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.
