Agree with Chris. Thank you dear FDC members and staff for the great work: your analysis, comments, and insight. I know how hard and complicated is Round 1, and how much time each one of you invested before and during the deliberations. Once again, thank you.
And Bishaka - congratulations on your new role! *Regards,Itzik Edri* Chairperson, Wikimedia Israel +972-54-5878078 | http://www.wikimedia.org.il Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment!
