Very interesting!
I will certainly attend the conference and, if possible, I will think of a
proposal concerning teaching at University level in Ancient History,
Archeology and Art History.
All the best

Hi all,
(and sorry for cross-posting)
On 3&4 September 2015 in Brussels, Wikimedia Belgium will co-organise an
international conference aimed at bringing together professionals and
policy makers with an interest in sound and image preservation.
http://www.soima2015.org/
The basic idea is to see what practical and legal challenges there are to
preserving non-written content and to start working on solutions together
with other organisations and decision-makers.
Currently we're looking for people who might have something interesting to
say. The call for papers is organised along four threads:
1.Memory, Intangible Heritage and Creative Expressions
2. Sustaining Sound and Image Heritage
3.Creative Use and Access
4. Education and Training: Current Needs and Future Possibilities
Deadline is 15 February. See attached files for more information or just
ask us.
Cheers,
Dimi & Romaine
Wikimedia UK recently executed a successful mailing campaign aimed at
MEPs in their national constituency. Each MEP received a letter listing
urgent copyright-reform needs along with an offer from WMUK to answer
copyright-related questions that decision makers may have.[1]
We would like to try to replicate the mailing campaign in other EU
countries.
Dimi has set up a wiki page where you can see the concrete steps that
are needed to realize the plan.[2] To begin with we need wikimedians,
staff or volunteers, who want to take on the role as national coordinators.
The coordinator's job is to make sure that the mail is prepared and
sent, which involves a number of steps such as translation and gathering
addresses.
The ambition is to send out the letters in February and then to maintain
the contacts that we establish. It is a great way to identify MEPs who
are friendly to our goals and with whom we can work on future projects
as well.
Right now, we need to find coordinators. If you would like to do this
important job or if you know someone else in your country who would,
that's great news! It's a very concrete and rewarding task for anyone
interested in influencing policies, and we will provide the support that
you need throughout the project.
Hope to hear from you!
Karl and Dimi

On December 10th, a small delegation of Wikimedians attended the Council
of Europe (CoE) seminar “Protecting human rights online: Prevention
rather than cure.” (Thanks Yana for the heads up.)
The context is that CoE has produced a guide to educate Internet users
on their online rights – a guide adopted by all 47 member states in the
CoE Committee of Ministers. It has so far been officially translated
into eight languages. The rights included are rights based on the
European Convention on Human Rights.
The Guide aims at explaining in a simple manner the practical
implications of rights such as free speech, access to ICT infrastructure
and education, privacy, and due process. The entire text is 4 pages and
can be found here:
http://www.coe.int/en/web/internet-users-rights/guide
Now the CoE are in the process of figuring out how to spread the guide
to as many Internet users as possible.
The main points made by CoE and other participants at the event:
* No new rights are established. The guide just consolidates and
explains existing rights.
* There is no distinction between online and offline human rights.
They apply equally.
* The biggest threat to human rights online is the delegation of
policing responsibilities to Internet intermediaries.
* Legal action is not the only way to approach violations of online
rights. Another option is to increase the awareness of human rights
among online service providers and public authorities.
* The focus should be on preventing violations of online rights rather
than on not on curing them. Spreading this guide is a means to that end.
The seminar was followed by a roundtable discussion with a smaller
number of participants. The CoE expressed an interest in what the
Wikimedia community can do to help disseminate the guide – both the
guide as a whole and the information in the guide.
Input on how the Wikimedians can best help getting this valuable
information into the hands of those who need it is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Karl and Neno

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] WHO interested in evidence on the impact of CC
licensing
To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
And just to clarify currently WHO is "green open access", free to view but
not free to reuse.
The request is for them to go "gold open access" free to view and free to
reuse.
They are wondering why is this reuse bit important.

Hey All
I have be trying to convince the World Health Organization to go to a CC BY

We would welcome sharing with us some evidence-based research on how
licensing works under the Creative Commons attribution licence has made an

Hi everyone,
As I have mentioned, I'm working on an overview of ongoing and upcoming
EU processes likely to affect Wikimedia activities.
For anyone who wants to follow the progress at this early stage, or
perhaps even do some edits, the link to the overview is:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EU_policy/Issues_overview
The purpose is not to give in-depth insights into each process but
rather to serve as a basis on which to prioritize our efforts.
Best regards,
Karl
Hi all,
Luca Belli with the Council of Europe is organizing an event in Brussels on
protection of human rights online that may be of interest to Dimi, Karl,
and maybe other folks on this list. Let me know if you would like to attend
and I'll put you in contact with Luca.
Best,
Yana

Subject: Conference on Human Rights Online
To: Yana Welinder <yanawelinder(a)gmail.com>
Hi Yana,
I hope you are doing well.
I am writing you because I am organising an event on “Protecting Human
Rights Online: Prevention Rather Than Cure” that will take place on 10
December in Brussels and I think your colleagues in Brussels might be
interested in attending the event. May I ask you to liaise with them?
FYI, two interactive multi-stakeholder debates will take place during the
morning with the aim of identifying challenges to human right online and
propose solutions, based on the Council of Europe Guide to Human Rights for
Internet Users
<https://wcd.coe.int/ViewDoc.jsp?Ref=CM/Rec(2014)6&Language=lanEnglish&Ver=o…>
.
Furthermore an informal roundtable with selected civil society actors will
take place from 14:30 to 16:00 to define together and foster a common
strategy of implementation of the Guide
<http://www.coe.int/en/web/internet-users-rights/guide>.
We would be glad to have the Wikimedia Foundation amongst the attendees
both at the morning event and at the afternoon roundtable.
In attachment you will find the programme as well as the concept note of
the event.
Thanks for your help and have a great day,
Luca
