[Advocacy Advisors] Which would help volunteer editors more?

[James Salsman]

I agree an international approach would be best, but at the same time,
[1] and [2] seriously limit the number and capabilities of would-be,
active, and inactive volunteer editors.

Is it even possible to take a truly international approach to the
underlying issue? I hope so, but I fear that any such approach will be
more Kumbaya than active or effective problem solving.
