WHO have a great video on COVID-19 ("Coronavius"):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1APwq1df6Mw
Now would be a good time for the WMF, local chapters, other affiliates, and individual, to publicly call on them to open licence such material, as I have done, here:
https://twitter.com/pigsonthewing/status/1238124060145483777
[much of their published material is under NC restrictions - https://www.who.int/publishing/copyright/en/ ]
Some of us sent an email when it was (only apparently) less serious but we got no reply, as far as I know. It was sent by the UG of Washington DC and I contacted WMCH doing that, because they might reach their central office quickly in Geneva if necessary. Changing some licenses was one of the things I hoped to discuss, but in general we knew it was already serious and we were trying to gain some time.
In the end, WHO changed their attitude only after the last week-end, probably because people started finally to be worried in the USA, but the pandemia should have been declared weeks ago or at least last week, IMHO, when also the data of another "not small" country, that is Spain, started to be quite out of control (if Italy was already not enough after China, Iran and South Korea).
They seem to have taken more slowly than necessary. Let's hope they finally reach out.

I have been asking WHO to release COVID19 content (specially videos) under open licenses since since Feb 2020.
I have spoke with Aleksandra Kuzmanovic who has been involved in their collaboration with Facebook and Twitter etc.
They say maybe. But despite a bunch of follow up emails have not seemed too keen. It is really a lost opportunity for both of us :-(

Well, we did our share. For both medical and social aspects, we were there.
I was hoping at least to get some guidelines for our affiliates' social media...

Hi all,
Jorge Vargas, WMF's Sr. Manager for Regional Partnerships here. Wanted to quickly chime in to mention that as several folks on this list know, WMF has been more proactive in the past year or so to build bridges with UN agencies to see how they can better support our movement and have a more coordinated/holistic approach, in addition, and in collaboration with all the amazing local and regional efforts already taking place and being led by affiliates worldwide.
One immediate result (and thanks to work supported by John Cummings and Wikimedia Argentina) we have been working closely with UN Human Rights [1] to support ongoing and future efforts to distribute and create content related to human rights (#WikiForHumanRights, with more info on this post [2] and meta [3]), and now their support to gender-related initiatives like the WIkiGapChallenge [4]). All of this to say that part of that agreement was starting to navigate how to get more UN-copyrighted content on a free license (starting with content from UN Human Rights, but broadening the scope to other agencies).
Part of this work has been understanding the complexity to navigate decision-making within the UN system for things like copyright ownership and licensing of content. From our understanding so far, even if a UN agency (like UN Human Rights or UNICEF) wants to free up content, a decision needs to happen from the UN Publications Office in NY (an exception to this are decentralized agencies, like UNESCO, who can make that call themselves). We have been lobbying with UN Publications Office to better understand where they stand, but as mentioned, when they do use a free license, they include an NC clause by default.
I want to take this opportunity to rally ongoing efforts, approaches, etc being done by folks reading this. Ping me here or off-thread if you'd like to share more of what you've done so far (I'll follow up with you James! Thanks for already taking the lead in contacting WHO before). Ideally, mapping what stakeholders are on the table right now and what past conversations have happened will help us make progress in getting traction as we and the movement at large continue the conversation.
Feel free to reach out anytime if you have any comments or questions.
Thanks! Jorge

Besides CC for content, I was guidelines to get some guideline for communication. That is something agencies can do. In general we are here posting or twitting or creating article or advocating for media files to be uploaded, or sharing public data on social media when they are under acceptable licenses... some communities think about informative sitenotices, I even saw Wikipedia logos with masks suggested for the situation.
I am collecting these situations while I discover them and I wonder, is it possible to discuss them with WHO and now if they are good or bad, just get a third-party feedback? We are often improvising in good faith.
Otherwise, we will simply ask at the national level, I guess. It's not that I cannot for example ask an Italian doctor for, let's say, a useful image right now, I just would like to avoid doing that because they have more important battles to fight.
A.M.

Hi everyone,
Following up on my earlier thread about this, we are excited to announce a new collaboration between the Wikimedia Foundation and the World Health Organization (WHO). The collaboration will initially focus on releasing WHO content such as public-health related infographics, videos, and other COVID-19 resources under a free license (CC BY SA 3.0) to be shared on Wikimedia Commons. We are hopeful that these resources will be useful for volunteers writing about COVID-19 across language wikis and further expand access to knowledge about the pandemic to people around the world.
You can read more about the collaboration announcement in the press release we published earlier today [1], and see the first batch of content uploads from WHO on Wikimedia Commons [2]. If you want to help share the collaboration news on social media, please retweet the Foundation’s account [3] or share your own post using this toolkit [4].
I want to give a major thank you and shout out to the volunteers (including Doc James, Dr. Netha Hussain, John Cummings, and many others) who have been moving these conversations with WHO forward for years, as well as to the many Wikimedians providing accurate and relevant coverage of COVID-19 on the projects that this collaboration hopes to support. We are so excited to finally reach this milestone with WHO.
In the coming months, Alex Stinson, from our Community Programs team, will be working with volunteers to continue sharing details of the WHO content available on Commons and collaborating with volunteers to understand how WHO resources might help address information needs and gaps about COVID-19 on the projects. We need your help identifying the most useful content. Please join us on the project page on Commons to request WHO materials, and ask questions or give feedback on the project [5].
We are excited to celebrate this important achievement in making more knowledge about COVID-19 freely available to everyone in such a critical time in the world. Thank you to all who made this possible!
Feel free to reach out on this thread or to Alex and I directly in case you have further questions about this collaboration.
Jorge Vargas Sr. Manager, Regional Partnerships

In the end, WHO changed their attitude only after the last week-end, probably because people started finally to be worried in the USA, but
the
pandemia should have been declared weeks ago or at least last week,
IMHO,
when also the data of another "not small" country, that is Spain,
started
to be quite out of control (if Italy was already not enough after
China,
Iran and South Korea).
They seem to have taken more slowly than necessary. Let's hope they finally reach out.

Thanks for sharing this, Jorge. This is a news that is positive but not the scary kind! WHO resources have been already used widely across communities and have helped create localized resources. This initiative will strengthen many Wikipedias and Wikimedia projects across the movement.

Hi everyone,
Following up on my earlier thread about this, we are excited to announce a new collaboration between the Wikimedia Foundation and the World Health Organization (WHO). The collaboration will initially focus on releasing WHO content such as public-health related infographics, videos, and other COVID-19 resources under a free license (CC BY SA 3.0) to be shared on Wikimedia Commons. We are hopeful that these resources will be useful for volunteers writing about COVID-19 across language wikis and further expand access to knowledge about the pandemic to people around the world.
You can read more about the collaboration announcement in the press release we published earlier today [1], and see the first batch of content uploads from WHO on Wikimedia Commons [2]. If you want to help share the collaboration news on social media, please retweet the Foundation’s account [3] or share your own post using this toolkit [4].
I want to give a major thank you and shout out to the volunteers (including Doc James, Dr. Netha Hussain, John Cummings, and many others) who have been moving these conversations with WHO forward for years, as well as to the many Wikimedians providing accurate and relevant coverage of COVID-19 on the projects that this collaboration hopes to support. We are so excited to finally reach this milestone with WHO.
In the coming months, Alex Stinson, from our Community Programs team, will be working with volunteers to continue sharing details of the WHO content available on Commons and collaborating with volunteers to understand how WHO resources might help address information needs and gaps about COVID-19 on the projects. We need your help identifying the most useful content. Please join us on the project page on Commons to request WHO materials, and ask questions or give feedback on the project [5].
We are excited to celebrate this important achievement in making more knowledge about COVID-19 freely available to everyone in such a critical time in the world. Thank you to all who made this possible!
Feel free to reach out on this thread or to Alex and I directly in case you have further questions about this collaboration.

An amazing partnership. Great to see the work of so many volunteers over so many years resulting in a huge step forwards :-) And thank you to the WHO for joining the free and open access medical community.

Is it possible to convince more international non-profits and government organisations (especially taxpayer-funded research organisations) that it would be in their interest as well to share the findings under some Creative Commons licenses? FN

This is amazing. This gives motivation to so many who have been working tirelessly to provide Covid information on Wikipedia projects. Thank you and Congratulations to all who made it possible.

Hi everyone,
Following up on my earlier thread about this, we are excited to announce a new collaboration between the Wikimedia Foundation and the World Health Organization (WHO). The collaboration will initially focus on releasing WHO content such as public-health related infographics, videos, and other COVID-19 resources under a free license (CC BY SA 3.0) to be shared on Wikimedia Commons. We are hopeful that these resources will be useful for volunteers writing about COVID-19 across language wikis and further expand access to knowledge about the pandemic to people around the world.
You can read more about the collaboration announcement in the press release we published earlier today [1], and see the first batch of content uploads from WHO on Wikimedia Commons [2]. If you want to help share the collaboration news on social media, please retweet the Foundation’s account [3] or share your own post using this toolkit [4].
I want to give a major thank you and shout out to the volunteers (including Doc James, Dr. Netha Hussain, John Cummings, and many others) who have been moving these conversations with WHO forward for years, as well as to the many Wikimedians providing accurate and relevant coverage of COVID-19 on the projects that this collaboration hopes to support. We are so excited to finally reach this milestone with WHO.
In the coming months, Alex Stinson, from our Community Programs team, will be working with volunteers to continue sharing details of the WHO content available on Commons and collaborating with volunteers to understand how WHO resources might help address information needs and gaps about COVID-19 on the projects. We need your help identifying the most useful content. Please join us on the project page on Commons to request WHO materials, and ask questions or give feedback on the project [5].
We are excited to celebrate this important achievement in making more knowledge about COVID-19 freely available to everyone in such a critical time in the world. Thank you to all who made this possible!
Feel free to reach out on this thread or to Alex and I directly in case you have further questions about this collaboration.

In the end, WHO changed their attitude only after the last week-end, probably because people started finally to be worried in the USA,

when also the data of another "not small" country, that is Spain,

Iran and South Korea).
They seem to have taken more slowly than necessary. Let's hope they finally reach out.

Great work to you all and great news from the WHO. I live and work in Geneva not far from the WHO HQ, and am quite willing to help out in any way I can. Best regards Gabe

Is it possible to convince more international non-profits and government organisations (especially taxpayer-funded research organisations) that it would be in their interest as well to share the findings under some Creative Commons licenses? FN

Hi everyone,
Following up on my earlier thread about this, we are excited to announce a new collaboration between the Wikimedia Foundation and the World Health Organization (WHO). The collaboration will initially focus on releasing WHO content such as public-health related infographics, videos, and other COVID-19 resources under a free license (CC BY SA 3.0) to be shared on Wikimedia Commons. We are hopeful that these resources will be useful for volunteers writing about COVID-19 across language wikis and further expand access to knowledge about the pandemic to people around the world.
You can read more about the collaboration announcement in the press release we published earlier today [1], and see the first batch of content uploads from WHO on Wikimedia Commons [2]. If you want to help share the collaboration news on social media, please retweet the Foundation’s account [3] or share your own post using this toolkit [4].
I want to give a major thank you and shout out to the volunteers (including Doc James, Dr. Netha Hussain, John Cummings, and many others) who have been moving these conversations with WHO forward for years, as well as to the many Wikimedians providing accurate and relevant coverage of COVID-19 on the projects that this collaboration hopes to support. We are so excited to finally reach this milestone with WHO.
In the coming months, Alex Stinson, from our Community Programs team, will be working with volunteers to continue sharing details of the WHO content available on Commons and collaborating with volunteers to understand how WHO resources might help address information needs and gaps about COVID-19 on the projects. We need your help identifying the most useful content. Please join us on the project page on Commons to request WHO materials, and ask questions or give feedback on the project [5].
We are excited to celebrate this important achievement in making more knowledge about COVID-19 freely available to everyone in such a critical time in the world. Thank you to all who made this possible!
Feel free to reach out on this thread or to Alex and I directly in case you have further questions about this collaboration.
Jorge Vargas Sr. Manager, Regional Partnerships

This is great news, albeit long overdue on the WHO's part.

On a more practical level, I have marked all those images, and the WHO's other recent uploads, in:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Graphics_produced_by_World_Healt...
with {{do not crop}}, and added categories where I can. May I ask other people to assist in the latter process, especially for files using non-English texts?
I'm also marking the file pages as patrolled, whenever I edit them - again, this needs more hands.
