The Global Liberty Internet Campaign (GILC) will sponsor 
"The Public Voice in the Development of Internet Policy" in 
Ottawa, Canada on Wednesday, October 7.  The meeting is 
scheduled to coincide with the Ministerial meeting of the 
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) 
that begins in Ottawa on October 8. 
 
The Public Voice conference is a public meeting on the role 
of the citizen in the development of the information 
society.  The meeting will hear from consumer groups, human 
rights organizations and civil liberties advocates on such 
issues as privacy, access, consumer protection and human 
rights in the 21st century. 
 
John Manley, the Canadian Minister of Industry will be the 
opening speaker. Mr. Manley will be followed by David 
Johnston, the former Chair of the Canadian Information 
Highway Advisory Council and former Provost of McGill 
University.  Stephen Lau, the Privacy Commissioner for 
Personal Data in Hong Kong, will address the group in the 
afternoon.  Experts from Belgium, Canada, Norway, Britain, 
Germany, Austria, Australia, and the United States will 
discuss a range of important issues affecting consumers and 
citizens in the on-line world. 
 
The GILC meeting is being organized by EPIC in cooperation 
with Federation Nationale des Associations de Consommateurs 
du Quebec (Montreal), the Public Interest Advocacy Center 
(Ottawa), and Electronic Frontiers Canada.
