[bestbits] PCLOB deadline extended to September 15th

[Emma Llanso]

Hi all,

At the last minute, the US Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board 
has extended their deadline 
<http://www.regulations.gov/#%21documentDetail;D=PCLOB-2013-0005-0031> 
for public comment until *September 15th*. This means that I'm going to 
hold off on submitting the joint letter <http://bestbits.net/pclob/> 
that many of you have signed on to -- the extended deadline gives us a 
lot more time to solicit signatories for the letter, prepare a media 
strategy, and encourage organizations to submit their own comments into 
the proceeding.

I continue to think this comment process represents one of the best 
opportunities for groups and advocates outside the US to make their 
opinions heard to the US government on the NSA surveillance programs. 
Thanks again to all of you who've taken the time to engage on this joint 
letter, and I hope the extended deadline will give more of you the time 
to consider commenting!

Best,
Emma
