[Privsec] Privacy will be discussed at Internet Governance Forum

[Ralf Bendrath]

Hi all,

a quick insider update from the consultations of the IGF Advisory Group in 
Geneva. Seems like Privacy made it in. :-)

Now we'll have to do the lobbying for the outlines of the workshops, the 
invited speakers etc.

Best, Ralf
