Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.
Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.
Register facts self-declared (snapshot 2 Sept 2026); cost bands are floors. Shared files are shared attention, not evidence of coordination.
What each said, in their own words

>>Challenges: GISAD welcomes the initiative to promote repair and reuse. An EU D-S to preserve democracy in the digital society must provide access for every citizen. However, many citizens do not have the financial means or still use an old, non-Internet enabled mobile phone only to make phone calls. This GISAD statement only refers to devices that are suitable for communicating via the internet.

The Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives, and it is important that this technology empowers rather than restricts us. Free Software (also known as Open Source) gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share software.
Challenges: In the various European countries there is a different speed of enforcement of eGovernment. These dif-ferences are related to general security concerns in digitalisation. Many citizens do not have so often to contact authorities for that digitalisation of public infrastructure can offer them a real advantage.
To ensure the interoperability of public services in the EU it is key to strengthen open standards and Free Software. Citizens demand more and more open, efficient, borderless, interoperable solutions. Also they ask for user-friendly, personalized solutions being trustworthy, (E2EE) secure and respecting fundamental rights, like the right to privacy.
