Yup, send a copy of this diary to Piebalgs and Wallström. Piebalgs because this is being done in his name. Wallström because she's in charge of the EU's communication strategy.

Re: EU Energy Green Paper Consultation (none / 0)
I'm not entirely sure that this diary is the most constructive thing we could send them! While it's a great diary the tone is guaranteed to get them on the defensive immediately, which seldom achieves anything.

Re: EU Energy Green Paper Consultation (none / 0)
I note that no member of the Commissioner's cabinet has public consultation among their responsibilities ...

Re: EU Energy Green Paper Consultation (none / 0)
Ah, so whose responsibility is it?

The public consultations are devastating for the EU's communication policy, really, so Wallstrom should care.

You're right, a different text accompanying the pictures is necessary.

Re: EU Energy Green Paper Consultation (none / 0)
I would not change it very change. Take out the abbrasive but leave the angry. They should notice that we are angry. Add maybe the policy statement that we wrote down to identify us.

This is all the hop we have.. the pople that worry about this stuff on this sid eof the ideology are angry.

Re: EU Energy Green Paper Consultation (none / 0)
I would suggest that someone draft a suitable letter to the Commissioner, e-mail it him, cc'ed to Wallstrom and perhaps Mr. Bonifacio Garcia Porras and the Deputy and Head of his cabinet, with a copy faxed to one of the above. Then a phone-call tomorrow to follow up.

Re: EU Energy Green Paper Consultation (none / 0)
In my (limited) experience it is unlikely that e-mails will actually get through to them: I've tried and they have ended up in spam boxes. Phone follow-up seems to be required, at least with the one MEP I've dealt with.

There is PDF and printers, and postage stamps.

Re: EU Energy Green Paper Consultation (none / 0)
That's possible too. Fax just seemed more likely!

Re: EU Energy Green Paper Consultation (none / 1)
This is a diary meant to inform and spark discussion here on ET -- leading us to take up a position on this Consultation procedure which we could then express in a text we could send to Piebalgs and Wallström.

I don't think the diary itself is appropriate for this purpose, and I'd rather it were not used in this way.

But thanks for the endorsement, kcurie ;)

Re: EU Energy Green Paper Consultation (none / 0)
You are right on the abbrasive part.. the part where you make fun of them.. but the angry part.. I think it should remain if we make the movement to send something similar (which I would).
