[Members] Re: Proposals - programmatic and organizational business

So, in my opinion, should be useful to debate whether lobbying the EU during the DMA discussion could have been a good point for the XFS to achieve its goals. The same goes for the implementation of DMA in the real world e.g. as part of the protocol (interoperability XEP). These are only two examples of what could have been done and what XSF could do in the future. XSF representatives participated in some of the Commission's initiatives, but I don't think they were able to lobby. Recalling what I wrote in my previous email, lobbying is only possible once you have decided on a program because when you are dealing with institutions and private actors, you have to make explicit what the program of the organization you represent is. The DMA is not the only aspect; many others exist, especially in Europe. Lobbying in Europe is legal but needs registration in an ad hoc register, but this does not mean that this is the decisive element.
