Hi,
Chapters and other local groups sometimes have informal or formal
relationships with national government agencies. WMF, as far as I know, is
currently involved in a lawsuit against the US Government but
simultaneously has informal friendly relations with the US National
Archives. WMF also has contacts with GLAM institutions, and the last time I
checked WMF was providing some financial support for a Wikimedian in
Residence who was working with a United Nations agency. I suggest that you
contact the WMF Communications Department or the WMF Legal Department if
you would like more information. See

Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on a sociology Ph.D. research (at the Université
Paris-Est) on the relations between digital commons and states. I have two
french case studies, and I'm looking for a third one at an international
scale. I wanted to know where I can found information about what kind of
relation Wikimedia foundation has with the different national states or
international entities (UN, EU etc.). Have you in mind examples of strong
partenrship (either political, financial, legal, governance etc.) between
international or national wikimedia foundation and one international or
state administration ?
Thank you in advance for your insights!
