Hi Yaroslav, I find your concern important so let me attempt to refine it to
discussion points or a call for action. :) Firstly, I think it is unwise to
assume what "everyone is interested in". You don't know personally
all the people in the Movement, e.g. me and my interests. If you meant some
particular people or body, please voice it clearly and we can go from that
point. Secondly, there were signs showing people interested in your input:
1. while creating and filling a "diversity matrix" to check if we
cover all the stakeholders, the non-representatives of affiliates, WMF or other
bodies (FDC, sAPG, AffCom) this issue has been raised - certainly for the funds
allocation group. I am not sure of the final outcome in terms of e.g. inclusion
of particular names within the group (it is a pretty tricky to give some
representativeness without overblowing the groups) but I am sure the strategy
team has been working on this issue and can communicate something. :) 2. There
are many ways to reaching out to the wider audiences: including surveys, online
discussions, show and tell sessions (e.g. IIRC on Wikimania *all* strategic
sessions, except the organizational/briefing for the groups, were fully open
for all conference participants) and sessions dedicated to particular
communities. E.g. in my home Poland there were strategy sessions for willing
attendees of WMPL conferences, some languages also had dedicated online
discussion venues, and everyone could contribute in English. Thus, let's
give the credit where it is due. I am not discussing here if this interest was
sufficient. And I am pretty sure that if needed we can explore this direction
further (e.g. put more resources to discuss the strategy in particular
national/regional communities and send it upstream) and many people don't
participate even though they have very meaningful things to say. Perhaps what
you wanted to write is e.g. "Please provide X seats in the [ Group 4:
Additional participants – mostly members of the Movement Strategy working
groups – invited to complement the conference program] for non-affiliated
Wikimedians based on their editorship in Wikimedia projects and trust of their
local communities". Did I understand you properly? Best Regards,
Michał Buczyński Wikimedia Polska, FDC, Resource Allocation Working Group

napisał(a): This is very remarkable that nobody is actually interested in
input from what the WMF functionaries now call "unorganized
volunteers" - people who actually work in the projects. We are just not in
the picture. Good luck with that. Do not be surprised to see a huge number of
volunteers to oppose the strategy document again, as it happened last year.

question why we need another strategy conference: The Wikimedia 2030 process
is ongoing, and is building – among many other inputs – upon the outcomes of
the last two conferences. Organized groups are already working on the
implementation of the Strategic Direction in their own strategic/annual
planning and programmatic work, and Working Groups start developing
recommendations for change on the structural level of the movement. In
spring 2019, these groups will need feedback and input from the movement's
organized groups and the Wikimedia Summit – alongside other opportunities for
community consultations – will be build as a platform to synchronize the
Working Groups' work and to gather and synthesize this input and agree
upon next steps. I hope this helps to shed some light on the need for this
event. Please let me know if you have further questions. We'll also be
presenting the current state of the strategy process at today's activities
meeting; if you're interested in tuning in: meta.wikimedia.org
