I think this is a question for Patricio or Lila:
At the November 2015 Metrics & Activities meeting, Lila presented[1] a slide outlining the new Strategic Planning process.[2]
Amid general comments about how inclusive the process would be, that slide indicates that the draft briefly introduced at that meeting was to be finalized in December 2015, approved by the Board in January 2016, and presented publicly in May 2016.
Can you confirm if that is actually the process underway? Are you on schedule?
Can you address (in this venue) whether a plan that is developed in November and December by (at least some) staff, and presented publicly the following May, can truly be more inclusive than the 2010 plan -- which engaged 1,000 people, and took a year to complete, on an open wiki?
