... it's probably more effective to make your point
directly....
Any volunteer organization with a several year history of declining
volunteer participation should refocus its external advocacy efforts
from actions which can benefit no more than a small percentage of
volunteers to those that will likely benefit vastly larger numbers of
volunteers who might otherwise not have the time or inclination to
contribute.
Nobody seems to support it.
Those who have expressed preferences at
http://www.allourideas.org/wmfcsdraft
so far have not produced particularly radical priorities, which are
currently as follows, from
http://www.allourideas.org/wmfcsdraft/results
Open educational resources
Open access scientific research
Broadband internet access
Copyright on government works
Infrastructure construction and maintenance
College subsidy with income-based repayment terms
Ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its
protocols without reservation
Increased data center hardware power efficiency
Telecommuting
Increase education spending,
The Convention on the Rights of the Child is a good and
important
thing, and ... the two nations which have somehow neglected to
ratify it should certainly be strongly encouraged to do so...
Most of its central portions regarding education and livelihood remain
unratified for the majority of the population because of treaty
reservations nullifying vast swaths of the text.
but I would strongly oppose WMF being the vehicle for
such
domestic political campaigning
Should volunteers decide this question collectively, or is the
unsustainable status quo more important to preserve than
representation of volunteer preferences?
