The idea

We want to influence the evaluation of the EU Data Retention Directive and to inform the public about it. The Callshop Meeting is a novel campaign and a possibility to take influence on Europe. Two aspects are are implied:

a) Citizens as lobbyists for their rights
b) Publicity in your town

These goals are achieved by calling members of the European Parliament in public and inviting the press to this event. The call should point out, that also normal citizens are concerned about this topic and that the directive should be abolished. It should be as easy as possible for the participants to call Brussels. They don't have to search the phone numbers or prepare all the information themselves. Moreover it's easier for the people, if they don't have to do the calls alone.

Background knowledge

Our motivation to make a Callshop Meeting was the evaluation of the data retention directive (Directive 2006/24/EC). The evaluation is a good chance to influence the content of the directive. The disclosure of the evaluation report from the European Commission delayed and was published on 18. April 2011. The report presents faults and risk of the data retention. The presented statistics and individual cases don't confirm the necessity of the data retention as showed in the shadow report published by EDRi and AK-Vorrat. Until the end of the year (2011) the European Commission should present a recommendation for changes of the data retention directive. So NOW the time is right to influence the politicians in Europe!

how to start

Team building

It's always hard to start a new campaign, but it's much easier, if you're not alone. So try to find people, who support you. You can for example contact people from the youth organisations of the parties. Another advantage of having support from these organisations is, that it increases the probability, that the members of the parliament want to talk to you. Moreover labour unions, Linux user groups, humanistic groups or hunman rights groups should be interested in this topic.

Contact them and visit them at their meetings to present the idea. These organisations have also a lot of possibilities to further publish the idea and to win participants.

Optional: You can also ask professional organisations, who are affected by data retention, like priests, lawyers or physicians. Their support also points out, that not only parties, but also normalcitizens are concerned about the data retention.

meeting location

Try to meet once a week and search an adequate place for your meetings. Get to know each other and find out, which skills you have and distribute the tasks according to that. Find a way to stay in contact and to communicate (Jabber, mails, Wiki, ...), note each other's telephone numbers.
