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
