Hello everyone, The below may be useful for everyone interested in copyright - a chance to have your say on the European Commission consultation. Thanks and regards, Stevie ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dimitar Parvanov Dimitrov <dimitar.parvanov.dimitrov(a)gmail.com> Date: 21 January 2014 14:51 Subject: [Wikimedia-l] European Commission Copyright Consultation To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> 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: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/European_Commission_copyright_consultation Have fun answering!

Thanks Stevie. As the point of contact on the EU policy team, could you advise as to whether the UK chapter had any input? Fae On 21 January 2014 15:56, Stevie Benton <stevie.benton(a)wikimedia.org.uk> wrote:

There isn't an EU policy team. There is an umbrella group of chapters called the Free Knowledge Advocacy Group EU which will be getting involved in this area increasingly over the coming months. More information about this group is available on Meta - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EU_policy To answer whether the UK chapter has had any input, the answer is that as far as I am aware, nobody from the UK has yet participated in the discussion. Personally speaking, beyond encouraging volunteers to share their views on the Meta page linked in Dimi's email, I have not yet participated. The questions there will be collaboratively answered across the movement, by volunteers and staff. However I will be making some time to contribute before the deadline and I encourage others to do so if they are interested. Stevie On 21 January 2014 16:01, Fæ <faewik(a)gmail.com> wrote:

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. Michael On 21 Jan 2014, at 15:56, Stevie Benton <stevie.benton(a)wikimedia.org.uk> wrote:
