Hi Will, Reset the Net is an interesting initiative around freedom from mass surveillance by government. We try to focus our Open Knowledge endorsements on projects with a clear open data / open knowledge element. There's lots of causes out there which we might well support as individuals, especially around digital rights and so forth, but as an organisation we feel it's best to focus our support on causes directly related to our work and mission, which most likely means that we can be confident that Open Knowledge folks would support the cause. My sense is that Reset the Net doesn't quite fall within this remit; what do others think?
Of course, Local Groups and Chapters may make their own decisions on such initiatives, in consultation with the appropriate local board of directors and community, and to ensure if they do sign that they make it clear what organisation or group they represent - ie the Chapter or the specific Local Group.
