Interesting, I’d missed that the fact that a new consultation was started last
week.
We certainly should respond to this, and it would be great if you’re able to
draft some notes.

Hi all,
The government is currently consulting on reducing the copyright term
in some unpublished material - this is the "2039 problem" that a
number of institutions have been raising in recent weeks, where
unpublished works can be in copyright until 2039 despite being
potentially several centuries old.

This seems like something where WMUK should submit a response (we have
a pretty clear interest in rationalising the regulations here).
Deadline is a month away so we've got some time to think about it.
I'm happy to draft up some notes for us to send in if no-one else is
putting something together - have we been looking at this already?
Andrew.
