Hello everyone, As many of you may recall that we put in a proposal with the Department of Trade and Industry to include Freedom of Panorama in a new version of the South African Copyright Act. Since then the DTI has been working on a draft version of the act which will go up for public comment some time this year. In the event that no mention or allowance of Freedom of Panorama is made in the new draft act I have proposed that we line up a public banner add to go public on Wikipedia when it is open to public comments. To vote/discuss this I have posted a comment about this on the South Africa Project Page on Wikipedia. I have added a lot more information about this issue there. I would like to know if people could please go to that page to vote/join the conversation at the link below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_South_Africa#Vote I would also like to know if someone from Afrikaans Wikipedia could start the same conversation there? As if we want a similar banner to go up on af.wikipedia then the Afrikaans community will also need to vote on it. Cheers, Douglas. -- Douglas Ian Scott 司道格 Skype: douglas0scott South African mobile number: +27 (0)79 515 8727 _______________________________________________ WikimediaZA mailing list WikimediaZA(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaza To unsubscribe, send an email to WikimediaZA-unsubscribe@lists. wikimedia.org
