PrivcyOS

The document summarizes a call from the European Commission in 2007 to build a Thematic Network on Privacy Protection Infrastructures. The goal was to facilitate an open European eServices market while allowing users to define and control privacy profiles across different privacy regimes. It would bring together stakeholders from government, enterprise, and civil society through 4 events over 2 years. The first event, called the European PrivacyOS Conference, would focus on Towards Privacy Friendly Identity Management and was scheduled for October 2007 in Strasbourg just before an international privacy and data protection conference. 16 partners from 9 countries and organizations agreed to participate in the open and collaborative network.
