A few opinions: * I'd like to see reference to environmental impact of print; and a requirement to balance outreach against this; with emphasis on the use of electronic communications wherever possible. * There should be a clear process for requesting, agreeing and publishing press releases and other "broadcast" communications (leaflets, posters etc, as opposed to wiki pages or mailing list posts) *in a timely manner*. This should not involve board sign-off; their job is policy, not micro-management. * The strategy should refer to post holders' titles, not individuals' names (just in case Stevie wins the lottery and decamps to the Bahamas!) * Video/ audio content should be available in accessible format to deaf or blind people. Videos should be subtitled, and audio transcribed, wherever possible. * Similarly, all print material should include an offer to provide large-print or audio copies, etc (or a URL for such). * Photography (and event video) - due consideration should be given to individuals who do not wish to be shown (or "outed"); especially minors ATB, -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
