Ah, ok Kate – didn’t realize that T.M. was part of USGIF and can understand the sensitivity there. See you at the Communication working group meeting on Friday J

As a humanitarian focused organization I did not think it was appropriate to be interviewed by them. Each organization has to make their own decisions on the line of what is appropriate, but I felt based on previous statements by volunteers and voting members related to both the US Government, intelligence and the United States in general that we could not respond to this interview request. I'm more than happy to work with the communications working group to make these guidelines more clear.

In the future anyone who gets asked but doesn’t feel comfortable please have the reporter contact either [email protected] or [email protected] – we should be able to fulfill most requests (except maybe those with extremely short timeframes).

How did we missed being interviewed? I dont remember to have seen such request. Was this followed to me?

Great job everyone!
