+Most EU states have already transposed the directive into their national law. Some states are still missing, among them Germany, Austria, and Portugal. (Look at the list of transpositions [[
+http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/NIM/?uri=celex:32014L0053|here]])
+Even though the directive entered into force in June this year, it hasn't however, fully become active yet. New device classes still need to be defined:
+In the beginning of December, the Commission has launched a call for applications for the expert group on provision 3.3 (i), the main RadioLockdown provision.
+http://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regexpert/index.cfm?do=calls.calls_for_app
+Search for "Reconfigurable Radio Systems (RSS)", the Commission term for Software Defined Radio (SDR).
+==== Next steps and how you can become active! ====
+=== Equipment classes ===
+The equipment classes definition should exclude consumer grade radio equipment from the conformity check obligations of 3.3(i), so Community WiFi projects such as Freifunk, Guifi.net, and other  initiatives can continue providing Internet access to communities, and Free Software developers and users can continue using WiFi cards in their laptops etc.
+To this end, FSFE and Freifunk (through EDRi) will apply for the expert group. And if, hopefully, they are accepted, they will rely on all our expertise and input when submitting documents to the expert group.
+=== Stay vocal ===
+The second, but equally, if not more important task is: you need to continue being vocal about the threats of the directive to you and your projects.
+National governments and regulators will be represented in the expert group so they are the ones to reach out to.
