Interesting. This consultation was also in the news in NL - mentioned as a 'committee of privacy experts from different countries that should come with an advise on how Google should handle the right to be forgotten'. Being considered is a win on itself, but we should be careful that they don't tie our name to whatever outcome this committee might come with, unless we agree with the whole outcome, i guess.
Anyway, my personal views are a bit more nuanced towards the right to be forgotten than most people involved with this topic (I'm not sure it's necessarily a Bad Thing in the long run - if there are sufficient safeguards in place). I think the best way to approach this is an open dialogue as much as possible but I'm guessing this is already pretty open for Google :)

Hello everyone,
I was contacted by Google's Brussels policy office team today and they want to meet with me and talk about the recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=152065&pageIndex=0&doclang=en&mode=lst&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=276332 that allows users to request information about them be taken off by search engines.
They want to discuss their approach in this matter in more detail and answer any questions we might have.
Dooes anyone on this list have a particular question they'd like me to ask them?
Cheers, Dimi
