Euro-parliamentarians create e-policy think tank

The European Internet Foundation launches Tuesday
More than 50 members of the European Parliament will launch a non-
partisan policy network, the European Internet Foundation, in
Brussels on Tuesday.
The EIF said in a press release Sunday that it intends to "help
mobilise strong political leadership for the network society
revolution gathering pace across Europe" and that, although it has
the "strong support" of the European Commission, will remain
independent. According to its release, the EIF will pursue its
mission through an on-going programme of live debates, briefings, and
special projects. It will address the topics of e-democracy, the new
economy and social change -- identifying emerging policy priorities
and helping frame policy options.
