• (1) understanding how useful the current metrics are to grantees, Committee members, WMF staff and the broader movement.

• (2) understanding the major issues with the current metrics.

• (3) understanding how those issues could be addressed.

You can find more information here about the project and how you can provide public or private feedback here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_metrics/Review 

It's important to highlight that we are not running this as a Request for Comment (RfC) or consultation, where we have already identified a problem, set of solutions and are asking for community commentary. Instead, this retrospective focuses on gather systematic feedback across all who have used / been involved with Global Metrics. Based on that feedback, we will summarize the issues that we've heard - from grantees, Committee members, and even WMF staff - and then openly design solutions to address those problems. 

Again, you can find more information about the different phases of the project - collecting feedback, designing solutions, choosing what to implement - here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_metrics/Review 

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Sati Houston (shouston@wikimedia.org) or Jaime Anstee (janstee@wikimedia.org), as we are the main points of contact for this review of Global Metrics. 

Thank you in advance for your feedback. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions!

Best,

Sati
