Hi Stephen,
we had the thing already posted in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Copyright_reform, but I really don't mind using the general Advocacy meta-page for that. I will just put a notice on the Copyright Reform talk page.
And, yes, everyone, please don't be shy to comment! Looking forward to interesting debates. Two things I'd like to talk about already: -Should we concentrate on government created works or on government funded works or on publicly funded works? -Is it enough to talk about opt-in copyright or do we need to also specifically mention oprhan works?
I will post both questions on meta.

Hello Dimi and Bea,
I agree, this is great start for a conversation. I posted the list to a talk page on Meta, so we can keep track of your suggestions: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Advocacy
Feel free to add to the list, discuss, or re-organize.
Stephen

Great Summary!! I'd rather say: Fundamental goal:
- Strengthen the public domain.
For that we need:
Shorten (or prevent extension) of copyright terms Raising treshhold for required added creativity Standardised limitations and exceptions Opt-in copyright system (like patent law)
And I would like to add something related to Orphan works. Opt-in system if good for that, but we also need a clear policy for them.
Regards, Bea
