Dear all,

I completed a first draft:

 I wanted to remind you all that the deadline of the European
 consultation on Open Access and Open Data is September 9th.
 Here's the link:
 http://ec.europa.eu/research/consultations/scientific_information/consultat…

 and here's the survey on Meta:
 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/RCom/OA/EU

 Daniel is working on that, but feedback could be useful.

 Here my few cents about some proposals we could make in the comment
 sections ofthe survey:

 1. We need strategies/policies for OA. We need institutions/university
 to *require* OAfrom doctoral students and researchers.
 2. We need digital preservation to be done by libraries and archives,
 not publishers. They have right now the functions and services
 (access, dissemination, preservation) that should be accomplished by
 libraries. Preservation is an issue.
 3. We need clear, easily understandable licenses.
 CC-BY for articles and CC-0 for research data should do their job.
 No more ad hoc, human-not-understandable licenses, but clear Creative
 Commons. (CC-BY= we can use that on Wikipedia, we can upload it on
 Commons, we can publish it on Wikisource, we have material for
 Wikibooks/Wikiversity, etc.)

 I hope this can be useful.

  Thank you Daniel, great work.
 Lodewijk was suggesting that we reply as an organization,
 because they don't really count single citizens proposals.
 If we manage to write something, we could then forward it many times,
 one per chapter, in several languages :-)

 But first things first, we need to work on the draft.

  Hi Aubrey,

 thanks for the invitation. I had indeed planned to set up a document
 to facilitate collaborative drafting of a response. So far, I have
 seen the Open Knowledge Foundation, the Euroscience Working Group on
 Open Access as well as Eurodoc signaling an interest in drafting a
 response, and doing it all together - perhaps with an individual
 comment per organization - could be worth a try.

 The questionnaire comes in three variants - for citizens,
 organisations and public bodies - and the session to fill it in is
 time-limited, so we will have to set up an editable copy somewhere.
 The Commission provided a PDF (
 http://ec.europa.eu/research/consultations/scientific_information/questionn…
 ) whose text cannot be copied, and I inquired with them on July 16 to
 provide another version of the file. My submission was "forwarded to
 the technical unit" two days later but no reaction since - I just
 dropped them a line again.

 To get things started, I just set up
 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/RCom/OA/EU . Please chime in there.

 Thanks and cheers,

 Daniel
