(...) be fair the voices on the Meta page were a relatively narrow slice of the overall Wikimedia community.
The so called "WMF gap" is a recurrent issue, and was the theme of a "working group proposal" (?) in a practical workshop at the recent Iberocoop meeting in Santiago, where some ideas to reduce it were put forward. It is very evident that there is an huge gap between the WMF and the communities in the projects - and often with the affiliates as well. I sincerely hope that the Strategy Work Groups would came up with some proposals to help reduce that, as IMO it is one of the greatest causes of conflict and mistrust with the WMF.
But in this particular case I doubt that more diversity of voices would have made any difference, since despite all the suggestions and apparent negotiation that took place there, not even a comma seems to have been changed in BoT's initial proposal, they approved it exactly as it was.
Best, Paulo
