[Advocacy Advisors] Use of this list as evidence of consultation

[Fæ]

Hi Maggie,

The link to the Foundation policy is helpful. The most relevant
section appears to be "Collaborative Advocacy". If that is right then
what happens is "Advocacy Advisory Group (consultation), RfC
(consultation if time permits), and General notice".

Though a link to an email thread of this group has now been given as a
remark on the blog post, a general notice and RFC has been skipped,
despite this document being available and under discussion for more
than six months (so "time permits" applies). I believe the WMF was not
successful in complying with its own policy in this case.

Is my reading correct?
