Three weeks ago, the foundation asked for community input on the surveillance program PRISM (and perhaps similar programs that have surfaced since).

To quote from that page: "We will consider all feedback, but, because events are moving quickly, we feel we need to make a decision on this by June 21, 2013."
Has there been any response yet? Surely evaluating all the feedback cannot take longer than two weeks...?
It did take time. The feedback was quite inconclusive, and many of the options for action had a variety of flaws, so trying to decide what to do next was difficult.
On Friday, we gave a quick summary on the talk page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:PRISM#Update
I'll probably post some more details on the talk page in the next day or two, but suffice to say that we continue to listen for options that are aligned with our values and likely to have an impact on the discussion.
