[Chapter-delegates] [G8] Final G8 Declaration

[Eric Burger]

I worry about the literal interpretation of "we need to seize emerging opportunities, such as cloud computing, social networking and citizen publications, which are driving innovation and enabling growth in our societies" [emphasis mine]

I actually like their call for international cooperation on IPR.

Anyone have any idea what the London International Cyber Conference is? Surprisingly, a Google search comes up with zero real hits, other than a joint US-UK commitment to participate.

In this regard, flexibility and transparency have to be maintained in order to adapt to the fast pace of technological and business developments and uses. Governments have a key role to play in this model.”
