So,
I will make the first pitch and suggest the following list, based on everything I have read so far:
*Fundamental goals:* Shorten (or prevent extension) of copyright terms Raising treshhold for required added creativity Standardised limitations and exceptions Opt-in copyright system (like patent law)
*Issue-oreiented goals:* Government Works (We need to discuss the relationship between government works/publicly funded works and what we want to go for.) Freedom of Panorama Orphan Works Open Access/Open Educational Resources (in OA we want freely licensed content, therefore I am grouping these two together)
As we're talking about a possible policy statement calling for a copyright reform, I am strictly excluding all issues like censorship and FoI (important, but not copyright).
Now, disucss! :)

In a third step we will need to think really hard about what to prioritise and what could be dropped from the list, since the most valuable resource is attention and focus. We can't go ahead with a 20 point list, at least not as part of a general policy statement.
I think the prioritization you guys have already done for your EU work makes sense as a starting point. I don't want to replicate or throw out that work. We'll inevitably have to adapt somewhat based on opportunity, but that's probably the right place to at least start the discussion.
