Code Red: Privacy & fun in Brighton 
 
Der durchschlagende Erfolg des Big Brother Awards hat  
logische Konsequenzen. Ab 9. Januar 1999 wird Privacy  
International jeden Monat im britischen Seebade Brighton  
einen "Code Red" Privacy Workshop abhalten. Nicht nur die  
Teilnahme ist frei, wenig bemitteltete Teilnehmer werden  
gratis beherbergt. Verbissenheit, Askese, Dauer-Ernst etc.  
stehen nicht auf dem Programm, vielmehr hat der  
Organisator im Anschluss an  "pubbing, dining, clubbing &  
having fun" gedacht.

PRIVACY INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES THE "CODE  
RED" PRIVACY WORKSHOPS 
 
Friends and colleagues, 
 
In 1999, Privacy International - the international privacy  
campaign organisation - will host a series of privacy  
workshops to be held in Brighton throughout the year on the  
second weekend of each month. 
 
The workshops will have four purposes : 
 
1. To brainstorm current privacy (and privacy related) issues; 
 
2.  To plan future events and campaigns; 
 
3.  To provide occasional training sessions in technical  
issues, media skills, campaigning etc, and, 
 
4.  To give us all an opportunity to network and to have huge  
amounts of evening/night fun in sunny Brighton. 
 
We called the workshops "Code Red"  
because.....well.....because it sounds cool.  No other reason. 
 
We chose Brighton as the venue for the workshops because  
of the mass of PI members and supporters there who can  
offer a billet (i.e. free accommodation if you can stand  
sleeping with the cat/ dog/ mainframe humm/ sound system/  
travelling hippies etc etc.). 
 
The workshops are open to campaigners, IT experts,  
academics, journalists and anyone involved in the pursuit of  
privacy protection. Chatham House rules will apply to the  
workshops.  
 
The 1999 dates will be :  
 
January 9 & 10 February 13 & 14 March 13 & 14 April 10 &  
11 May 8 & 9 June 12 & 13 July 10 & 11 August 7 & 8  
September 11 & 12 October 9 & 10 November 13 & 14  
December 11 & 12 
 
 
The Standing Agenda will be : 
 
Saturday 13.00 - 14.00 Amateur buffet lunch and guest  
speaker 
 
14.00 - 18.00 : Briefing and discussion of curent issues 
 
18.00 - : pubbing, dining and clubbing in Brighton 
 
Sunday 11.00 - 15.00 : Follow-up from Saturday, campaign  
strategy, ad-hoc training sessions, comprehensive briefing  
sessions, and forward planning (can be extend if required). 
 
Within this agenda, the subject matter is flexible, and the  
sessions are likely to cover a range of themes including  
internet privacy, censorship, data protection law, workplace  
surveillance, communications interception, police powers,  
national security and visual surveillance. 
 
Anyone wanting to participate should call Simon Davies on  
0958 466 552. There will be no cost, though a contribution of  
a few quid for food would be gratefully received if you can  
afford it. 
 
BLOCK OUT THE DATES IN YOUR YOUR DIARY NOW !! 
 
We're looking forward to seeing you. 
 
Best wishes 
 
Simon Davies Director, Privacy International
