Thanks, @HeidiHVL, our expert project manager. This all looks good and makes sense to me. I will get to work updating our various issues, appending dates, and organizing the materials accordingly.

All,

TL;DR: Thank you for your feedback on the draft of the Open Leadership Definition, which was integral to its development. The definition is now available in GitHub for final review until Thursday August 19 at 5pm EST.

Thank you
Thank you for adding feedback and thoughts to the Open Leadership Definition! Your time and attention has helped create the most thoughtful and thorough definition of what it means to be an open leader. Throughout our review, we identified several themes of comments, some of which generated lively discussions within the workgroup. You can review a record of the comments, along with actions and notes, in the Open Leadership Feedback report spreadsheet.

Next step: Final review before publication
The Open Leadership Definition is now available in GitHub for a final review. We are looking for feedback on grammar, typos, or other superficial bugs, because we plan to address any other significant feedback in the repository (using GitHub issues) after publication.

If you're interested in reviewing the planned release version, please do so by Thursday Aug 19 at 5pm EST. Our target publication date is Monday August 23, 2021.

Thank you again to all who participated in creating and reviewing this definition; it is truly a community-driven effort!
