Hello folks,
I understand Maarten's feelings, considering what he has done for WLM so far.
On the other hand, in the Wikimedia world we have a strong ethos of leaving the operative business to the Wikimedia national organisations, because they might know best what is best in their country. I am not sure where to find the right balance here.
What is the exact negative impact on WLM Europe because of the different decisions in CH?
It seems that we will have in future to work with tighter agreements, a covenant to make sure that we all agree on the basic principles.
Kind regards Ziko

Hi everyone,
To my regret WMCH decided to ignore the things we agreed on in Berlin [1] and started with Wiki Loves Monuments early [2]. I consider this very disrespectful and I'm really pissed off about this. WMCH wasn't able to come to the Berlin meeting but received all results. We talked about this earlier [3], but WMCH failed to respond to the last emails and instead apparently just started.
I am really unhappy with this situation.
Maarten
