Best Wishes and all of that stuff even if the year end is odd. On Dec 22, 2010 in Blog. I am only a couple of hours away from driving merrily to the ski slopes and suddenly thought about wishing all of you a Merry “whatever it is you’re partying about at the end of the year”!

Posts made in October, 2010. So what is your BIG IDEA? On Oct 27, 2010 in Blog. Before summer break, Commissioner Neelie Kroes in charge of the Digital Agenda challenged industry and more generally all stakeholders to let her know. What their BIG IDEA was to further the European Digital Agenda. Basically, it was up to industry, citizens, NGOs to tell her how they could deliver on such goals as high speed broadband for all or eInclusion. The reward for being a BIP (Big Idea Promoter)? Let’s be hones...

Posts made in September, 2010. Je blogue, tu blogues, il blogue, etc. On Sep 26, 2010 in Blog. Bon, il parait que pour la journée internationale. De je ne sais plus quoi (la crevette grise de Zélande? Tout ça, c’est un peu difficile à dépatouiller, au niveau du vécu! Surtout que je vis dans un pays où l’utilisation de la langue (le langage, s’entend: ne vous imaginez pas des trucs trop affolants) est un truc vachement important. On ne plaisante pas avec des choses qui peuvent fâcher! It took me longer th...

NATO diplomats could make the twitter leap (with a push by @AlecJRoss). On Mar 2, 2011 in Blog. I had the immense surprise of being invited to a dinner organised tonight by the US Ambassador to NATO, Ivo Daalder, with Alec Ross, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Innovation senior Advisor. Admit there’s worse places to have dinner! Though the purpose was to talk about social media and foreign policy, digital diplomacy and democracy, we were warned that the dinner was under Chatham House Rules. At a ...

Posts made in October, 2013. When lobbying meetings range from the obnoxious to the cute. On Oct 18, 2013 in Blog. This best represents how I feel every week. Over 2 years of not blogging. No time, no inspiration, no….I don’t know. I guess sometimes being in the EU bubble and talking about it induces too much claustrophobia to be enjoyable. But this week, my usual cynical self had a range of meetings that I just briefly wanted to share, as they thinly cracked my defensive varnish layer of indifference.

So what was the whole #digitalep thing like? On Nov 19, 2010 in Blog. Stephen Clarke and myself looking our usual serious selves. I had the pleasure of being invited to participate in a panel at the Centre. Edelman, in relation to the launch of their new study “The 2010 Capital Staffers Index. I must admit that the results were not entirely surprising, except maybe for the continued attachment by French MPs to handwritten letters….I mean come one: is that a paper or a pen lobby going on? It was a good ev...

The EU Legislative process has many steps, some of which occur a long time before any proposal of legislation emerges on the public scene, and some of which happen in parallel to the official steps taken by each legislative instrument.
