Dear Wikimedians,
We are excited to have you participate in an important Community Engagement regarding our strategic approaches. This is a major step to help us prioritize the work of the Foundation beginning in July 2016 and running for the next 12 to 24 months thereafter into a strategic plan.
Throughout 2015 the Foundation has been exploring how to prioritize its work to best support the movement's goals, set forth, but not yet reached, in the 2010-15 strategic plan.
The strategic approaches presented here are based on our vision, strategy consultations in 2010 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/2010-2015 and 2015 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Strategy/Community_consultation, research on external impacts, and input from staff and a few small community think groups on key challenges and potential solutions.
Timeline: These are our target dates for this process.
-
January 11: Put up pages for translation (done) -
January 18: Launch of community consultation on key questions -
February 15: Close of consultation -
By February 26: Release synthesis of consultation -
By March 4: Publish first draft strategy for comment
We appreciate your time and efforts to help guide the Foundation in its work to support the movement.
Warm regards,
Lila
