Thank you for sharing this Andy. 

I am very much in favour of supporting initiatives like this. For instance, WMUK recently signed the Lyon Declaration on access to information and development. I see these things as very much an extension / relation to the Millennium Development Goals. 

Would anyone object to Wikimedia UK becoming a signatory to this?

Thank you,

Stevie

I think that WMUK should, too. It aligns closely with existing WMUK
polices and the Wikimedia community's ethos.

(I've made the same suggestion to the WMF)

Note that indivduals can also sign it; as I have done.
