So far we have eight people saying they'll turn up.
Do people have specific ideas or questions that they'd like discussed?
One idea I'd like to discuss at the meeting is starting an Adopt-an-MEP project. (The idea is ripped off from stand.org.uk.)
Each of our 15 MEPs would get individual attention and the work would be spread out enough to fit into most peoples schedules. Some people already have specific MEPs that they are in dialogue with, this won't change, but MEPs who are not being contacted could be assigned to people.
The good arguments and responses could be coordinated on the list. The project will be open to all people but it's easiest to get things started with a face to face discussion (I think).
The EP patents vote is happening on the 1st of September but MEP holidays and annual slow periods mean that we really only have three useful weeks. The next two weeks are among the useful ones, I'd like to see them used as effectively as possible.
That's something I'd like to talk about. Anyone else got issues they'd like to discuss?
ciaran.
