What do we agree on: Advocacy TF recommendations

I would like to suggest that we prioritize public domain advocacy over net neutrality advocacy, because although both are worthy causes, there are already many powerful voices (major corporations, etc) on the net neutrality effort, but there is unfortunately only a rather meager push for the public domain, a cause which does not have the natural business allies that net neutrality has.

I agree.

I hope the environmental strategies and tactics continues to emphasize telecommuting Foundation employees when possible and reducing the per-employee carbon footprint. I am sad that is opposed to being able to sponsor travel expenses for Wikimanias, which is probably important to community health.

The Wikimedia movement is in an excellent position to be an effective global advocate, not only for niche areas that are special to us, but also to define significant drives in favor of self-directed learning, education in general, and the benefits of open collaboration.

As to Pharos's comment about public domain, I agree: encouraging this and encouraging government policies that mandate sharing national treasures and collections would make good high-visibility initiatives. (The two overlap, but have different focus.) People already working in those spaces (such as resource.org) tend to love Wikimedia and could help us build a network of support.
