I suggest that this working group officially supports the Citizens' 
Summit. Ok?

I also met with Wolf Ludwig from the organizing committee last weekend, 
and he said they are more than happy to get more proposals for panels.
I suggest we organize a privacy panel at this event. I have already asked 
Simon Davies if he could participate. Anybody else?
Ideas what to discuss / present there?

We could easily replay the quite nice side-event we had during PrepCom3, 
which presented our take on the official WSIS process in terms of privacy. 
I personally would prefer something more fundamental, looking way beyond 
the WSIS and discussing general privacy threats and opportunities in the 
global information society.

We will need to come up with a short description and a list of speakers in 
the next one or two weeks, I guess. If nobody objects to this general 
idea, of course.

Best, Ralf
