A big thanks to the ACLU for sending it out, to Kevin for lending his email address as the sender, and to all who contributed to this effort.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Those who are listed as contacts on the email-- Anja, Anriette, Gene, Joana, Jeremy, Katherine, and Kevin-- should keep an eye out for follow up from staffers.</div><div><br></div><div>We haven't discussed a press strategy, but can I suggest that those of us who are blogging about this (Access have a post up soon) share their posts with the list and that we come up with some hashtags to use to raise awareness? I think the Web Foundation was putting a list of commonly used ones together, and it might make sense to use one specifically for this letter. Thoughts?</div>
