Dear Anne
As a community member *I* am interested in knowing if WMF (or Jimmy) is selling to Google - or to anybody else ... like the Chinese.[1]

Nobody here is talking about vendor agreements; at least I am not. I have no problem whatsoever with your scenario. If the WMF enters into an umbrella agreement or business deal with Google or whoever, then that is something the community should know. If the WMF gets computer hardware at a preferential rate, absolutely no one is interested in that.
Because, Andreas, I do not want the Wikimedia Foundation to commit suicide.
I cannot for the life of me imagine what Google sells that the WMF would be interested in buying, so I'm finding your example a bit weird. > RIsker/Anne
