Re: [Wikimedia-l] Question: How do we define lobbying?

There are some useful draft definitions here. It would be handy to get a page on meta started as a list of best practices for chapters and other groups that may not be sure of what are normal sorts of lobbying accepted within the Wikimedia movement that could be okay for funding support. From my p
