So your thought is that you and maybe a few more should go to Brussels
as representatives of the WG?
What would you say? On behalf of the WG rather than as an individual
that is.
On the other hand you may like to talk to Maria and Patrik about their
efforts to bring Brussels and other government people to WG meetings
and how that worked out
There are two parallel processes in the RIPE community.
I'm very sure that the one most likely to produce the results you seek
are getting a speaking slot at a Roundtable, the next of which happens
to be in Brussels:

There are many structural reasons why the Roundtables are a better
channels for this particular activity[1] than RIPE CoOP-WG meetings, so
I strongly recommend that this subject is put on that agenda, and even
more so that any such agenda is promoted sufficiently ahead of the
meeting that potential attendees can out it in their diaries.
Currently, the attendee list is just three "insiders"... Not to
undervalue the worth of their participation, but with the Xmas season so
close, and event bookings pretty much in suspense until Mid-January
(especially in the absence of a confirmed agenda) it would be good to
see more external attendees registering by now.
[1] The CoOp-WG's strengths lie elsewhere.
