This has little enough to do with Wiki(m/p)edia, however; while UNESCO's mission does have some overlap with that of the WMF, we are not connected to them in any substantive way. Certainly, the mere fact that a cultural institution of some sort has had its funding cut should not cause us to do anything spectacularly unusual, as that's a fairly routine event these days.
