14:00 OECD WORLD SUMMIT ON THE DIGITAL ECONOMY
The OECD Hawaii Summit on the Information Society (taking place in January
2003) will play a crucial role in the development of future global action on
information issues. Its intent is to help shape the framework agenda for
future government and private sector policy in the information economy
The Open Society Institute is supporting a programme intended to provide a
stronger voice for civil society in the OECD process. Accordingly, Privacy
International is organising a short meeting to coincide with the Vienna
"Liberties Lost" conference. The aim of the meeting will be to develop
strategies to carry the voice of civil society into the OECD process. The
Vienna meeting will feed into an NGO "public voice" programme being organised
in conjunction with the OECD.
All NGOs attending the Vienna conference are most welcome to come along to the
meeting. Please email Simon Davies at simon@privacy.org
