Hi All,
Probably too late to put out an email to everyone who might be interested.
Glynn Moody has another good article up regarding the upcoming ACTA proposals. The European Parliament Committee for Legal Affairs (JURI) looks likely to submit a positive recommendation for ACTA.
The vote is tomorrow.
Glynn has listed a series of MEPs on the committee along with email addresses and is recommending people pass on their views - he's also shown a copy of what he has sent.
If anyone has the time and inclination, the article and further details here: http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2012/04/acta-update-xiv/ind...
Glynn is the same person who recently brought the Open Standards Consultation to my attention a week or so ago.
Thanks
Craig

I'd suggest focusing on any of the MEPs which represent you and introduce yourself as a constituent. Check for the UK on http://www.europarl.org.uk/view/en/your_MEPs/List-MEPs-by-region.html but if you're in North West England, oh dear. ;-)
If you have a Lib Dem MEP, suggest they ask Alex Macfie or Daniel Lewis of the Association of Lib-Dem Co-operators (ALDCo.org.uk) for advice. I've not checked but I'd hope they'll take a dim view of ACTA as both are experienced online activists.
Anyway: sent mine. How about you?
Hope that helps,
