[Advocacy Advisors] FKAGEU at Wikimania?

[Dimitar Parvanov Dimitrov]

Hi Stevie,

as far as talks are currently concerned, I've prepared two submissions. One
is a presentation of what has happened on EU level in the past 12 months
since Hong Kong [1] and the other a panel discussion about advocacy and
Wikimedia.[2]

I like the idea of having a thirnd session focusing clearly on the FKAGEU.
This way we can have the presentation focusing on the legislative aspecsts
on the EU level, while the new session will cover the organisational side.
The panel discussion can then be more general/global discussion on
advocacy.

If we're going for the third session, though, I'd like to find someone else
who is willing to take the lead. The reason is that it should be focused on
participation and we should let participating chapters/members share their
experiences. I feel like I am too deep into it already to be able to do
just that.

I am, of course, open to other ideas for splitting the topic. I do believe
we have enough things to discuss and having three sessions would allow us
to be more targeted and effective.

Dimi
