Wikimedia UK regrets to have to announce to the community that the
Wikimedia Foundation’s outgoing Executive Director, Sue Gardner, has given
us formal notice of her decision under her mandate from the WMF board not
to renew our fundraising agreement, thereby excluding us from this year’s
fundraiser.
We have written an open letter to Sue about this decision. A copy of our
letter to Sue can be found
here<https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/File:Open_letter_to_Sue_Gardner_regarding_non-renewal.pdf>
on
the Wikimedia UK wiki.
Thanks and regards,
Stevie
