Thanks for the reminder, Stevie. I will be putting up responses to the various questions soon. 

The procedure whereby the comments get consolidated (if they do) isn’t clear at the moment, but since there seems rather little disagreement so far, that may not matter. Perhaps the comments can just go in as they are posted.

WMUK has not so far taken a formal position on the questions, although a few UK community members have already lodged personal responses. Before we can make a decision, we will need to know what the final version looks like.  Alternatively, WMYUK could file a separate response on its own initiative.  I could prepare a draft if that would be useful, based on the answers I intend to file anyway.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick reminder that we have 6 more days to collaboratively draft
answers to the European Commission's copyright consultation.

The idea is to give the global, online community a chance to come up with
answers that, if coherent enough, can then be officially given to the
Commission.

We see this as a social experiment, since no one until now has ever
attempted to answer collaboratively and publicly such short-termed and
in-depth consultations.

The corresponding link is:

Have fun answering!

Dimi
