Hello advocacy advisers,
The Wikimedia Foundation was recently approached about joining advocacy campaign opposing an amendmenthttp://www.scribd.com/doc/132249133/House-Judiciary-Committee-discussion-draftto
the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act ("CFAA"). Following our guidelines
on policy and political affiliationshttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal_and_Community_Advocacy/Foundation_Policy_and_Political_Affiliations_Guideline,
I would like to ask your for guidance on how/whether we should participate.
The amendment seems to make a bad law worse, and seems to make TOS into federal law, among many other legal issues.
The problem is more how we should participate, rather than whether. Is the advocacy campaign proposing specific actions, or leaving it to the imaginations of supporters?
