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/questionna... ) 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

Hi all. Lodewijk today forwarded me this interesting EU consultation about open access, open data and digital preservation for scientific information.
Press release: http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/11/890
Consultation: http://ec.europa.eu/research/consultations/scientific_information/consultati...
It could be very, very interesting if we (as Wikimedia Movement, or Wikimedia chapters) could write a statement to contribute. Maybe our brand-new Open Access WMF fellow could be interested in coordinating :-D
Anyway, it seems a good opportunity to put in (digital) paper what we think about these issues.
Any thoughts? We have until September 9th.
