OECD conference on consumer protection this week

The OECD is meeting in Washington, DC from 8-10 December to convene the conference, "Empowering E-Consumers: Strengthening Consumer Protection in the Internet Economy"

There are quite a few options for remote participation-- you can ask a question (either textually or on video) via Google Moderator, or follow the Twitter at hashtag #ecom.

From the event description:

"E-commerce has evolved dramatically since 1999, when the OECD issued its first Guidelines for Consumer Protection in the Context of Electronic Commerce. Government, business, civil society, international organisations and academics will explore how effective the guidelines are and what new opportunities, obstacles and risks consumers face in today’s online world."
