Confirm stewardship of the Country and Territory Protection List
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

The Country and Territory Protection List was developed by some combination of efforts from Security-Team and WMF-Legal.

However, it is not clear which team is the ultimate steward, as discussed in T380392, so we need to decide that.

Acceptance criteria: stewardship should be clear and documented. Preferably, this would be an endnote on the public policy page (this would makes it easy for staff members to find, because there is no separate internal documentation page, and easy for community members to know where to send comments).

There should also be a clear statement about the planned frequency of updates (which could even be "as needed") so list consumers know what to expect; the page implies that updates will be made every year, but it's not clearly stated.

Event Timeline

As the WMF-Legal project tag was added to this task, some general information to avoid wrong expectations:
Please note that public tasks in Wikimedia Phabricator are in general not a place where to expect feedback from the Legal Team of the Wikimedia Foundation due to the scope of the team and/or nature of legal topics. See the project tag description.
Please see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal for when and how to contact the Legal Team. Thanks!

@acooper is going to reach out to WMF-Legal internally. Please include me on the thread 😊

I am following up and seeing whether we can schedule a discussion with the Human Rights team, just a small update.
