The Board also received a confidential legal briefing which has become a standard practice for the Board. The meeting ended in an executive session.

Throughout the week, the Board also participated in several other high-level meetings, including a two day annual planning community workshop which resulted in key developments to the Foundation’s annual plan like the work around strengthening Wikipedia’s neutral point of view policies.

The week ended in a strategy retreat looking at multi-year priorities in three consistent areas for the Wikimedia movement to meet its mission “in perpetuity.” This year, the strategy retreat was attended by members of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, the Board of the Wikimedia Endowment, members of the Product & Technology Advisory Council, Foundation staff, and external experts. This is the fourth year the Foundation has convened the strategy retreat -- NTymkiv (WMF) (talk) 15:41, 5 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
