La Quadrature du Net, Version 2.0



*** Paris, 10 January 2014 — After almost six years as spokesperson and
coordinator of La Quadrature du Net, Jérémie Zimmermann's role will change
at the end of January. He will continue to act as part of our Strategic
Directions Council[1], but will leave his position as coordinator and
spokesperson. We thank him for his superhuman efforts, which were rewarded
in 2012 by the Electronic Frontier's Pioneer Award [2], and are happy for
him that he will regain time to develop his personal activities. This
collective and considered decision was taken in the context of the
consolidation of our structure, following our registration as a French
association [3] one year ago. Here is how La Quadrature du Net will
reorganise itself. ***

Due to your continued support La Quadrature du Net's team has grown over
the last year to include seven paid staff in the operational team
(including three interns) – without counting Jérémie – and six active
members [4] in the Strategic Directions Council (which will increase in
size in the coming months). Moreover, numerous volunteers are heavily
involved in our activities, which allows La Quadrature to function on a
daily basis. The change in Jérémie's position will accelerate the
establishment of the new organisational structure.

Firstly, La Quadrature is hiring a Campaign Manager [5]. Their role will be
to communicate with decision makers, parliamentarians, other citizen
organisations and the wider public on La Quadrature's projects, and to
coordinate volunteers involved in these actions. It requires a particular
kind of engagement and work style, and Jérémie was until now in the front
line of all this, especially on the European level.

Secondly, the management of La Quadrature's public voice, including its
interaction with the media, for which Jérémie was solely responsible until
now, will become more inclusive. Initiated six months ago, this change is
the occasion to make use of the different approaches, styles and points of
view represented in our organisation. This shift towards a more collective
work dynamic in La Quadrature du Net will ensure our ability to react
quickly and in-depth to events and requests, from journalists, politicians,
associations or citizens. It is also represent a development opportunity
for everyone in our enlarged team.

You can count on us to do the utmost to ensure that this reorganisation
makes La Quadrature du Net more efficient in its defence of Internet
freedom and its promotion of citizens' ability to act in the digital
sphere. And if you have the slightest concern, remember that Jérémie will
be right there in the Strategic Directions Council, ready to spur us on. <3
