Lets first get the consultation input into Jordan, then lets read the  
updated draft, then comment again if that is requested, then wait for  
the final draft for version 1. We can then decide as a community if we  
are happy to proceed (which I think we will). If there is a big  
problem then I suspect that a version 1.1 could be turned round  
quickly to address it.

So....

Rather than distracting us with discussion of space lasers possibly  
you could help us by commenting on some of the open issues.

I would like you opinion on a few particular ones:
1) What is a substantial extract?
2) What happens in places where there is no database directive?
3) What is the Boundary between a Database and a Produced Work
4) Approval from large donated datasets
5) Which features can be retained in the license change?
6) How can one control what is done with a Produced Work that has been  
released under Public Domain?

These issues and others can be found here:
