Hi,
A little reminder:
Dimitar from Wikimedia is planning to hand in this document on Wednesday. If your affiliate team wants to sign it, please get in touch with him directly (in cc)
The Wikimedians figure that it is important to welcome the new Commissioners with something concrete that can open up a conversation. They're planning to release a position paper on copyright reform under the label "Free Knowledge Advocacy Group EU" and are asking also other organisations to co-sign it.The Advocacy Group is so far meant for WM chapters only, but everyone in the CC Europe world is invited to co-sign.
CC as a whole will not co-sign due to the quite controversial nature of single copyright title for all of Europe (see in the paper, link below) on which there is no clear stance yet policywise. But from the regional/HQ point of view you are free to nevertheless sign as CC affiliate for your country, because we very much value in our affiliates independent opinions.
Here's the draft position paper text, contribute a.s.a.p.
Best and thanks!
Gwen & John
