[pp.int.general] Digital Civil Rights in Europe (EDRI)

[HerNenya]

IMHO, people from ONGs respond much better to specific projects than 
some vague relationships just because great mutual affinities and 
understanding. At least it works here like this.

They see us as politicians and since the great amount of cases of 
corruption are constantly arising they feel wary to stay in touch with 
us without a concrete purpose.
