Mirjam and other colleagues,
There is precedent for the RIPE community taking a position on a topic.
For example the RIPE DNS Working Group stated a strong option that the
DNS root be signed, and a letter signed by the chair of RIPE, the
managing director of the RIPE NCC, and the chair of the RIPE DNS working
group was sent to ICANN:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/dnssec-key-repository/ripe-request-icann-sign-dns-root
Also, I believe that the RIPE NCC has hired EU lobbyists in the past, so
in principle the RIPE community or the RIPE NCC members could ask the
RIPE NCC to lobby the EU for a specific purpose (although I am not sure
if that is true).
I am not suggesting that the RIPE community *should* try to influence
laws on browser cookies. But I think that if people want to that RIPE
*could* be a place where it is done.
Cheers,

Dear Arkenoi,
The RIPE community does not make any legislation. With this RIPE Labs
article we inform the community about recent developments at the EU. I
suggest you contact the EU or your local government if you want to
discuss changes to existing laws.
Kind regards,
Mirjam Kühne

If I am interested in discussing ideas to replace stupid "cookies law" which
did not get much better with GDPR, with something more sensible, what is the proper WG
to contact?

Subject: [cooperation-wg] New on RIPE Labs: EU Regulation Update
Dear colleagues,
This is the second in an ongoing series in which we give a brief
overview of the most pertinent policies currently being proposed,
debated and implemented in the European Union. And Internet regulation
is definitely a hot topic:
