MEP Amelia Andersdotter said on twitter that her office is also working
on a draft response:
It would be worth coordinating with her.

Hi Stevie,
This is actually the kind of great news we've been waiting for. Of course,
it's a long way uphill, but at least all the right questions are on the
table. Term lengths, new exceptions, unified rules, an opt-in system. My
initial reaction was "wow". It will be important to have it filled out by
February by as many as possible.
We have also alreayd had a few like-minded organisations asking whether we
can cooperate on this one. I believe that it makes sense if the people
interested in copyright come together and work out something like
"answering guidelines". Creative Commons did that for the PSI Directive and
it was quite effective. I have already spoken to Mathias about this and
will include anybody who wishes to join in the process.
If we have such a thing by the end of the year/first half of January, then
we will have until February to spread the word and have organisations
participate. Seeing that this is copyright, it is also the area where we
can have the biggest impact and should take the lead.
At least these are my initial thoughts :) Open for comments.

Hello everyone,
Thought you might like to know that the European Commission has just
opened a public consultation on copyright.

Any thoughts?
