just occurred to me that this might be of interest to some people on  
this list, therefore I decided to forward one of these announcements

Dear NIS Stakeholder,

I would like to inform you that the European Commission has opened a  
public consultation with the title "Towards a Strengthened Network and  
Information Security in Europe".

The consultation will run through until 9 January 2009. It is  
available at:
http://ec.europa.eu/yourvoice/ipm/forms/dispatch?form=InfsoNis

Further information on the public consultation is published at:
-DG INFSO newsroom:
http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/newsroom/cf/itemlongdetail.cfm?item_id=4464
-Your voice in Europe: http://ec.europa.eu/yourvoice/consultations/index_en.htm

It is stated on the webpage:
"In order to facilitate this debate, the Commission's services are  
organising an online consultation to gather contributions from *as  
many stakeholders as possible* on the possible objectives for a  
strengthened network and information security policy at EU level and  
on the means to achieve those objectives."

We urge you make an effort to contribute to this very important public  
dialogue!
