Thank you for the response. It is good to know that WMF is assisting our colleagues, and of course I understand the need for discretion regarding specifics, but I had hoped you could tell us /something/ about what is being done in that regard. An additional thought occurs to me: Do we know of any Wikimedians who have become refugees, and are we assisting them in their new host countries? Regarding sanctions, do WMF have salaried staff or freelancers in Russia, and what is their position now? Does WMF fund a chapter or any other grantees in Russia, and ditto? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/YZMUIPWA4BH6AFZJFRRBKMO24NGKVO7C/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org
