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 https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/contact/.

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! Best regards,
