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 if you are interested in joining us.
