 Dear all,

As an update, the deadline for this call to the ICDPPC's 40th Conference
Advisory Board has been extended to COB Friday 09 February.

You can also send the application directly to the EDPS, and I've revised
the text in the call below to reflect that.

Best
Sheetal.

      working for a digital rights NGO that also covers these topics)*

* - Ideally be available to attend the Conference in Brussels in October
      (22-26) - Be available to dedicate at least an hour per week to the role
