[To all Wikimedia projects, minus mailing lists with an active discussion already.]
On August 2020, the Wikimedia Foundation board of trustees may decide a rename to "Wikipedia Foundation" and various other things. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/Board_Update_on_Branding
Following a community meeting, a proposed open letter was written: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_open_letter_on_renaming
«We ask the Wikimedia Foundation to pause or stop its current movement renaming activities, due to persistent shortcomings in the current rebranding process. Future work should be restarted only in a way that ensures equitable decision-making.»

Thank you Peter, I think the letter from the Wikimedia Foundation board chairperson about the proposed name change is very pertinent. Thank you for sharing it with us. I feel it helps clarify a number of issues for all of us.
Regards,
Douglas
