  Jordi Iparraguirre:topic: workshop on how to improve our privacy online

  Yuliya Morenets:Good evening

  Jean-Jacques Subrenat:@Over-arching theme for EuroDIG Sofia, I propose something along the lines of "Internet governance: European perspectives". This would bring out the diversity of situations in Europe, but also the fact that many of the most contemporary references for Internet governance come from Europe (legislation or standards for human rights, Internet user rights, etc.).

  Olivier Crepin-Leblond:I am ready for public consultations review

  Silvia Vivanco:http://www.eurodig.org/eurodig-2015/

  Silvia Vivanco:Eurodig Website above

  Christoph Bruch:ok thanks!

  Christoph Bruch:will do

  Christoph Bruch:yes

  jimmy Schulz:i´d support discussing Internet Tax, which is a stupid idea.

  Silvia Vivanco:https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/display/alacpolicydev/At-Large+Policy+Development+Page

  Wolf Ludwig:I agree, Jimmy, it's a *very* stupid idea but rather typical for a guy like Mr. Oetinger ;-)

  Jean-Jacques Subrenat:@Olivier: "US MOVING OUT..." sounds too optimistic. Reality would be closer to "the US has announced it is willing to examine a plan for the transfer of NTIA's stewardship of the IANA functions".

  Wolf Ludwig:Agree with your assessment, JJ!

  Yuliya Morenets:+1

  Dick Kalkman (isoc.nl):So, why not invite mr Oetinger tot discuss his ideas?

  Jean-Jacques Subrenat:@Yuliya, good idea.

  Jean-Jacques Subrenat:sorry, I meant @Dick.

  Wolf Ludwig:Sandra is checking and discussing the EU Commission's involvement at the Sofia EuroDIG today in Brussels -- that's why we hope to have a EU Commissioner next year ...

  Jean-Jacques Subrenat:@Wolf, Sandra: good!
