I've made a web page about the IPRED2 proposal from the Commission: http://fsfeurope.org/projects/ipred2/ipred2.en.html
And there's a public mailing list for discussion of this: https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/ipred2
The current status is that the proposal has just been released by the Commission. The next thing to happen is the rapporteur has to be chosen, this will happen in October. There are no estimates yet for when it will go to first reading.
Info about why this is a problem is on the above webpage.
