I added on the wiki page for postal codes a piece of letter I sent to
Natural Resources Canada (they do the Canada Atlas and if someone has
postal codes, it should be their business). I ask for the list of
postal codes and corresponding coordinates and ridings based on the
information act (I know, it's stupid)

just on the postal code thing, I propose we do 3 things:
1. agree on a text of a letter, see here for an editable draft:
http://civicaccess.ca/wiki/PostalCodes
NOTE: i think it needs a bit of context, ie why do we want this data
now?
2. make a list of groups who we:
a) can ask to support this letter (ie individual & institutional co-
signers)
b) can target to send this letter (ie government reps, newspapers etc)
3. make a web presence or online petition (any thoughts on this?) ...
either on the civic access page or elsewhere?
Looks good. except I don't think we need to do 3 on a wiki page cuz
we'll end up adding 70-100 groups. We can each go off and find
support from our networks and then compile a list of groups who have
agreed to back it. If there's any missing networks of groups, we fill
in then.
Also, we'll need it translated if you want it to be a national thing.
The letter is a great start! I'll see if I can contribute anything
tomorrow. Tracey is also pretty great at those kinds of things. We
can definitely get her to go over it. :-)
OnlineRights Canada can whip up a petition for us. But I think they
should clearly identify it as a CivicAccess push.

Once the letter is finished, we can contact them and ask them to make
a campaign for this? Hows that sound?
