Thanks Andrew - that’s a good start. :-) I’ve added some of my suggested answers to some
of the questions. I’ve cc’d commons-l who I’m sure will be able to suggest better answers
that I can…
Thanks,
Mike

Hi all,
The government is currently consulting on reducing the copyright term
in some unpublished material - this is the "2039 problem" that a
number of institutions have been raising in recent weeks, where
unpublished works can be in copyright until 2039 despite being
potentially several centuries old.

This seems like something where WMUK should submit a response (we have
a pretty clear interest in rationalising the regulations here).
Deadline is a month away so we've got some time to think about it.
I'm happy to draft up some notes for us to send in if no-one else is
putting something together - have we been looking at this already?
Andrew.
