Code Red: Privacy & fun in Brighton

Der durchschlagende Erfolg des Big Brother Awards hat
logische Konsequenzen. Ab 9. Januar 1999 wird Privacy
International jeden Monat im britischen Seebade Brighton
einen "Code Red" Privacy Workshop abhalten. Nicht nur die
Teilnahme ist frei, wenig bemitteltete Teilnehmer werden
gratis beherbergt. Verbissenheit, Askese, Dauer-Ernst etc.
stehen nicht auf dem Programm, vielmehr hat der
Organisator im Anschluss an "pubbing, dining, clubbing &
having fun" gedacht.

PRIVACY INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES THE "CODE
RED" PRIVACY WORKSHOPS

Friends and colleagues,

In 1999, Privacy International - the international privacy
campaign organisation - will host a series of privacy
workshops to be held in Brighton throughout the year on the
second weekend of each month.

The workshops will have four purposes :

1. To brainstorm current privacy (and privacy related) issues;

2. To plan future events and campaigns;

3. To provide occasional training sessions in technical
issues, media skills, campaigning etc, and,

4. To give us all an opportunity to network and to have huge
amounts of evening/night fun in sunny Brighton.

We called the workshops "Code Red"
because.....well.....because it sounds cool. No other reason.

We chose Brighton as the venue for the workshops because
of the mass of PI members and supporters there who can
offer a billet (i.e. free accommodation if you can stand
sleeping with the cat/ dog/ mainframe humm/ sound system/
travelling hippies etc etc.).

The workshops are open to campaigners, IT experts,
academics, journalists and anyone involved in the pursuit of
privacy protection. Chatham House rules will apply to the
workshops.

The 1999 dates will be :

January 9 & 10 February 13 & 14 March 13 & 14 April 10 &
11 May 8 & 9 June 12 & 13 July 10 & 11 August 7 & 8
September 11 & 12 October 9 & 10 November 13 & 14
December 11 & 12


The Standing Agenda will be :

Saturday 13.00 - 14.00 Amateur buffet lunch and guest
speaker

14.00 - 18.00 : Briefing and discussion of curent issues

18.00 - : pubbing, dining and clubbing in Brighton

Sunday 11.00 - 15.00 : Follow-up from Saturday, campaign
strategy, ad-hoc training sessions, comprehensive briefing
sessions, and forward planning (can be extend if required).

Within this agenda, the subject matter is flexible, and the
sessions are likely to cover a range of themes including
internet privacy, censorship, data protection law, workplace
surveillance, communications interception, police powers,
national security and visual surveillance.

Anyone wanting to participate should call Simon Davies on
0958 466 552. There will be no cost, though a contribution of
a few quid for food would be gratefully received if you can
afford it.

BLOCK OUT THE DATES IN YOUR YOUR DIARY NOW !!

We're looking forward to seeing you.

Best wishes

Simon Davies Director, Privacy International
