A direct consequence would be that one should think again whether San

If we were choosing a location from the scratch - definitely. As it is
now,
I think that relocating would involve really huge intangible costs for
our
staff, and our staff is our unique asset. I would be cautious to rush
any
changes in this respect.

The relocation does not have to happen overnight. It can easily take
several years (which is likely longer than the average time a WMF
employee spends in the organization). But I think discussing this as a
strategical direction would be beneficial for the movement. The topic
was raised several times in the past, and I did not get the impression
that there was any willingness to discuss it from the Board / WMF. (I
might be wrong though, and pointing out to such discussions will be
appreciated).
Cheers
