Hi Luis,
About the mid-term reports on all four work groups, I can tell you more on Friday, as they're beeing presented tomorrow.
About the withdrawals from the text and data mining work group, there is a short Communia article on it [1] and the letter sent to the European Commission is also published [2].
Furthermore, I am in touch with somebody from Open Forum Europe [3], who has been participating in this work group. If you have any questions I'd be happy to ask for you or even just make the connection.

Hi, Dimitar- I'd be curious to hear more about this. Any pointers or links? Thanks!
