Info Commissioners Meet in Manchester

4th International Conference Separates Officials, NGOs

Delegates from more than 40 countries participated this month in the 4th International Conference of Information Commissioners (ICIC), which took place in Manchester, United Kingdom, on May 22nd and May 23rd, hosted by the U.K. Information Commissioner, Richard Thomas. 

The conference followed a different format than its predecessor, held in Cancun, Mexico last year, where members of the international freedom of information community both within and outside of government were invited to participate in all sessions of the event. In Manchester, members of civil society were invited to attend only the second and last day of the conference.
