That's a use case; I'm not so keen on anything nonpartisan, but them's the rules. I'm more of a nonspecific partisan, or a partisan who doesn't have a party yet. > Would be interested in what other uses for such a phone bank we could > use. > > Another idea - distributed, phone based campaignsy Citizens Advice > Bureaux.

Another one: after a G20-like event, volunteers take statements from those affected and log them in a database. Lobbying; alert the mob, passing talking points with the alert, and melt the Commons switchboard. Registration: call this number to join now! and we'll put you in touch with someone from your nearest organising team. Location- or criterion-based voice messaging; distribute a message to activists interested in a given subject or in a given area. (They could self- initiate, too - call in to message your local group or your specific interest group). There are quite a lot of things you can do with an instant, extensible, contextual call centre.
