Hi all:
Dan Watts, who is helping Mike Godwin here in our San Francisco office,
has drafted some templates to be used for DMCA takedown notices, as well
as some DMCA counterclaims.
As these impact Commons as much as any one Wikimedia community, it is
our hope that community can come together to discuss these templates
and incorporate the suggestions offered herein, to improve the lines of
communication between the community and the Wikimedia Foundation when it
has been directed to remove materials in accordance with DMCA.
The templates and suggestions are located at

I'll be cross-posting this message to the Commons Village Pump.
From File:Memo - WMF DMCA takedown and counterclaim
notificatino
template draft 1 Watts.pdf it looks like the name address and
telephone
willl only be revealed to the claimant.
However, Memo - WMF DMCA putback notification template Watts V2.pdf
makes it look like the full counterclaim will be publicly shown to
everybody, which doesn't seem a good idea, since our counterclaims are
likely to come from individuals.
