Thank you for sharing this Andy. I am very much in favour of supporting initiatives like this. For instance, WMUK recently signed the Lyon Declaration on access to information and development. I see these things as very much an extension / relation to the Millennium Development Goals.
Would anyone object to Wikimedia UK becoming a signatory to this?
