Hi John,

I have been trying to wrap my head around this as well. From a European
perspective I expect the US trade policy to drastically change, so that's
one thing. TTIP seems highly unlikely now.

Weren't the republicans somewhat moreopen to copyright changes in general?
Anyhow, I am in DC for OpenCon and would be greet to perhaps meet-up and
discuss. John & Julia from WMDE are also in town and I know other
Wikimedians will also be coming.

Cheers,
Dimi

Dear all

Our Public Policy site <https://policy.wikimedia.org/> is now a little more
than one year old, so we are getting ready to update the text. Over on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Public_policy/Update> you can find these
draft changes.

We invite you to give us your input and feedback about these changes on
the corresponding discussion page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Public_policy>. We will post the new
changes on the site on November 28. We will of course continue to
periodically update this text on a regular basis, so you are welcome to
continue to provide suggestions.

If you have additional related resources, such as your chapter's comments
to policymakers, please let us know! We may be able to add more of this
information to each of the policy areas on the site.

We look forward to hearing your feedback!

Best,
Jan
