The ePrivacy regulation is being negotiated right now, your best bet is to join the lobbying. It's for certain that there will be some amendments to the GDPR and ePrivacy directive regarding the way cookies and tracking are handled for websites. In Germany the Bitkom is a good place to start if you want to make your voice heard, they have a working group on data protection that comments on the EU legislation process (you'll be a bit late to the party regarding the ePrivacy regulation though, not sure if there's still much room for change). I don't think a citizen initiative will be likely to succeed as the regulation has been in the works for a long time and will probably be passed in one form or another, and I really doubt the EU would want to amend the handling of cookies a third time. BTW I develop an open-source CMP (https://github.co

m/kiprotect/klaro) and the problem is a bit more complex than honoring the DNT header, as the user needs to grant or decline his/her informed consent for all non-essential third-party services. In the long run I think this functionality should be implemented directly in the browser, but again this will require more than a single header IMHO.

Sounds great, I'll start: We're building Klaro (https://github.com/kiprotect/klaro), a tool that helps website owners respect and protect the privacy of their users. Right now you could mostly describe it as a consent management platform but we have much bigger plans and we think there's a way to operate websites with modern tools and services without selling out your visitors / users, and that's the vision we want to fulfill with Klaro. We already have thousands of open-source users and also launched a commercial service a few months ago, which is already growing nicely. We want to hire our first open-source developer soon, starting with a part-time engagement while we're increasing our revenue. Anyone interested should be knowledgeable in JS and React.js and know a good deal about browser internals (e.g. how cookies, localStorage etc. w

ork and which security & privacy features and restrictions apply). The work would be fully remote and fully on open-source software (we also have physical offices in Berlin though that you could work from if you happen to live there). We're quite early in the process of hiring someone and we don't even have a job description, if you're interested to chat please just drop me an e-mail to klaro@kiprotect.com. Thanks!
