Standards

The Public Voice, the largest worldwide civil society coalition, will  
discuss: Global Privacy Standards in a Global World; during its  
conference on November 3, 2009 in Madrid, Spain, to be held in  
conjunction with the 31st Annual International Conference of Data  
Protection and Privacy Commissioners.

Prominent advocates and experts from the academic, consumer, digital  
rights and labor communities will discuss with public officials and  
the business sector how to raise privacy awareness in the global  
community; and how to promote civil society participation in decision  
making processes towards the adoption of better privacy and data  
protection standards globally.

The Conference will first review recent privacy and human rights  
developments and major privacy activism campaigns around the world.  
Stavros Lambrinidis, Vice-President of the European Parliament, is  
invited to comment on the most recent developments.
The Conference will also address current challenges raised by emerging  
technologies and business practices: representatives from civil  
society and from the business sector will discuss privacy implications  
of issues such as cloud computing or Internet search. It will further  
address transborder data flows in the public and private sector, from  
passenger name records and financial transactions to the outsourcing  
of personal data.

The final Conference panel will launch the Madrid Civil Society  
Declaration on Global Privacy Standards; that will be discussed by  
invited public data protection officials from OECD, the EU Article 29  
Working Party, USA and Canada. Peter Hustinx, European Data Protection  
Supervisor, will provide closing remarks.
The Conference is sponsored by the Spanish Data Protection Agency and  
it is free to all participants. Registration is compulsory. Register  
NOW. Detailed program, registration and practical information at: http://thepublicvoice.org/events/madrid09/

LiveWecast and Twitter Backchannel will be available.
