to push my additional commentary on the participants in the list.<br>

i disagree with this. it is better with temporary affiliations
around stuff that people feel is important. uhm. except i really,
really think that there should be a task force or temporary
affiliation around writing a response for the data protection
directive consultation since this is likely one of the most
important events that is likely to come up in the next few years. if
you want to play a bureaucratic game, please care about the
bureaucracy. this is not difficult. the deadline is january 12th as
i believe i have told a number of people for a few months.<br>

this i do agree with. if we could figure out what we want out
of/with our engagement in european union politics we need to
coordinate that. i don't think that non-european parties need to
care about that, however. it's good for europeans to have informed
views on fta:s and is probably good to get external information for
that (also i would please like to sort out this entire northern
african telecommunications situation - i want to know what france
telecom owns and what it doesn't own, also i once met this
palestinian lawyer who talked a lot about "secondary" blocking of
information for occupied areas, ref sahara occidental and
gaza/westbank, and how eu support or non-trade snactins against
countries who engage in that behaviour might be contrary to some e
trade agreement provisions that they have with the blockers).<br>

this is also true. it is a serious bitch to keep in touch with x
number of different actors, and if anyone wants media etc on for
example european issues it really really helps if european parties
have a joint contact person. i guess this will be rick falkvinge now
that he is moving on the european coordination, so perhaps we can
rally behind him. also, i guess, lobby him for your national
peculiarities :-)<br>

Personally, if no party objects, i'd like to see one PPI conference location
per continent.
And all sites having beamers with the other sites onscreen.

Hmm, this turned into slightly more of an essay than I was planning but
never mind - just a few thoughts on the matters. Finally, I hope
everyone had a good new year.
