[Advocacy Advisors] Fwd: do you want to be listed on the Open Policy Network website?

[Luis Villa]

Stephen and I spoke with Tim Vollmer of OPN/CC on Tuesday, and OPN seems
like this is something both chapters and the Foundation might find useful.
Essentially, the purpose is to make it easier to share information about
how to influence policy towards more open licensing. This isn't a
substitute for other kinds of work (e.g., on copyright reform) but may be a
useful resource for Wikimedians (perhaps particularly chapters) who are
working with local governments on explaining the value of open licensing.

As further context on the OPN, it may be useful to take a look at the
guiding principles:
http://staging.openpolicynetwork.org/about/#principles

and work plan:
http://staging.openpolicynetwork.org/resources/#workplan

If no one here has serious objections, Stephen and I suggest listing the
Foundation as a formal member of the group, and I think chapters, FKAGEU,
or WEASEL may also want to consider joining.
