Our annual plan and operating budget are developed through open processes, subject to community feedback and board approval, and always available for review by the public. The wikimedia foundation takes seriously its obligations to users and the volunteer community that contributes to wikipedia, especially their right to privacy This right came under threat a few months ago when we received a message from the police captain of a european country. Freedom of speech is essential to the wikimedia movement—the projects cannot flourish in an ecosystem where individuals cannot speak freely Our users trust us to protect their identities against unlawful disclosure, and we take this responsibility seriously. Thank you for sustaining wikimedia and benefiting readers around the world
