+1 for not taking a member-like stance on EDRI, although they do a terrific job in Brussels and our Markus is closely involved - but not as CC DE but rather as the activist he also is.

CC and CC licensing.
To be sure, I actually agree! When I said "it would be useful for CC to
/engage/ in some way with EDRI" I meant /interact/ with them and
possibly collaborate on specific initiatives related with licensing. For
instance, I mentioned the open (government) data domain, where I think
we can cooperate to support government in their open data choices (which
are also political) and related licensing consequences.
In a similar way, we already cooperate with Wikimedia or other groups.
And, at the same time, we interact with national collecting societies or
associations of authors and editors... all these people are relevant
stakeholder in the culture/creativity/copyright domain and we should
somehow interact with them.

So, read my feedback as: "go on talking with them, they are relevant
stakeholder in the creative commons [without capital letters] domain".

This does not mean that CC should be member of EDRI, to be explicit.
Actually I took as granted that this was not going to happen,
considering the current policy of CC in similar situations.

Best,

Federico
