[EU-lobby-data] agenda for our conference call tomorrow (Wednesday 26 September 15 o'clock)

Tue Sep 25 13:51:13 UTC 2012

Thanks for this document - this is a really useful timeline for us to
work on this project and I think its realistic that we will get it
done.

I'm looking forward to the call tomorrow! Gregor, who will be working
on the crowdsourcing aspect, will also be in Berlin and I will try to
get him into the call so that he can get a sense of the larger
context.

- Friedrich
