The foundation sleeps. Wikipedia does not. For maximum speed contact will tend to need to be made by the first person in the right geographical area who is prepared to do so.
I really don't like this idea. Surely we can elevate certain people to responsible positions. What is some school supposed to do when someone claiming to be acting on behalf of "Wikipedia" rings up? What credentials do they have? Who can vouch for them? We are *not* all spokespeople for Wikipedia.
(Like that issue with talking to the press - the responsible people diclaim their ability to speak. Leaving the irresponsible...)

All the reporter does is show the diffs to the body affected. The capacity in which the reporter does that is quite irrelevant. They are not a spokesman for anyone - just a member of the public drawing something to someone's attention.
