Hello everyone,
The fall/winter policy agenda in Brussels has some exciting topics lined up
for us. After the #saveFoP campaign, what will the Commission include in
its reform proposal? Will some Member States like Belgium and Estonia get
active on their own? What will happen to other copyright wish list items
like safeguarding the public domain and re-use of public sector information?
Non-copyright issues surfacing this season include a consultation on
platform neutrality, privacy and data protection negotiations and a review
of notice&action procedures.
Organisational challenges for Wikimedia include learning how to smoothly
shift gears between European and national actions. Plus, we should take a
look at our long-term orientation in view of the public policy portal [3]
to ensure global coherence.
In brief, there's tons of interesting work awaiting us. After editions [1]
and [2], let's pick the best date for this year's Big Fat Brussels Meeting:

And yes, in case it wasn't clear, everyone's invited.
Cheers,
Dimi
