Hi Christoph, hi all,
thanks a lot for the draft! Some comments + ideas in the doc attached, but nothing major. But I think we should be clear in both titel and text that it's a partial success + repeat the demand. But we currently do not have a Comms person, as it's fall holidays here (Axel is back on the 3rd), so more from a campain perspective.
On the embargo: Here, a lot of people, including in companies and journalists are on holidays until and including Tuesday the 2nd, coming back the 3rd. Monday is a general public holiday, and schools/unis/some companies are closed on Tuesday, too.
Therefore Wednesdays is too early to inform them reliably before (which I think is important), I would suggest Thursday 9 or 8am for the embargo. Or in case we want to have a quote from the breweries (e.g. why this is not enough) we could also think about Monday the 8th and prepare more, but it might be a bit late for news.
So Thursday 8am?
I agree it would be good to know the reasons from Carlsberg if possible.
I have a technical question: Will all organisations who opposed get a letter? According to the EPO website, AN was among them, but I am not sure if it was not just one common opposition?
Have a great weekend everyone! (Hopefully with more real beer than work on beer patents!) Dagmar

Dear all
please send a first round of comments till evening today (sorry this is only in German, but English will follow).
I guess we should publish mid of next week, informing WeMove, the brewers, the breeder and maybe selected journalists. But before contacting others we would need a deadline for the embargo.
Maybe Wednesday 9 a.m.?
There also was a question from Judith on the reasons why Carlsberg takes this step - we only can guess (see text of the release)
There was the idea from Dagmar how to go on with our public communication on barley and beer if we loose - I think we should first wait for further reaction from Carlsberg. We should better know their position. Maybe Erling should give them a call?
Cheers
Christoph
