---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yael Meron <y...@wikimedia.org.il> Date: 3 April 2014 16:37 Subject: [Wikimedia-l] A decision in Commons regarding URAA affected files To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org> After a discussion[1] in Commons regarding this subject, a decision was made, stating that URAA cannot be used as the sole reason for deletion. We consider this a good solution for this situation, considering there is currently no foreseeable change in US law, for example, to accept the "rule of the shorter term". Following our letter[1] and this decision, we would like to thank everyone who supported this, including the WMF BoT, the legal department (specifically Yana), WMES, WMAR, WMVE, the administrators in Commons and the participants in the discussion.
