The Office will use this information to analyze the current state of the law, identify unresolved issues, and evaluate potential areas for congressional action.

Please feel welcome to share this with your networks, as my friend who works for the copyright office says they want as much feedback as they can get. I do not think you have to be a US citizen to participate.
Very best wishes Heather Froehlich
