[Advocacy Advisors] Letter on digital security

Wed May 20 16:39:10 UTC 2015

Hi Jürgen,

I noticed that the Internet Archive is another nonprofit organization
listed as a "company" in the letter, so we are not alone. I like the
analogy that Yana used to online public parks. When people have discussions
about digital policy matters, I hope to see more public spaces like us in
the future.
