There is something called [[WP:IDHT,]] i.e. I didn't hear that.
No matter how many times, how many people (90% in the RFC) speak, I just
didn't hear that.
Kind regards,
(Comment in personal capacity)
Thanks

Hi All,
We wanted to follow up with a brief update on the project timeline and
share an invitation to join an event this month.
We know there continues to be so much uncertainty in the world, so we are
slowing down the process of the project. Big changes are happening to all
of us these days. We want to make sure that we respect the time and
priorities of the project collaborators. This means updating the project
timeline approach to have more flexibility for participants and smaller
time commitments [1], revising the project schedule month by month and
keeping the Brand Network [2] and other participants informed on a more
regular basis with any updates and changes. The naming discussions planned
for April are now pushed to May, at the earliest. Design proposals are
likewise shifted +4 weeks.
But we do have things to share:
*This month: live brand concept presentation!*
To honor, celebrate, and conclude the work around the concepts referred to
in Essie’s email above [3], Snohetta and the Brand Project team will
present the Unified Concept LIVE on 16 April, 15:00 - 16:00 GMT. Snøhetta
will explain how they used the ideas, feedback and conceptual models from
the workshops and online exercises to arrive at a final, unified concept.
This unified concept will be the foundation for the upcoming work around
the naming conventions, visual decisions, and the overall design system.
The session will also be recorded and made available for viewing after. You
can join us using these links. [4] Note: this is not a presentation of a
proposal for a naming convention or design.
Thank you!
Samir and the brand project team
