“Good faith security researchers that follow coordinated vulnerability disclosure standards should be protected from retaliation by the CRA.”

Given EU member states' track record of state-sanctions hacking, we believe it's a bad idea to create government-run databases full of zero-day exploits. I have therefore drafted an open letter to lawmakers working on the CRA <https://cloud.edri.org/index.php/s/aK6BJD2DpTs2JkF> to fix that problem and would like to kindly ask you to co-sign it individually if you can by Monday, 12 June at noon. Please also let me know should you have any major concerns with the draft letter. Thanks a lot!
