Is there in fact sufficient evidence that this is a topic that the Foundation must, or should, engage in actively at this time?
I know why the Foundation has an inclination to get involved - people ask about it, and some very uncomfortable stuff finds its way into Commons and the Encyclopedias at times and in places, and it's inconvenient to have Fox News making a big deal about false claims of pedophiles or child porn on Wikipedia when we're trying to be taken seriously as a responsible charitable organization, and so forth.
But that does not mean that it's necessarily something the Foundation should involve itself in at this point.
Sorry, but I couldn't resist. Call me a troll or whatever, but this is the right question and it deserves the right answer to be repeated.
At May 7th [1] I've already answered that question: "What Jimmy's sexually impaired super rich friend wish, Jimmy do and then Board transform into the rule or a statement."
Fortunately, Robert Harris is much more sane. (Thanks, Sue!)
