Broadcast Your Cause

This seems like something WMF may want to sign up for in order to
broadcast its own fundraising messages. For Wikinews video efforts, I
could not support it without legal blessings from Mike. (Again, this
may show the benefits of having a separate Wikinews-related
non-profit.)
In general, please contact Sue Gardner <sgardner at wikimedia dot org>
and Mike Godwin <mgodwin at wikimedia dot org> as a first step in such
matters; they will escalate to the Board if necessary. There is no
such thing as a quick Board decision.

Perhaps the best setup might be an umbrella channel for all the
Wikimedia Foundation. It could have Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and other
projects' videos on it as well as Wikinews (who might find it the most
useful). However, I see no need for a seperate nonprofit organization
for an individual project, as that could potentially create all sorts
of confusion. ~~~~
