The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) launched an Online Public Consultation on the themes and topics to be addressed at the Ministerial Meeting entitled "The Future of the Internet Economy" due in Seoul, Korea, 17-18 June 2008.

The aim of the Public Consultation is to provide an opportunity to all stakeholders to comment on the topics of the conference, hence ensuring that the conference benefits from a wide and diverse range of opinions and expertise. Answers to the Public Consultation will thus act as an asset in the policy discussions leading to the conference.

In Egypt's endeavour to prepare for its participation to the conference, it is highly encouraged that all interested Egyptian stakeholders provide their views and share their opinions on the topics to be discussed.

There are five roundtables to post comments on (each roundtable contains a number of questions):
1. Improving Economic Performance And Social Welfare.
2. Benefiting from Convergence.
3. Promoting Creativity.
4. Building Confidence.
5. A Global Internet Economy.

Who Can Participate in the online Public Consultation
The Public Consultation is open to all parties wishing to contribute including civil society groups, representatives of the technical community, individual experts, businesses, as well as members of the general public.

Deadline
The deadline to fill in the online public consultation is on 31st January 2008.
