Sadly not. apologies for lack of communication. Yesterday, I decided to
have an afternoon off from email and go read a book in the park to
destress, today I'm busy. Was hoping between the board, the employees and
the list, something could be cobbled together. ;-)

Well, there's no need to answer all questions: I've participated in government 
consultations before and only answered questions that are appropriate to 
answer. On an purely logical basis, if you take a position on some matter, that 
makes some of the questions asked irrelevant. N/A or I/We take no position 
on this matter. or leaving it blank is just fine.

Indeed, we shouldn't be answering sections of the consultation unless they have 
direct bearing on the mission and running of the Wikimedia projects.

I've tweaked it a bit. There was an unclosed bracket on section 2 and
the last sentence looked stray; please check my change is close to
what you meant.

I'm not sure I understand our section 3.

 I'm not sure I understand our section 3.


I tweaked that to read a little more clearly (sorry Tom if I missed the
point you were making). Although as Mike mentions on the talk page - some
of the bullets only mention areas of interest, they don't make points. #3
could probably do with someone adding a position we hold. etc.

Yep, most probably. I've attempted to make so many edits to fix up the grammar 
and so on, but have gone into a mad house of edit conflicts. Hope someone else 
can fix it up. ;-)
