Stephen,
That says, "Policy and political issues include public support for or
against proposed laws and executive actions, online backing for
political initiatives, and partnerships with organizations to promote
shared policy and political positions.... [examples include]
Collaborative Advocacy / We collaborate with another organization to
take action on a particular policy or political question."
Am I correct in saying that there have not been any such actions since
that Foundation Policy was approved?
Yes, that is correct. Please note that this is an internal guideline, as opposed to a formal Foundation policy.
I propose that the Foundation survey the community asking about how
often they expect such actions to take place. I am sure there will be
a wide range of opinion. Some such as myself would support formal
proposal and consideration rather frequently, and plenty of people
think that they should never occur.
Will you perform such a survey?
It is unlikely that we will have the opportunity to perform a direct survey on the topic. However, if you want to participate in more frequent advocacy, I would be happy to recommend some dedicated advocacy organizations for relevant issues (such as the Center for Democracy and Technology, Public Knowledge, etc).
