I may write this biased message from my place of enunciation: a country
that has been threatened for several days directly by the decisions of the
President of the United States.
Only if you were a follower of Trump would you see unnecessary a proactive
defense of potential damage to people both from our community and the
Foundation staff. Personally, reading a statement from Katherine Maher let
me know that in front of threats, people in your movement will react. Let's
not be deluded, Trump's decision-making route over the past few weeks
(outside privacy, airport reviews) will sooner or later lead to a threat to
the Wikimedia Foundation. And we must be prepared.
And please, let's leave the false dilemma that as a Wikimedia movement we
should not take political positions because of Wikipedia neutrality. They
are different things clearly.

There were speakers and delegates at Wikimania 2012, in Washington DC,
who would not have been able to attend under the current ban.
I therefore have no problem with the WMF speaking out against such a
ban; indeed I applaud them for doing so.
