[Advocacy Advisors] Topic scope inquiry; legal question about Harald Bischoff

Hi James,

If the Foundation starts issuing an opinion about every issue, it risks diluting its brand and lose credibility.  And considering the community can’t even agree on Media Viewer, I am also not sure how unanimous they would feel about universal health care or even world peace.

Would anyone object to a discussion of these questions?
