[WikiEN-l] "Corporate Representatives for Ethical Wikipedia Engagement"

[Thomas Morton]

One of those would be me :)

A suggestion I picked up on was to have a joint session with Wikipedians &
individuals from CREWE where we could have an actual dialogue (I sent an
email to Daria about getting assistance for this last night).

If your interested in helping out with the dialogue that would rock :)
