Hi Lila,
A few questions:
1. What is the URL for the 2016 consultation?
2. You wrote, "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." It seems that there will be some overlap
in the development of the 2016-2017 Annual Plan, and that the completion of
the strategic plan process will come too late to significantly influence
the AP until after the AP is already being executed. Can you share with us
which principles are being used to guide the development of the 2016-2017
Annual Plan which this document [1] is scheduled to be published for
community review on March 31, 2016?
3. Could you clarify, in the 2016-2017 AP plan timeline [1], what the
difference is between "core work" and "strategic work"?
4. What methodology is WMF using for developing the 3-year forward revenue
forecast, and is WMF incorporating into this forecast any new potential
varieties of revenue?
I will likely have further questions as we go through these processes.
Thanks!
Pine

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
