Hi John,
I don't think there is one central place where this kind of material is
organized on a wiki—yet. I know there are a few categories on Wikimedia
Commons [0] with materials and submissions, a page on Meta Wiki [1] with a
library of EU policy resources, some research on particular topics on
Wikilegal [2], and material linked at the end of the position statements at
policy.wikimedia.org [3].
If you have time to propose a simple and useful organization system, I
think that would be a helpful start.
Thanks for thinking about this.
Best,
Stephen

Hi all
Is there a place where documentation we have around public policy work is
kept? I was looking in the Wikimedia Resource Center and it appears there
isn't currently a space thats appropriate, is it kept somewhere else?

The things that would be most useful for me are case studies of the
projects that have happened and understanding which international
agreements support the work of this group? E.g the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights:
- *Article 19. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and
expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without
interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through
any media and regardless of frontiers.*
* - Article 26. (1) Everyone has the right to education. Education shall
be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary
education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall
be made generally available and higher education shall be equally
accessible to all on the basis of merit. - (2) Education shall be directed
to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening
of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote
understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or
religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations
for the maintenance of peace.*
If a space doesn't exist I'd be very happy to put some time in to help set
one up
Thanks
John
