What, wait, I just saw the reference to a Monday call. I don't have it on my agenda. Could someone send me the pertinent details, please, so I can get it on my calendar? Thanks! (I don't have to attend these, and probably won't attend a lot of them, but I like the idea of cherry picking the ones I want to.)

Hi Philippe, It should be at eight Continental European Time through Skype. Bij the way: the reply option in Liquid threads does not work for me. See also comments of other users in the feedback posts. Esther H 14:43, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Esther in our Dec 7 call talked about fleshing out her wiki-lawyering and exemption doctrine proposal, and connecting Wikimedia internal policy and external regulations (e.g., across Europe, where every country has its own copyright laws... that for example, could be an advocacy position... more universal/integrated copyright law).

A specific proposal from Esther re: copyright, creating a European chapter?

Asparuh re: censorship. We are 100% against censorship *of content*. We are against the *censorship of access* but there are considerable local and cultural differences of interpretation here that we should be very sensitive to before forcing Western values on the rest of the world.

Asparuh re: net neutrality: we are against private sector or government interference with an open internet. Good to take a very strong stand here.

Asparuh rasied a new topic about which Wikimedia might take an advocacy position: which is universal translation and integration of effort across culture/languages. (A digital divide issue.)
