Wikimedia Foundation Chief Executive Officer/Maryana’s Listening Tour/Stats
Listening Tour Statistics[edit]
Purpose: To listen and seek to understand, as well as to ensure more informed decison-making. To learn from a range of voices across the movement, including those interested to share.
Channels: Many. See Listening Tour Meta page.
Participants: Analytics compiled to track participants but no specific targets were set. The participant profile grew organically depending on who reached out.
Timeline: Conclude first phase in January, finalise letter reporting out themes by end of January. Continue in 2022 with more listening, even if this phase of the tour ends.
