[Wikimedia-l] Education Program Re: Quarterly reviews of high priority WMF initiatives

[Everton Zanella Alvarenga]

Hi Frank,

I just saw now this report. Can you explain this line bellow, please? I
didn't get it.

"Strategic direction in Brazil didn't work; Tom reporting to Jessie,
disconnected from our work. Unclear lines of authority for decision-making;
classes ended up as not particularly successful. Also, narrowing focus
shifted Tom and Oona's efforts to finding a home for the Brazil program
rather than expanding classes."

I also would love to know who wrote this "We anticipated focusing the
majority of our efforts on Global South programs" and I would love to know
if Brazil is included in this focusing of efforts. If this includes Brazil,
that is false.

Thanks in advance,

Tom
