> it is very much not obvious to me that this doesn't count as meaningful engagement. Unfortunately you can't call posting a document full of your opinions and conclusions meaningful engagement. That's just meaningful self indulgence. To be fair, perhaps he thought it was, and was trying to do the right thing, and did it wrong? I'm prepared to go as far as giving him the benefit of the doubt on that front. ...but it was wrong. For all the reasons that have been posted extensively on this topic; but, specifically: engaging meaningfully with a topic means discussion; and although we're having a discussion now, that's because this forum allows it, which is not something that that internal memo allowed. Basically, tldr: Posting documents != meaningful engagement. Meaningful engagement means actually talking to people, organizing people into groups and delivering your message to the right people. All of that project managery stuff that people don't want to do. I get it. ...but you gotta do it. That's life. You don't just get to sit in a cave and pontificate and call it engagement.
