Hi John,

I have been trying to wrap my head around this as well. From a European
perspective I expect the US trade policy to drastically change, so that's
one thing. TTIP seems highly unlikely now.

Weren't the republicans somewhat moreopen to copyright changes in general?
Anyhow, I am in DC for OpenCon and would be greet to perhaps meet-up and
discuss. John & Julia from WMDE are also in town and I know other
Wikimedians will also be coming.

Cheers,
Dimi
