Hi Nemo, Well, as I said it is an experiment and we can't be sure someting coherent will come out of it. Therefore, in a true "liquid lobbying" fashion, we're running a two-tiered strategy.
On the one hand, individual Wikimedians and EU chapters participating in the Free Knowledge Advocacy Group EU [1] have worked together to draft an "answering guide" for the consultation. Each chapter, individual or other organisation is free to use these answers in whole or in parts to produce their own submission. On the other hand we have put the entire thing on Meta. [3] If the movement manages to come up with decent answers, then again everyone will be free to use the answers in whole or in parts. So, we're making two efforts, one in a thematic group of Wikimedians with a lot of direct communication and another one straight away on meta. The advantage is that we will be able to compare the results, the strengths and weaknesses of each process. We also have a back-up to rely upon should either attempt fail to produce meaningful answers. About the 2009 Green Paper - it looks like a great effort was made. Feel free to work some of the points into the current consultaiton, if they should fit ;) Dimi [1]https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EU_policy [2]http://youcan.fixcopyright.eu/en/full/?guide=wikimedia [3]https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EU_policy 2014/1/21 Federico Leva (Nemo) <[email protected]> > Dimitar Parvanov Dimitrov, 21/01/2014 15:51: > > 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. >> > > Yep, it's a big effort.
