Best regards,

I like the idea, obviously just asking the same question on mailing lists doesn't get us too many responses.

But we need to find the right format and interesting and relevant people willing to answer them. I am positive I can find people in the DG units that would be happy to participate. I will put this on my to-do, as I really think this could work and is exciting.

Furthermore, Julia Reda, German MEP for the Pirate Party sitting the Green Group, has created a website that let's people directly ask questions to the Commissioners-Designate. [3] From what I've heard, Mr. Ansip might be willing to answer all of them in an "online hearing" at a later stage. 

Somewhat serious question: why not do the same within our community?
