The Bertelsmann Foundation is organizing a third workshop in the framework of the project on "Self-regulation on the Internet". The workshop will focus on the role socially relevant groups can play in the promotion of their various ethics and values on the Internet. Specifically, there will be an introduction to the ICRA system which enables third parties (such as religious groups, political organizations, trade unions, child protection agencies etc.) to create their own rating templates for that filter system. The Bertelsmann Foundation aims at bringing together socially relevant groups from all over Europe to discuss how they can develop profiles for a filtering system like that, mirroring their set of ethical values. The overall goal is to increase safety and responsibility on the Internet.

The workshop will be held on September 8th in Guetersloh, Germany. Parties interested in participating are encouraged to contact Ms. Bettina Meier, either by phone (+49 5241-81-74367) or e-mail (bettina.meier@bertelsmann.de).
