[d at DCC] Active forums on Copyright during consultations? Any archived?

[Russell McOrmond]

   Copying this to the public Canada-wide forum at 
http://list.digital-copyright.ca/mailman/listinfo/discuss as well as the 
Vancouver list at 
http://lists.faircopy.ca/listinfo.cgi/discuss-faircopy.ca , as well as a 
few people in the Bcc.


   I've been asked, and I didn't know.  What forums have been active during 
the consultation?  I'm host for digital-copyright.ca and it has been 
fairly quiet compared to what we saw in 2001/2002.  I joined the Vancouver 
list, and it has been more active.


   Have all the discussions happened on social media sites like Facebook, 
or as comments under Nik's slashdot-style forums at 
http://copyright.econsultation.ca/topics-sujets/show-montrer/6 through 
http://copyright.econsultation.ca/topics-sujets/show-montrer/10 ?


   I'm wondering how much of the discussion will be available to researches 
after next Sunday.  I fully expect Nik's site to close in upcoming months, 
and Facebook and other social media services are not as open as we really 
need.

   While we have only until next Sunday to make our ideas known as part of 
this consultation, this is by far not the end of the process but only the 
next step.  There will be analysis done on the participation by various 
people, and I suspect that there will be many summaries that suggest quite 
different things where ongoing public access to the source material will 
be critical.
