Hi Ivan,
Thanks a lot for reaching out!
To be sure: this is an official statement. We are trying out new channels
to reach policymakers and participants in the policy conversation who are
interested in copyright, the public domain, and free knowledge.
We shared our thoughts in this format so that we can get the message out
quickly and reach a wide audience of interested people in the Wikimedia
movement and beyond.
