New Wikimania security report posted

Dear folks,

The second of the security consulting firms we've been working with on
developing a security profile for Wikimania in Alexandria has released
its report for our publication. The second firm is Stratfor
Protective Intelligence, and their report can be found here: <http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Alexandria%2C_Egypt_-_Security_Assessment_and_Recommendations.pdf
>.

Stratfor has a "Welcome, Wikimedia Members" page at <https://www.stratfor.com/campaign/welcome_wikimedia_members
> in case you want to consult with them on other matters.

The first report, from Clayton Associates, continues to be available
here: <http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Egypt_country_profile_04-22-08.pdf
>.

The initial Wikimedia Foundation "Alexandria Security FAQ" can still
be found here:
<http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Alexandria_Security_FAQ>.

I hope the consensus here is that the Foundation has been responsive
to security concerns raised on this list and elsewhere. We have tried
to assemble a full range of resources for those who have raised these
concerns.

General Counsel

Thanks Mike. The Foundation has done a great job with this at this point.

Good. It supports the primary concern that I've seen in publications,
and could be expressed as "Don't look for terrorists when you should be
looking both ways before crossing the street."

The optional nature of Egyptian traffic lights should not be attributed
to malice.

In their defense terrorists do not pay attention to traffic lights...
