2. The Call
In Spring 2007 the EC called for building a Thematic Network on
Privacy Protection Infrastructure
Goal:
– Facilitate the emergence of an open Europe-wide eServices
market with dynamic service composition across different privacy
policy regimes
– allow users to define privacy profiles, and to monitor and control
their enforcement and propagation
– Bring together the relevant stakeholders
– Information Exchange and Networking on Enhancing Privacy
Protection Infrastructures, thus identifying possible synergies
and transfer of know-how.
3. The Idea
• 4 events over 2 years, co-
located with relevant
other events
• 16+ partners from Gov’t,
Enterprise and Civil
Society and open for
others
• “Un”conference style (Open Space)
4. Open Space?
• Open Agenda,
established on the fly,
only the guiding subject is
provided
• Participants themselves
are in charge of
organising the event
• Similar to BarCamps, in
use by many, eg. ITU-T
