2 I am delighted to report on the recent successful 45th Council meeting that took place in Brussels last month. First and foremost allow me to congratulate my fellow Executive Committee members, who were either re-elected or newly elected to their respective positions during Council. Nello Scarabottolo shall be my successor, and was elected as President Elect, with Byron Nicolaides re-elected as Honorary Secretary. Jorg Ruegg from SI became the new Honorary Treasurer for CEPIS, while both Declan Brady from ICS and Djordje Dukic from JISA were elected as Vice Presidents by Council. Malgorzata Kalinowska-Iszkowska remains in the role of Vice President. During the meeting, Council discussed many new and on-going developments relating to the CEPIS Strategy From these discussions and presentations, new Working Groups have been set up, and I encourage all of you to participate in these new initiatives. The existing Green ICT, Professionalism, and Women in ICT Task Forces will benefit from even further participation from CEPIS Members, to build upon their ongoing activities that were presented at Council. I encourage you all further to participate in the new Working Groups created at Council, which will focus on the proposed amendments to the Constitution and Standing Orders, and Membership Fees. As this is the last CEPIS Newsletter for 2010, I would like to wish you all happy holidays and a fruitful New Year.

Have Your Say on Future Funding: Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) This public consultation is part of an assessment of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) which consists of three operational programmes, including the ICT Policy Support Programme. It is a perfect opportunity for stakeholders to comment on CIP activities and indicate what could be done to improve its possible successor.

Click here to find out more about the public consultation on the CIP European Commission Targets Unemployment with New Initiative: New Skills and Jobs The recently issued initiative aims to reddress the
4 European job market by targeting both unemployment and taking measures to equip Europeans with the right skills. 23 million people are currently unemployed across the EU 10% of the active population which seriously undermines Europe s economic performance. Some sectors, notably IT, health and research are more susceptible to shortages of skilled workers.the European Commission wishes to tackle these issues through 13 key actions that aim to help workers gain the skills necessary to respond to future market requirements, support workforce mobility, improve working conditions, reform labour markets and facilitate the job creation process. The proposal to introduce measures that can enhance both public and private investment in training and education is welcome and should stress that ICT is required as the cornerstone for skilling, re-skilling and up-skilling in all sectors of the economy. Click here to find out more about the initiative CYBER EUROPE 2010: Successful Stress Test for Europe The first ever Pan-European Cyber Security exercise involving 30 European countries took place on November 4th, It was organised by EU Member States and supported jointly by the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) and the EU s Joint Research Centre (JRC). During the exercise experts from over 70 public sector bodies were faced with nearly 320 IT security threats. The interim findings of the exercise show it fully met its objectives, however further improvements are needed such as closer public-private sector co-operation in combating cyber crimes. The full report about CYBER EUROPE 2010 is to be published at the beginning of Click here to find out more about CYBER EUROPE 2010 CEPIS Task Forces Need You! At the 45th Council meeting recently, the progress and development of the different Task Forces relating to the key strategic areas of CEPIS, were presented and discussed. Since the last Council meeting in spring 2010, it is
5 clear that most of the Task Forces have become mobilised, and are active in pursuing CEPIS objectives in their respective areas. However more participation from CEPIS Member Societies continues to be crucial in gaining success in each Task Force, and in gaining more support and visibility on a pan-european level. The following groups are seeking new members: - Green ICT - Professionalism Gerald Futschek from OCG also presented the latest progress on the proposed European Citizen's Initiative on Data Privacy - if any CEPIS Members would like to participate in this initiative please sign up. In addition, a new group, Software Quality, is open to members to start its work and the well-established Legal and Security Issues SIN is open to interested members. If you are interested in joining any of the above please contact Fiona Fanning.

Click here for more information Near Consensus on Importance of Open Internet A public consultation on open internet and net neutrality has recently been conducted by the European Commission. Its aim was to look more deeply into issues such as internet traffic management, transparency, quality of service considerations and the EU's new telecom rules. 318 stakeholders provided their input. The main findings of the survey show that the EU s revised telecoms framework adopted in 2009 supports the cause of net neutrality and that industry representatives are generally content with current market structures. However, some respondents are concerned about new internet business models that might cause net neutrality problems in the future and warn of possible discrimination problems undermining the competitiveness of the ICT sector. Click here to find out more about the survey and its main findings The Digital Competitiveness Report 2010 This report analyses recent developments in important policy areas of the European information society and provides a significant evidence base for the European Digital Agenda. It focuses on the use of internet services and ecommerce, the digital divide and einclusion, online public services, broadband access, the economic impact of ICT and the ICT sector. The report also benchmarks the relative performance of the EU Member States where possible, compared with other major non-european economies such as the US, Japan and Korea. It shows that in 2009 the European digital economy continued to grow and more people used online
