What we are advocating for and why
Wikimania 2019

This discussion sessions seeks to build off the Wiki Public Policy workshop conducted in Madrid in June 2019 by looking at what our priorities should be and gain a better understanding of them. Even if we 'know' what we want (like freedom of Panorama or Fair Use) it is always good to review these objectives, discuss them, gain greater collective clarity on them, and see if there are any other issues (such as censorship for example) that we should be aware of. Also should we adopt a system for prioritising advocacy causes and what should that system look like? These are the issues that we will discuss. At a minimum this will have the benefit/core objective of giving us as a group clarity on what we are all after and why. The why is always important when trying to explain to people why we are advocating for X, Y and Z.
