Nemo, It is in fact correct. I can confirm this, because I am the primary person who screens those questions that come in to legal-en. Sue or Steven can correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I'm 99% sure that they misspoke -- le...@wikimedia has been a broken and useless address for long

Jon, That must be a new change about le...@wikimedia.org, as the email didn't work as of a few weeks ago. I wasn't aware of that. However, from a policy perspective, we've always screened the email first at legal...@wikimedia.org before sending it on to the GC. So in fact, that would still

Correction. I've just seen Jon's email about having fixed le...@. However, it is still preferable to send legal email to legal...@wikimedia.org for a faster resolution and for ease on our end. Nobody has made the OTRS team (especially the legal team) aware of any policy changes on that end, so

Pedro- Correct, it's just set up wrong on OTRS. Right now Legal@ is not even an OTRS email address. If it were, we could then structure it so the languages were subqueues. But that'd require legal@ becoming an OTRS email address. Huib - The staff (myself and Jon) are saying two different,

My bad. Casey is 100% correct. I was simply giving the technical answer, as the user asked for the legal department - not to say that this is the best answer. In the grand scheme of things, If Dan says Yes, Legal@ works but you should use legal-en@ instead - listen to Dan. He knows what he's

Legal-it was only the name of a queue that I closed a month ago, not an email address. I agree with Casey and with Jim, all the email must be sent to the info-language@wikimedia.org. OTRS operators can forward them (after adding an English translation) to legal if they don't have a ready response.
