I think it is safe to say that the FDC had a pretty clear consensus since the very beginning that WMF should lead by example.
Also, the FDC's addition to general community feedback is possibly the only practical way to deal with this issue - as the Board receives the plan too late to make major amendments.
Within the FDC, I've been advocating for an exactly such solution (as suggested also by Liam).
Of course, a real question will be whether the FDC will have the bandwidth to handle even parts of the WMF plan. But all in all, there definitely should be sufficient time for the community at large to comment AND to get feedback from the FDC.

This. in particular:
It would be good if the WMF would *try to set a good example* by
following
the rules that it sets for others, itself.
(as a clarification, I strong agree with Liam, especially in the point above).
I also left out a relevant sentence from the FDC recommedation: «The FDC recognizes that there have been some attempts by the WMF for gathering community feedback, but believes that the current approach has proven insufficient in generating a strategic vision. The FDC strongly believes that there is a dire need for new ways to generate strategies and a new strategic vision for the Wikimedia movement, and urges the Board to make a significant effort to make sure that there is a roadmap to transition to the next strategic milestones. »[1]
