I lead an incredibly talented [[Staff and contractors#Legal and Community Advocacy|team of lawyers and community advocates]] at the Foundation. We oversee all legal matters for the Foundation and focus on key initiatives to help support the community consistent with our Foundation goals and values. We deal with a wide range of issues and projects, including policy drafting, trademark and copyright law, international law, employment law, litigation, fundraising and grant law, domestic and international contracts, privacy law, ethics, internet law, and non-profit corporate governance. We are also charged with carrying forward the Foundation’s goals of advocating for the community in new ways, including fighting for content online, facilitating community discussions about critical WMF initiatives that affect the community, better supporting Wikimedia administrators and functionaries, and providing information about legal and legislative issues that impact online content. For legal ethical reasons we can only represent the Wikimedia Foundation and cannot be the lawyers for the community or chapters, though we often provide strong support to the community in many ways consistent with the the Foundation goals. You can read more about our initiatives [[m:Legal and Community Advocacy/LCA Announcement|here]] and [[m:User:Geoffbrigham/Strategy|here]]. |
