Dear friends:

                    We are writting this email in behalf of

Wikimedia Argentina, to tell you about our concern because of the lack of news about the jury decision and even about when this decision may be taken.

                    This is not just a personal concern and is not

only caused by an understandable anxiety: we are being requested from potential sponsors and media and we are delaying this meetings because we don't know what to tell them. The worst thing is that we can't tell them at least when are we going to know the decision. The Director of our proposed venue is pushing us to define if we are going to use it or not, because they need to set the 2009 agenda. And so on. We think the Toronto team may have the same problems.

                    The last deadline finished twelve days ago,

and since then we had no news. We don't want to disturb nor to hurry up the jury discussion, but it would be of great help if the jury could establish a final date. If this is done, at least part of the uncertainty will disappear.

                    Thanks,

                                   Patricio Lorente Presidente
                                   Enrique Chaparro (Vicepresidente)

As soon as there is news you will hear it (trust me I've been bugging people for ages now... and anyhow the decision is always late for whatever reason.)
