The "FINAL" CONFU Meeting, (program agenda) took place on Monday, May 18, 1998, at the Library of Congress, Madison Building, Mumford Room, 6th Floor. A summary report, FINAL REPORT TO THE COMMISSIONER ON THE CONCLUSION OF THE CONFERENCE ON FAIR USE, November 1998, has been published and may be viewed online or downloaded from http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/dcom/olia/confu/confurep.htm.
This was preceded by THE CONFERENCE ON FAIR USE: REPORT TO THE COMMISSIONER ON THE CONCLUSION OF THE FIRST PHASE OF THE CONFERENCE ON FAIR USE, SEPTEMBER 1997.
Paper copies of these reports may be obtained by sending or faxing a written request to:
The CONFU Documents Page: The guidelines, the endorsement process, endorsement tallies, and related reports related to the Conference on Fair Use (CONFU)
Following the May 19, 1997, agreement not to agree on the endorsement of the CONFU proposed guidelines, participants offer speculation about what's to follow:

Guidelines and policies

Public Domain Art in an Age of Easier Mechanical Reproducibility, by Kenneth Hamma -- argues "that making visual reproductions of public domain art works available for use and reuse without charge would likely benefit the collecting institutions and would contribute to the public good."
Copyright Term and the Public Domain in the United States, by Peter Hirtle -- "begun as an expanded version of Lolly Gasaway's copyright chart, but with the primary focus on unpublished works. In this new version, the section on unpublished works has been updated to reflect copyright status as of 1 January 2004. A new section on the U.S. copyright status of works published outside of the U.S. has also been added. In order to facilitate printing, a PDF version of the file is available as well, and several new alternative copyright charts are listed in footnote 1."
The Public Domain: How to Find Copyright-Free Writings, Music, Art & More, by Stephen Fishman (560 pages, 2000)
Center for the Public Domain -- a non-profit foundation that supported the growth of a healthy and robust public domain by establishing programs, grants, and partnerships in the areas of academic research, medicine, law, education, media, technology, and the arts. This organization is no longer in business.

Eldred v. Ashcroft -- an interesting case involving public domain works and retroactive extenstion of the term of copyright by way of the recently enacted Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, Pub. L. No. 105-298, 112 Stat. 2827 ("CTEA"), amending 17 U.S.C. 304(b)]. More at Openlaw. Among the many 'friends of the court' legal filings opposing the the term extension act is: College Art Association, Visual Resources Association, National Humanities Alliance, Consortium of College and University Media Centers and National Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage, prepared by Jeffrey P. Cunard, Bruce P. Keller, Christopher J. Robinson, and Rebecca Tushnet. See more at http://eon.law.harvard.edu/openlaw/eldredvashcroft/legal.html#amici The transcript of the October 9, 2002, oral arguments before the Supreme Court is available as a PDF file at http://www.supremecourtus.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/01-618.pdf
