Be especially sure to select your home country's permanent representation in the Committee, but selecting everyone the website proposes is a very good idea (and done by default).

Raise your voices and flood their inbox, this might be the last chance we ever get

Yeah that seems like something that can't be put into a law. Well normally.

Laws are often purposefully vague to account for loopholes and changing circumstances/public attitudes though. It's the task of courts to define the exact boundaries – and since jury trials aren't a thing, the interpretations of any higher court will basically ammend the law for lower courts.

If you have a system based on precedent I guess, but I don't think the EU has that.
