After a discussion[1] in Commons regarding this subject, a decision was
made, stating that URAA cannot be used as the sole reason for deletion.
We consider this a good solution for this situation, considering there is
currently no foreseeable change in US law, for example, to accept the "rule
of the shorter term".
Following our letter[1] and this decision, we would like to thank everyone
who supported this, including the WMF BoT, the legal department
(specifically Yana), WMES, WMAR, WMVE, the administrators in Commons and
the participants in the discussion.
Regards,
Yael Meron
