Call for Signatures..
----------------------

The Civil Society Madrid Declaration

Several leading NGOs will be organizing a conference in Madrid on
November 3, 2009 on "Global Privacy Standards for a Global World."
This civil society conference will be held in conjunction with the
31st annual meeting of the Privacy and Data Protection Commissioners.

Among the key outcomes of the week will be the release of the
Civil Society Madrid Declaration, a document prepared by the committee
group that is organizing the civil society event. The Madrid
Declaration is a substantial document that reaffirms international
instruments for privacy protection, identifies new challenges, and
recommends specific actions.

The Madrid Declaration is now open for signatures:

An indication of support for this Declaration will help focus the  
privacy agenda on protecting consumers and citizens and help send a  
unified message to Data Protection and Privacy authorities around the  
world. The timing and focus of this Declaration is particularly worth  
considering signing on to. So, if you are so inclined, signing on and  
spreading the word about the Madrid Declaration beforehand to maximize  
the number of signatures would be of great help too.

If you would like to add your name to this declaration, please send a  
note to: Katitza Rodriguez at privacy at datos-personales.org

Pls. indicate if you are signing the declaration on behalf of your  
organization or as individual expert. We we will continue collecting  
signatures after Madrid and towards the fourth IGF.

The Declaration will be available in more than two dozen languages in  
the following weeks.
