<DIV>Dear Milton Mueller,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for your timely information!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since your last message on this and professor Wu's reminder for this, I
have discussed with local members how our civil society members could join in
this event. At the moment, the general response is not so positive partly
because most of them are exhausted with grappling with local IT concerned
issues, but I and our colleagues would push them to cooperate together for this
event. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>I want to know more what civil society group are expecting
particularly for internet governance issues and what our local members
could help other civil society participants. One thing I can say now is that the
Ministry of Information & Communication (MIC) has never contacted or
informed local civil society members for this preparation although local
preparation team has been organized. Of course, local civil society
members can address our concerns on this event and find out how we could
join in the preparation team. However, at the moment, we are just observing
what is taking place. Unfortunately, all preparation things are completely not
open. I am just getting some information from IT companies who belong to
the preparation team. </DIV>

OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation<BR>and Development) is currently
preparing its 10th <BR>Ministerial Meeting on "The Future of the<BR>Internet
Economy", which will take place in<BR>Seoul, South Korea, June 17-18
2008.<BR><BR>APC and the Internet Governance Project, together<BR>with EPIC
and their Public Voice initiative, are <BR>working with the OECD secretariat
to increase<BR>participation of Civil Society groups in shaping<BR>the agenda
of the Ministerial meeting and in<BR>organising a one day stakeholder
pre-event on<BR>June 16th 2008.<BR><BR>This message contains general
background<BR>information about the OECD and the 10th<BR>Ministerial meeting,
and some of the<BR>opportunities for civil society participation.<BR><BR>A
second message will soon follow, outlining <BR>these opportunities in more
detail, include some<BR>of our preliminary thinking about priorities
for<BR>civil society engagement with this process, why<BR>we think you should
get involved and how you can get involved. <BR><BR>We look forward to working
with you on this!<BR><BR>Jeanette Hoffman, Karen Banks, Milton
Mueller<BR><BR>About The Event<BR>=============<BR>The OECD, an
inter-governmental organisation that<BR>consists of 30 member Countries, will
hold a <BR>Ministerial Meeting on "The Future of the<BR>Internet Economy" in
Seoul, Korea, on 17-18 June<BR>2008. <A

target=_blank>www.oecd.org/futureinternet</A>.<BR><BR>The OECD Ministerial
Meeting aims to formulate <BR>guiding principles and policies for the
future<BR>development of the Internet economy. Recognizing<BR>that the world
depends to a growing degree on the <BR>Internet, the goal is to help
governments<BR>establish policies responding to new developments <BR>and
concerns arising from the changing role of<BR>the Internet in our society and
economy.<BR><BR>The Ministerial meeting will be preceded by a day <BR>of
"stakeholder fora" on June 16 2008, to give an<BR>opportunity to civil society
and the business <BR>sector to present their viewpoints on the
future<BR>development of the Internet economy. More<BR>information on the
Ministerial and Stakeholder fora are available <BR>online.<BR><BR>The OECD
Ministerial Meeting offers a broad <BR>international public space to discuss
the<BR>economic and societal implications of the<BR>emerging information
economy. Civil society<BR>groups active in the area of information society
<BR>related issues should use this opportunity to <BR>network among themselves
and collectively express<BR>their visions on guiding policy principles
for<BR>the development of the Future of the Internet economy.<BR><BR>About The
OECD <BR>=============<BR>Membership in the OECD includes the majority of
<BR>European countries, Canada, the United States,<BR>Mexico, New Zealand,
Australia, Turkey, Japan and<BR>Korea. The OECD headquarters (the secretariat)
is based in Paris. <BR><BR>The OECD provides a setting where governments can
<BR>compare policy experiences, seek answers to<BR>common problems, identify
good practice and work<BR>to co-ordinate domestic and
international<BR>policies. The OECD engages in policy analysis, <BR>data
gathering, monitoring, and forecasting in <BR>many different areas but in
particular for<BR>economic, environmental and social issues. In the<BR>fields
of digital economy and information<BR>society, the OECD covers many areas that
are of <BR>interest to civil society, such as privacy law <BR>enforcement,
user-created content, network<BR>neutrality and gender in ICT employment.
Reports<BR>of the OECD Committee of Information, Computer<BR>and
Communications Policy can be found at ( <A

about 70<BR>non-member countries and a number of <BR>non-governmental entities
such as the Business<BR>and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) and
the<BR>Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC). There is <BR>as yet no formal
link to civil society<BR>organisations, but the OECD is currently
<BR>considering its relationship to the<BR>non-governmental sector with a view
to greater inclusion.<BR><BR><BR>Public Consultation - open until September
14th 2007 <BR>=========================================<BR>The OECD Online
