[Foundation-l] Concern for the safety of Wikimanians in Alexandria

[Gerard Meijssen]

Dear Danny,
When you understand that all the members of the jury are part of the WMF
community, what is so hard to understand that the Wikimedia Foundation, as
an organisation, does not determine where a Wikimania is held? This is imho
what you fail to appreciate in Mike's comment.
Thanks,
     GerardM
