HI,

about the Transparency Register - you can indeed submit answers without being registered. Of course, having a registration is advisable in the long run if one plans to do more things with the EU, but it is not (yet) compulsory.

My understanding is that it is optional, but yes, I believe we're considering it.

Hi Luis

Just a reminder. You do know, I expect, that before filing a submission you are expected by the Commission to register the Foundation with the EU Transparency Register?  You are not registered yet.


Best regards

Michael

I've spent a good chunk of the day reading through the first 31 questions; the comments on meta about those questions, and the responses proposed by Dimi and others at http://youcan.fixcopyright.eu/en/full/?guide=wikimedia

All the comments essentially agree, with only some small variations. Since we don't have any serious splits of opinion, I think the idea of a combined answer that represents this as the opinion of the Foundation makes sense. (Not clear to what extent we should also represent this as the opinion of Wikimedians - opinions welcome on that.)

With that goal in mind, I've drafted proposed answers to each question, which incorporate comments from (among others) Seb35, Deryck C., Sapfan, NaBUru38, Aktron, and Kaldari.

I think the best place to discuss individual answers is in the talk pages, so I'll start uploading those shortly. I've also more-or-less copied this email into https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:European_Commission_copyright_consultation#Goals_and_next_steps if people prefer to discuss there.
