The Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development ( OECD ) has always shown irts interest in Internet matters. Recently OECD published some studies or proceedings which proves its interest for the so-called Web 2.0:

NSF/OECD Workshop “Social and Economic Factors Shaping the Future of the Internet”, 31 January 2007. Pdf
Conclusions of the OECD – Italy, Conference on The Future Digital Economy: Digital Content Creation, Distribution and Access, January 2006. Pdf

These events are a forerunner to other important future events:

…purpose is to pave the way for a ministerial meeting on the future of the Internet economy, Seoul, Corea, 17 and 18 Jun 2008 (Site)..
On which, logically the genral public can give its point of view until sept the 14 th by filling in a questionnaire

It must be noted that the OECD in order to improve the audience of its publications signed an agreement with Google Book Search ( see the snapshots below )
