Hello All,

By now, you may have already heard about the WMF Annual Planning Process
conversations (APP)
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2022-2023/draft>
and the upcoming engagements with communities and our CEO, Maryana
Iskander. We are excited to hear from communities all over the world about
their insights and ideas.

The information you have been waiting for on this storytelling partnership
will be readily available on the 21st of April 2022 including details on
the exciting WiR call for applications.

This means more time to focus on the APP engagements, which value your
input and attention.

We are delighted to map out this incredible journey to this very important
partnership with the AU in a timely manner while being cognisant of other
activities that are competing for your time and space.

Looking forward to sharing more with you next Thursday.

Warm regards,
