Hello,
We now have the confirmation on a Meta Wiki talk page: the WMF is not going
to let the communities vote on the recommendations.
Kind regards
Ziko

Katherine,
These are very disappointing. It does not seem like a bit of the feedback
on earlier versions was taken into consideration at all. Can we expect
anything we say to matter this time around, or will we once again be
talking to the wall?

In 2017, we set about building the future we want, together. In 2020,

The core of this material is online in Arabic, English, French, German,
Hindi, Portuguese, and Spanish. We also have an overview available in
Catalan, Dutch, Farsi, Hebrew, Polish, and Russian that offers a
condensed
introduction to the recommendations material.
== Share your feedback ==
In order to produce a final document that is representative of and
relevant
to the diverse project communities as well as
groups and organizations
that
make up our movement, we are calling on everyone
to review the
recommendations and share their thoughts.
Specifically, we ask you to look at what impact these recommendations

And every single contribution made by every
community member from the
beginning has helped us grow into the global, diverse, and unique
movement
