As not particularly interested in the topic, I read the first paragraph or two of the emails related to FDC, hoping that it's enough to be generally informed. This time I read the whole email. The first paragraph uses present tense, which means that things are definitely defined. Just fourth paragraph says that it's about *proposed* process schedule (which could be changed if there are [really] good reasons). So, if it's about something which has been proposed, which is not in power already, notice at the top of the email like "*** The information inside of this email is proposal. Conclusion of the process is schedule for <date>. ***", as well as noting that inside of the subject could be very useful for those (including myself) who are not particularly interested in the matter. In other words, if I am an active member of an affiliate organization and see this email before the first coffee, I'd alert my colleagues and likely cause a small level of panic. Note that the first date of the schedule has been put in less than two months, which is quite tight for some chapters (those which operate in large area and require board members to gather in person). So, while not a big deal per se, not marking such emails properly could cause unnecessary tension. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
