(A draft executive summary of that research can be found <a href="https://www.freedomonlinecoalition.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/FOC-WG3-Draft-Executive-Summary-May-2015.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.)<br><br>WG3 will build on this work under its new mandate from fall 2015-spring 2016. The group will focus on 1) the development of models and best practices for government transparency reporting in this context, and on 2) company and government transparency about the laws, policies and processes in which these requests are made and received.<br><br>The Group will consist of up to 15 selected individuals who will join the Working Group Co-chairs alongside FOC country members. Members participate in their individual capacity and will be expected to participate regularly in conference calls, online collaboration on projects, and in-person meetings when possible.<br><br><b>Deadline for applications: COB 5th August 2015.</b><br><br>For more information about the call, including details on how to apply, please visit the <a href="https://www.freedomonlinecoalition.com/news/call-for-members-working-group-privacy-and-transparency-online/" target="_blank">FOC website</a>.<br><div><br></div><div>With best wishes</div><div>Charles</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#073763" face="verdana, sans-serif" size="2"><b>Charles Bradley</b> </font><div><font color="#073763" face="verdana, sans-serif" size="2">Head of Strategy and Operations | GLOBAL PARTNERS DIGITAL</font><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136)"><div><font color="#666666" face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1">Development House, 56–64 Leonard Street, London EC2A 4LT</font></div><div><font color="#666666" face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1">T: <a href="tel:%2B44%20%280%2920%207549%200337" value="+442075490337" target="_blank">+44 (0)20 7549 0337</a> | M: <a href="tel:%2B44%20%280%297852%20535222" value="+447852535222" target="_blank">+44 (0)7852 535222</a> | Skype: charles.globalpartners</font></div><div><font color="#666666" face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1"><a href="http://gp-digital.org/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">gp-digital.org</a></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
