Oh, that's sounds a bit different for me:
The result of worldwide wiki-ish brainstorming will be sorta menu
given to each and every of said stakeholders and they will pick up the
... granules from it combining them into own strategy of that
stakeholder - like piking up 'meal' fitting their needs & preferences.
Did I get  the idea in a right (metaphor) way?

It sounds like one more confirmation that process and it result will
be open, so any 'body' (either institution or person, as well as
group) will have a right to spin off some ideas getting them
out/outside of WMF.
Right?

Thinking along that way: I presume that after WMF will 'make it mind'
about 5-year strategy (ant apply the mentioned rubber stamp) the only
way to get some ideas (incompatible or not fully compatible with WMF
plan)
implemented will be to take them outside the WMF.

Oh
> ... community and movement ...
I thought those are synonyms? No?
Perhaps
Movement=WMF+community
Any comments, please? :)
