Hi Dimitar, thanks for your great effort!<br><br>I am pretty sure that many people on the list feel the urgency of joining forces in order to prevent new EU-directives which aim towards new protecting rights (like in the case of musical recordings) or hamper the incentives for free re-usage of cultural goods (like in the case of <a href="http://www.wikimedia.de/images/4/43/120810_WMDE_Statement_On_Orphan_Works.pdf">orphan works</a>). It&#39;s necessary to professionalize the way how we address our concerns, if we want to make a difference in Bruxelles.<br>

<br>&gt; I will until January try to come up with a set of ideas/proposals/demands,<br>&gt; that can hopefully be discussed in the Wikimedia movement (especially the<br>&gt; European chapters) <br><br>I&#39;ll be glad to contribute. Maybe we should also think about a RL meeting for all Wikipedians/Wikimedians who like to be part of the process.<br>

<br>&gt; I believe after ACTA blew up the Commission will be much more willing to listen and cooperate.<br><br>This optimistic stance ist also shared by <a href="http://www.edri.org/" target="_blank">EDRI</a>. On the other hand, these folks (together with &quot;La Quadrature Du Net&quot;) are curently the only &quot;progressive&quot; voices getting heard. Therefore we should also think about the best way to have a real impact against the armada of professional lobbyists paid by the copyright industries.<br>
