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 _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
