Info Commissioners Meet in Manchester
4th International Conference Separates Officials, NGOs
http://www.freedominfo.org
31 May 2006 - Delegates from more than 40 countries participated this month
in the 4th International Conference of Information Commissioners (ICIC),
which took place in Manchester, United Kingdom, on May 22nd and May 23rd,
hosted by the U.K. Information Commissioner, Richard Thomas.
The conference followed a different format than its predecessor, held in
Cancun, Mexico last year, where members of the international freedom of
information community both within and outside of government were invited to
participate in all sessions of the event. In Manchester, members of civil
society were invited to attend only the second and last day of the
conference.
Please follow the link below to read a full report on the conference by
Emilene Martinez-Morales, Transparency Programs Coordinator for the Mexico
Project at the National Security Archive.
