Hi all

There is some confusion about how the wikileaks.ch matter happened.
This summary might be helpful.

Pascal Gloor (our vice chairman) and I met Julian Assange 3 weeks ago
in Geneva. The subject was the announced request for political asylum.
We explained Switzerland, our federalism, the direct democracy and how
to deal with our administrations. That's it, we didn't mention
wikileaks.ch. Also we don't have contact information to directly reach
him. It is quite hard to get in touch with Wikileaks, it isn't
impossible though. But it might take a few days.

So how did the wikileaks.ch story happen? The explanation is simple:
We registered wikileaks.ch about 6 months ago. Since then it was
redirected to the Wikileaks content. What happened yesterday was a
unilateral decision of Wikileaks to push wikileaks.ch as the official
domain on Twitter. We were not informed about that and quite surprised
that a journalist called and asked for details about Wikileaks moving
to Switzerland.

Because of the high media request load there was a press conference
yesterday evening. It was recorded with a cell phone, you will find
the video on youtube soon.

Some minutes ago I got good news: Switch, the registrar for .ch
domains, told us that there is no reason to block wikileaks.ch.
Because we configured 5 nameservers in Switzerland nothing can happen
anymore. wikileaks.ch will be available forever:).

I'm available for questions, Jabber (SciFi@???) or eMail.

Kind regards,
Denis
