The Council of Europe Secretary General is developing a Second
Additional Protocol to the Cybercrime Convention, and I've been
requested to circulate this letter to other civil society
organizations who may be interested in endorsing a letter asking for
meaningful civil society participation in this process. It is no
longer open to new edits, sorry, and the deadline for signatures is
23 March.<br>

<div class="">Dear all,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">European Digital Rights (EDRi) and the
Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) have drafted a
sign-on letter to the Council of Europe Secretary
General asking for meaningful civil society
participation in the development of the Cybercrime
Convention’s Second Additional Protocol. The protocol
is currently being discussed at the Cybercrime
Convention Committee (T-CY), a committee that
represents the State Parties to the Budapest
Convention on Cybercrime and other observer states.</div>

<div class="">For those who are not familiar with this
process, the Council’s Cybercrime Convention
Committee (T-CY) has initiated a global process to
draft a second additional protocol to the
Convention—a new text which deals with cross-border
access to data, including ways to improve MLATs
according to their Terms of Reference[1]. The work
on the Second Protocol to the Cybercrime Convention
is ongoing, without sufficient transparency nor
meaningful civil society participation.</div>

about the second additional protocol to the
cybercrime convention:</div>
