I don't think we can stipulate that the conference will not be
substantially changed (be it moved, cancelled, etc).

I don't think so. My post said that further
discussion should be
focused on
tools to assist individuals with their personal safety. If some are
planning
to go Egypt and have concerns, there are concrete steps to take that
do not
involve Foundation-l. We can accept that there is more danger in
holding the
conference in Egypt than in Seattle, and we can also stipulate that
despite
this the conference will not be moved based on this thread. Therefore,
constructive discussion will have to be in one of two categories: (1)
Suggesting and assisting with preparation prior to the conference
and (2)
suggestions on how to more fully incorporate security concerns into
future
decisions. Since Brisbane, Karlsruhe, Buenos Aires and Toronto are
relatively safe cities in relatively safe countries these
suggestions must
of course focus on 2010. Given that 2010 is three Wikimanias away,
it makes
sense that this discussion could be postponed.
So, based on the above... Not withdrawing any part of my post except
where I
suggested no one had expressed a personal fear. I would direct
Phillipe to
the beginning of the first thread, where nearly all good
recommendations for
ensuring ones personal safety were posted.

False; Philip Beaudette has said precisely this, and he's not the
only
one. Thus, the rest of your post should be withdrawn.
