Privacy and access control experts from America, Australia, Asia and Europe met in October 2006 in Ispra, Italy to study Web privacy issues and solutions. W3C would like to thank the Joint Research Center of the European Commission for hosting that Workshop on Languages for Privacy Policy Negotiation and Semantics-Driven Enforcement.
