Cari tutti, scusandomi per l'inglese: --- Dear all, some of you are already aware of the announcement by the European Commission concerning the Global Internet Policy Observatory initiative. For those who don't, you can find the text of the announcement here: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/news/commission-plans-guide-through-g... and a blog post by Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission, here: http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/neelie-kroes/gipo/ The European Commission is organising a tele-conference on *5 July 2013*(from 13h30 to 15h30, Brussels time) which will be the occasion to present the "state of play" of the initiative and discuss the next steps. We are currently preparing a background document to share with participants and other interested parties and I do hope - but at this stage cannot commit - that it will be ready before the conference call. If you are interesed in attending the call, please write to *my work e-mail address* (for ease of tracking), i.e. *Andrea.Glorioso@ec.europa.eu* and I will send the necessary data. Please feel free to share this with other parties whom you think would be interested. --- Ciao, -- I speak only for myself. Sometimes I do not even agree with myself. Keep it in mind.
