Dear Readers,
the Youth Protection Roundtable has had its4th Meeting in London on October 23 to discuss the draft guidelines, which will be published at the Final Conference on April 3, 2009. Please read about age verification and the development of the guidelines in the YPRT report on page 2 of this issue.
From December 3-6, the Internet Governance Forum organised by the United Nations will take place in Hyderabad, India. Global stakeholders, in general from governments, inter-governmental agencies and industry, but also global NGOs and representatives of the civil society will discuss about the Internet and their interest in privacy and freedom of speech. This implies a huge opportunity to reach and influence new and important audiences in regard to child and youth protection on the Internet.
The Youth Protection Roundtable will attend the IGF and promote the work of the online safety initiatives of the EU and raise awareness for this important issue.
We will report regularly from the IGF on the website, so please be kindly invited to visit www.yprt.eu.
Please take kindly note of the news, events and research in this newsletter.
Yours
