Item 11 describes a PR campaign to persuade the public that RFID -- radio-frequency ID tagging of products -- is beneficial technology despite consumer privacy fears. It proposes an "international privacy advisory council:"

� Create a Privacy Advisory Council to:
provide 3rd party validation to Center�s privacy commitment
offer valuable guidance on technology and privacy issues
serve as spokespeople, when necessary
� Made up of:

well known, credible, and credentialed experts
potentially adversarial advocates
� Examples of potential members:

Harvard Information Infrastructure Project
Georgetown Center on Law and Technology
Center for Democracy and Technology
Electronic Privacy Information Center
Global Information Infrastructure Commission
Consumer Federation of America
Privacy Officers Association
European Consumers� Union
and enlist prominent opinion-makers:

� Including, for instance:
U.S. Senators Leahy and McCain
U.S. Representatives Dingell and Tauzin
FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection
National Association of Attorneys General
AARP
AFL-CIO
Head of Unit, EC, Information Society
Leaders of European Parliament Industry Committee

Get it now, while you still can.

Definately un-freakin-cool.
