Re: Phase 2: Petition against a Tony Blair preside (4.00 / 6)

We must also discuss what kind of dissemination strategy we adopt. Should we send it to "friendly" organisations? Should we organise an e-mailing using the ET e-mail address? I think we should wait to have gathered enough signatures before sending it to members of institutions like MEPs except if we know theme personally.

We need some people who are able to answer the press for questions, especially if we plan to do press releases after enough signatures - should we ?

Viral marketings through blog comments and forum participation could be useful too.

Also, not only do we need a server, but also a domain name, which is an important choice. NoToTonyBlair.eu ?

It'd be nice to specifically be able to contact the Brussels correspondents who are likely the ones following the EU presidency bid.

I agree with you about the domain name. We should secure it quickly.

NoToTonyBlair.eu (none / 1)

Yes, good choice for a domain name. A whois search shows it's free. Jerome, are you Ok to register it?

You're clearly a dangerous pinko commie pragmatist.

StopBlair.eu (4.00 / 2)

I think StopBlair.eu is also good, and shorter, and it's currently free as well.

Re: Phase 2: Petition against a Tony Blair preside (4.00 / 4)

Domain: stopblair.eu would be short and multilingual.

we should personalise this issue the least. the point is not his character, but his actions.

he always sold himself as a person, not as a politician.
