HI Michael,
2014-01-27 Michael Maggs <Michael(a)maggs.name>
It’s not clear to me what will be done with the
answers proposed so far at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/European_Commission_copyright_consultation
Will they be submitted as they are, or is someone proposing to merge them
into a single version (even though many answers have been signed)?
Also unclear unless I have missed something is who will the answers be
submitted by, and on whose behalf? Only individuals - and not the
Foundation nor chapters - have formally posted answers so far, so is the
intention that the answers will be submitted by and on behalf of those
individuals only?
We will try our best to merge the many different answers into a coherent
set. If this works, the WMF,chapters and individuals will be free to decide
whether they wish to submit these answers in their own name.
If the intention is that a formal response will be
submitted on behalf of
the unincorporated group *Free Knowledge Advocacy Group EU*, then it
would be sensible for that group to register with the
EU Transparency Register, here:
Inded,the intention for this was to have a more formal response (and sfety
net, as we couldn't have been sure how well the experiment on Meta-Wiki
will work). In this case again, each chapter and individual is free to use
the answering set. As far as the Transparency register is concerned, we
cannot list the Free Knowledge Advocacy Group EU, since it is not a legal
entity. We do, however, have three chapters that are on this register -
WMDE, WMIT and WMMK. It is up to each and every chapter to do this step.
Alternatively we can talk about actually founding the FKAGEU, but that is a
conversation that need to be led in a differnt setting.

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:

Have fun answering!
Dimi
