Editor's Notes
- Marketing: * 3 sets of postcard - recommend photo from the commons and short quote from the relevant article, Jimmy vision, and a sentence - "This picture is one of 5M media items on commons, 14.5M articles, 100,000 on them are in Hebrew that available for free and for free-use on Wikipedia".

- This legislation was discussed in the ministerial committee for legislation today, but was _rejected_ by the committee, for reasons unspecified. Unfortunately, the protocols of this committee are classified, so we have no way of knowing the grounds for the rejection. This means the legislation would not be submitted by the government coalition. However, MK Sheetrit is still determined to pass this legislation, and will be submitting it to parliament this coming Wednesday. We hope this "private" (i.e. non-coalition) legislation proposal would force a parliamentary discussion, as that would not be classified.
- We're glad to report that the legislation initiative we have been lobbying for, namely the Copyright Law reform regarding state-owned intellectual property (currently limited to photographs), has made another big step forward: in the general assembly of the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) this afternoon, the proposed law was read and voted on, in what is called a "preliminary reading". The members of Knesset present voted 21 in favor and zero against , i.e. unanimously supported the proposed amendment making state and IDF-owned photographs free for use by the public. The proposal now passes to the Science and Technology committee of the Knesset, where it will be formalized, amended, and then passed back to the general assembly for voting into law.
