Dear all,

thanks for these questions, I will try to answer some of them and I guess there will be further comments. There also might be some conclusion in the minutes of our zoom meetings. I guess Johanna will know.

My understanding is that the petition is directed to the national governments and in most cases will target the responsible ministers. However, the minister might not always be the best choice. Thus, we also can address the governments in more  general. For example in Germany, I think we should wait on the new government to be in power before we take final decision whom to address.

we should know how many signatures were collected for each country, in some cases this might be helpful. This does not mean we already took a decision how we will communicate these figures.

As soon as we start to handover (maybe Austria will be the first) we will discuss how to communicate. We also can organise handover at the Admin Councils for a overall final activity (since these burocrates have to represent their countries).

So for the moment, it seems to be possible for each organisation to take a choice how address its government. Within one country,  the signatures can be collected jointly or individually (by each organisation), but all organisations from one country should take a joint decision whom to address and how. For me, Switzerland is showing us already the way how we can organise.

hope this helps to go on with the decision making.

Cheers

Christoph

Dear All

 

We just discussed the petition among the swiss members of NPOS.

And we have following questions (maybe they have already been answered, but we are not aware of)

 

 

Thanks a lot for some clarification in this regard.

 

François – for the swiss members.

Dear all,

 

FYI: AbL will join our petition as well already on 25 Nov. They will have the info on their website and include a link to the NPOS petition.

They might check if they can have their own online form to sign on the website, but this may not be necessary.

 

Best,

Johanna
