In addition, there's a fairly well-organized set of advocacy groups in 
related areas (Creative Commons, FSF, EFF), who perhaps some of the work 
could be delegated to? There would still be a need for a process to 
decide when Wikimedia should do things such as agreeing to sign on to an 
EFF amicus brief. But imo it makes sense to leave most of the legwork to 
advocacy organizations who focus on it.
