General feelings

Most of the feedback by online communities was related to the language (specialist terms and lack of translation to local languages discouraged from diving into the document) and implementation phase (the uncertainty on how the proposed ideas would actually be executed made it more difficult to make a strong position).

Areas of support, opposition or concern

English Wikipedia, Wikidata and Commons contributors didn’t oppose or support any particular area.

One user asked a question if some collocations might be fad phrases.

Suggestions for improvement

A few users noted that the language is a barrier to their involvement.
