I was very glad that the Foundation decided to extend the fundraiser.
I think adding projects outside of the lengthy, formulaic,

Hi Christophe,
I'm afraid that does not answer my question. If it changes absolutely

*something* that changes (and that doesn't have to be a bad thing), such as
improved clarity or legal certainty. But probably you're right - and
It seems that the Chairman of the Board "fail[s] to see what community

Hi All-
Just a quick update on this: We concluded the English-language banner
campaign on Monday (12/19) – at the three week point of the campaign. This

The winter holiday season is upon us, and the Foundation office will be
closed from 24 December to 2 January, returning 3 January. We will, of
