> Hello advocacy advisory group,
>
> Here is a thought: let's collaboratively draft a public response on wiki. We
> can use the resulting page as the Wikimedia Foundation's submission to the
> consultation, or as a reference point for other interested groups. To get
> started, Dashiell posted the EC's questions on Meta, here:
> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/European_Commission_copyright_consultation
>
> The submission deadline is February 5, 2014, so if we intend to respond, we
> should start finalizing our submission on January 27, 2014. The process here
> is experimental, so feel free to discuss process on the list or the
> corresponding talk page.
>
> This may be an important opportunity for us to influence the future of
> copyright law (and free knowledge), so I am interested in hearing your
> perspective.
>
> Best,
> Stephen
