No good deed goes unpunished.

I urge wikimedia DC to treat this with all due respect.

I leave it to you to calculate just how much respect is due in the case of this sort of malarkey.

Best,

On October 13 (over a month ago), I submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the National Archives, with a courtesy copy addressed to Kirill Lokshin, James Hare, and the Safe Space Committee affiliated with Wikiconference USA 2015.

I had hoped for Wikimedia DC's help in this matter, because I think it's very important in resolving the increasing tension that seems to exist between the First Amendment right of unabridged free speech, vs. the rising perception that there is a privilege not to ever have one's feelings hurt by unabridged speech. I spoke today with the NARA employee who is supervising the response to the FOIA request, and it sounds like they are assembling quite a substantial amount of information that will be delivered back to me, likely in the next two weeks, I am told.

In stark contrast, I have not heard any response from the leaders of Wikimedia DC, even though their code of ethics asserts that personnel should:

* Serve with courtesy and responsiveness * Demonstrate the highest standards of personal integrity,truthfulness, honesty, and fortitude * Conduct organizational and operational duties with open communication

It's possible that Lokshin and Hare have not received my request from October 13, but I doubt that's the case. Time is running out for the leadership of Wikimedia DC to proactively state their position on the concerns addressed in the NARA FOIA request.

Sincerely,

A concerned citizen
