List of European Policy Consultants

Context: an attempt to create a meshwork of open/free, participatory/p2p, Commons-informed policy experts that can intervene in European policy debates.

What I aim to do here is to match sympathetic politicians and policy makers, with policy advisers.

Politicians

"we have a very good Green MP in Finland called Jyrki Kasvi. I believe internationally his main feat would be to be the famous politician whose homepage is available in Finnish, English and Klingon, http://kasvi.org/index.php?kli ...but in real politics he is for all the right things ranging from Software Patent issues to being an active Facebook user." (Henrik Ingo)

Also one of the best MEP's in this regards is from Finland, Pia-Noora Kauppi (http://www.kauppi.net/fin/Yhteystiedot.10.html) and she seems to have become rather influential within these issues the conservative euro-party, after being very prominently for "the right things" in the Software Patent case, as well as some other IPR and Open Source related cases."
