I haven't read the consultation documents yet, but as a general rule I think we should respond to any consultation about topics relevant to us. It's a good way to get the relevant people to recognise our name and to make sure they consider the impact of their decisions on a section of our society, culture and economy that is very easy to forget due to so few people really understanding it. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
