Dear fellows in strategy conversations,

@Yair Rand - Thank you for taking the initiative and working with the
community to facilitate conversations related to movement strategy! This is
truly appreciated.

I have received some questions regarding the global governance topics off
list, so I would like to follow-up here to provide some clarity:

   - Global governance, especially recommendation "Ensure Equity in
   Decision-making" [1] is one of the key topics for movement strategy with a
   wide community/affiliate interest and support.
   - It is great to see that there is energy to discuss the path forward
   with your groups and peers. At the same time this is a conversation where
   we have to align on the global level. I see that conversations on
   the community level can really help us to prepare for creating this
   alignment and have an informed discussion on the global level.
   - When working on the design of the transition conversations with the
   Design Group [2], a notion of focused / thematic events emerged. While we
   have moved forward with organizing region or language specific events,
   topic centered discussions on the global level will only happen following
   the bigger global events scheduled November 21&22 and December 5&6. The
   reason for this is that we need to ensure sufficient level of general
   awareness regarding the recommendations and initiatives as well as have a
   general understanding of priorities before it makes sense to dive into more
   specific discussions (e.g. Interim Global Council, Movement Charter, and
   Global Council).
   - We will work with the communities and organizations who are having
   these discussions now to make the documentation and results of the
   discussions available on the initiative discussion space on meta [3]. This
   information will then be an input for the conversations of a more global
   nature. Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts in that space!
   - *We plan to have facilitated global online discussions around the
   movement governance topics in january 2021*, especially about setting up
   the Interim Global Council [4], which is the first logical step for
   advancing.

I am available for any further clarifications or questions here or off-list
- do not hesitate to reach out!

Have a great continuation to your week and month of November!
Kaarel
