 Code Red: Privacy & fun in Brighton
 
 Der durchschlagende Erfolg des Big Brother Awards hat
 logische Konsequenzen. Ab 9. Januar 1999 wird Privacy
 International jeden Monat im britischen Seebade Brighton
 einen "Code Red" Privacy Workshop abhalten. Nicht nur die
 Teilnahme ist frei, wenig bemitteltete Teilnehmer werden
 gratis beherbergt. Verbissenheit, Askese, Dauer-Ernst etc.
 stehen nicht auf dem Programm, vielmehr hat der
 Organisator im Anschluss an  "pubbing, dining, clubbing &
 having fun" gedacht.

 PRIVACY INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES THE "CODE
 RED" PRIVACY WORKSHOPS
 
 Friends and colleagues,
 
 In 1999, Privacy International - the international privacy
 campaign organisation - will host a series of privacy
 workshops to be held in Brighton throughout the year on the
 second weekend of each month.
 
 The workshops will have four purposes :
 
 1. To brainstorm current privacy (and privacy related) issues;
 
 2.  To plan future events and campaigns;
 
 3.  To provide occasional training sessions in technical
 issues, media skills, campaigning etc, and,
 
 4.  To give us all an opportunity to network and to have huge
 amounts of evening/night fun in sunny Brighton.
 
 We called the workshops "Code Red"
 because.....well.....because it sounds cool.  No other reason.
 
 We chose Brighton as the venue for the workshops because
 of the mass of PI members and supporters there who can
 offer a billet (i.e. free accommodation if you can stand
 sleeping with the cat/ dog/ mainframe humm/ sound system/
 travelling hippies etc etc.).
 
 The workshops are open to campaigners, IT experts,
 academics, journalists and anyone involved in the pursuit of
 privacy protection. Chatham House rules will apply to the
 workshops.
 
 The 1999 dates will be :
 
 January 9 & 10 February 13 & 14 March 13 & 14 April 10 &
 11 May 8 & 9 June 12 & 13 July 10 & 11 August 7 & 8
 September 11 & 12 October 9 & 10 November 13 & 14
 December 11 & 12
 
 
 The Standing Agenda will be :
 
 Saturday 13.00 - 14.00 Amateur buffet lunch and guest
 speaker
 
 14.00 - 18.00 : Briefing and discussion of curent issues
 
 18.00 - : pubbing, dining and clubbing in Brighton
 
 Sunday 11.00 - 15.00 : Follow-up from Saturday, campaign
 strategy, ad-hoc training sessions, comprehensive briefing
 sessions, and forward planning (can be extend if required).
 
 Within this agenda, the subject matter is flexible, and the
 sessions are likely to cover a range of themes including
 internet privacy, censorship, data protection law, workplace
 surveillance, communications interception, police powers,
 national security and visual surveillance.
 
 Anyone wanting to participate should call Simon Davies on
 0958 466 552. There will be no cost, though a contribution of
 a few quid for food would be gratefully received if you can
 afford it.
 
 BLOCK OUT THE DATES IN YOUR YOUR DIARY NOW !!
 
 We're looking forward to seeing you.
 
 Best wishes
 
 Simon Davies Director, Privacy International
