The board takes advice from the Program Council, which consists of the following members: dr. Ewa Charkiewicz, dr. Dominika Dörre-Nowak, barrister Maciej Ślusarek, prof. Roman Wieruszewski, Monika Płatek and Józef Halbersztadt.
The Panoptykon Foundation demanded an alternative solution for those who were reluctant to share their personally identifiable information with Warsaw's Department of Public Transport (ZTM).
At the same time, the foundation started a public campaign, “Mam Cię – bo Muszę” (“I have you – because I’m forced to”), encouraging the personalization's opponents to express themselves by requesting a city card with a protest-themed graphic design printed on it.
Part of the city council, with help from the foundation's legal experts, prepared a project to reintroduce personal tickets that would not be registered in ZTM's databases.
In July 2011 the foundation organized a meeting with David Lyon, a renowned scholar dedicated to exploring the concept of the surveillance society.
Prof. Lyons discussed multiple aspects of modern surveillance and its effects with Polish social scientists, journalists and thinkers.
