Let's see now, we can't be political or correct in EFF-A, right?

[The moderator interjects: we could be edging toward a flame war on this
topic, folks.  I'd like to see some serious, unheated discussion.  In
particular, I'd appreciate it if someone from the directors would
re-clarify any legal restrictions on our involvement with partisan
politics (and while you're at it, with lobbying and legislative work)
which derive from our non-profit status.  I'd also appreciate it if the
rest of you would give some thought to how we should interact with other
organizations which may or may not share some of our concerns.  Is
"liaison" with a science fiction group okay but not with a political
party?  What about with another non-profit issue-oriented group (e.g.
the ACLU or CPSR)?  Is there a way for us to exchange information without
becoming tainted by politics or controversy which is not our own?  How do
other groups handle this? -- Prentiss Riddle, riddle@tic.com]
