Speaking for myself and not necessarily for WMF, I think that the Wikimedia movement has an important role to play in copyright reform, since we are the biggest and most high-profile example of how a broader information commons can benefit everyone. I'm just not sure how we get there yet :) So I'm very curious about what other similar groups are doing.

Yes, it's quite tricky and we need to hammer out at least some details (for the entire movement). Right now, the best we can do is monitor closely, set red flags and then hope to get to a consensus.

By the way, there is also some interest in open research data by the EU. I missed the initial consultation, but I am planning to follow the proceeding closely.

I would be happy to be introduced! That said, I of course can't promise much - we need more consensus here before taking any actions.

Great, the meeting is today and I will get in touch with you later to make some introductions.
