Sounds fair enough. What I understand from it is that
you limit the
general notice only if it has been discussed before, but you will still
discuss it on this list - sounds reasonable.
Thanks for informing!

Hello advisory group,
We are making an addition to the WMF's guidelines for Policy and
Political Advocacy. The purpose is to describe the WMF's approach to
joining advocacy letters on topics that are consistent with our previous
discussions on this list, such as advocating for the public domain, privacy
protections, and free speech. In some circumstances, it can be difficult to
share an advocacy letter publicly before it is finalized. Additionally,
letters are often finalized on a short time frame, since there is a usually
a deadline for when it will be effective, and this can pose some difficulty
for prior consultation on the exact language. Even with this addition to
our guidelines, we still aim to share letters on this list.
You can see the addition here:

If you have any thoughts on these guidelines, you may share them on the
talk page:

Thanks,
Stephen
