anymore, either.
Or something. Do they ever define anywhere exactly what a discussion
coordinator actually is/does?

Greetings,
I hope this email finds you well. As we are ending cycle 1 of the
movement strategy process conversation today, I am currently looking
into the list of organized groups on Meta and reaching out to groups
we haven’t heard back from.[1]
I have noticed that your User Group has not designated a discussion
coordinator yet, and wanted to see if there is any information that
you are missing right now, or any support you need. Of course, I would
also like to hear from you if you decide not to participate right now.
Every feedback will help us to improve and iterate on the ongoing
process.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Nicole
