January 28, 2009 is International Privacy Day. Designated by the Council of Europe three years ago, this day is meant to raise awareness and educate the public about the importance of privacy in every context. In line with my work on the Advisory Board of the Electronic Privacy Information Center at www.epic.org and my commitment to privacy at Georgetown University, I would like to encourage all community members and visitors to be mindful of privacy and to support privacy efforts worldwide personally, professionally, and financially.

On January 28, 2008, in the United States, the US Privacy Coalition (including EPIC) is launching a campaign to urge the US government to support the Council of Europe Privacy Convention.We are urge organizations around the world to begin similar campaigns in their own countries. Start your campaign on January 28, 2009 and continue until we get support for the international privacy convention.
Request your government to support the Council of Europe Privacy Convention 108 and to adopt comprehensive privacy legislation based in that standard.
Join the coordination group of the international campaign, by sending a message to thepublicvoice (at) datos-personales (dot) org or by subscribing directly through http://mailman.thepublicvoice.org/listinfo.cgi/privacy-thepublicvoice.org
