The WPISP in the OECD Structure:
The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 34 member countries work together with business and civil society to address the economic, social, environmental and governance challenges of the globalising world economy, as well as exploit its opportunities.
The WPISP works under the direction of the Committee for Information, Computer and Communications Policy (ICCP) which reports to the OECD Council.
It is supported by the OECD Secretariat within the Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry.
Participants are delegates from member countries. Business, civil society, other international organisations and non-members are also sitting at the table.
It meets twice a year in Paris and organises forum sessions and conferences.
All OECD instruments in the areas of the WPISP are included in the booklet OECD Policies for Information Security and Privacy.
