[Advocacy Advisors] [Wikimediauk-l] EU copyright consultation deadline has beenextended

[Luis Villa]

Hi, Aktron-

First, thanks for all your contributions on-wiki! Much appreciated - hope
you like my answers (all of which are up now for people to
review/discuss/use for their own answers).

About the other groups - do you think the community should be doing more to
get Wikimedians to submit answers? I'm open to the idea, but not sure how
best to make that happen (or even if it is a good idea- Dimi?)

Luis
