Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the Advocacy Advisors Group!
The
purpose of this mailing list is to provide an open venue where anyone
can participate in lively discussions about political and legislative
developments around the world that could affect the Wikimedia mission.
If the need arises, the Wikimedia Foundation will also seek discussion
and input from the members of this list regarding potential policy or
political associations with third parties, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation Policy and Political Association Guideline.
Advocacy Advisors Group Instructions & Guidelines
-
Anyone can start a new subject thread.
Read an interesting article about new censorship law you want to share
or want to start a discussion on open internet legislation? Just email
Advocacy_advisors[at] lists.wikimedia.org.
-
Stay within the scope of the group.
While we believe in open discourse about any and everything, the
purpose of this mailing list is limited to political and legislative
developments that can or will have an impact on Wikimedia projects or
the mission, and any potential policy or political affiliations that may
develop with third parties as a result of such developments. Please try
to limit discussion to this purpose.
-
Keep it on one thread.
For the sake of organization and clarity, if you would like to comment
on an established subject, please respond to that particular thread
rather than starting a new one.
-
Stay on point. For
the sake of organization and clarity, if you would like to comment on
an established subject, please respond to that particular thread rather
than starting a new one. And please limit those comments to the subject
at hand. If you have a new issue that you want addressed, start a new
thread!
-
Above all, be nice!
Everyone has their own views, some of which may differ from your own.
Please treat everyone in this group with respect and civility, even
during heated debates. Remember to be clear when expressing your
thoughts, calm when responding, and understanding when you disagree. Any
member of this group may be given a warning or removed from the list
for incivility.
