Dear CC Europeans,

**** !! action items further down !! ****

you're probably all aware of the EU Consultation on Copyright Reform (PDF), some of you maybe already replied to it. We would like to also send in a reply of CC Europe as the regional group. But, as it is 80 (!) questions altogether and the deadline was unfortunately not extended beyond Feb 5th, this is quite an endeavour.

First up, there's a helpful site set up by the C4C Initiative, OKFN, Wikimedia and others to help individuals and organizations to write their reply:

http://okfde.github.io/eucopyright/

Out of that + a Wikimedia spreadsheet I compiled a spreadsheet for collecing our anwers internally before entering them into the github form above, see here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Atm4E4h0viXMdGRjZVVQNjhGeVo3dWVVX0w4dkEwd1E&usp=sharing

As you can see, everything is [t.b.d.] (the priorities being the only content taken from the Wikimedia spreadsheet). Now we need people ...

- to curate/care for parts of the questionnaire and

- to also write initial answers for their part to then discuss.

Are there any volunteers, and if so, for what part of the questionnaire (questions X - Y)? Answers very much appreciated :)

Have a good new year's eve!

John & Gwen
