- [journal of] Information and Communications Technology Law  -- Submissions 
for a Special Issue: Government-held Information, Privacy and Civic Access

Governments are most frequently the largest collectors of data within their 
jurisdictions, and often that data collection and storage is financially 
supported with public taxes. How governments manage and make available that 
information when requests are made by non-government parties varies in each 
country. As the data-sharing world finds new and multi-platform ways to 
network, the variations of legal access to government-held information create 
both opportunities and difficulties. This special issue will collect the state 
of access to government-held information with special attention to concerns for 
civilian privacy and civic activists' oversight of government operations.

Submissions should conform to normal journal specifications noted
