[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia and the politics of encryption

[Michelle Paulson]

Hi Fred,

Emergencies should go to emergency at wikimedia.org.  Any other concerns
should be directed to legal at wikimedia.org.

Please note that emergency@ should only be used for actual emergencies
(i.e. immediate threats to life, limb, or property).

Thanks!

-Michelle
