Subject: [Foundation-l] ACTA analysis?
To: foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org

I would like to thank Geoff Brigham for the excellent job he did
analysing the consequences of SOPA for wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Legal_overview
Would it be possible to analyse ACTA in a similar manner? This is
apparently the treaty text:
http://www.international.gc.ca/trade-agreements-accords-commerciaux/assets/…
Possibly we've already done so, and I've missed it? :-)
I'm especially interested in the following questions:
* What issues, if any, does ACTA raise, for wikipedia?
* what points would be wise to point out to legislature, to ensure
wikipedia does not come to harm, if implemented anyway?
We can then proceed to engage with the diverse members of the diverse
committees in .eu (as required), or engage with our local
legislature (as required)
Once appropriate for us, note that La quadrature du net is taking
action, and has collected all relevant phone numbers and addresses
etc:

The window for action on ACTA is now very narrow, time is short.
sincerely,
Kim Bruning
