Google Inc (NASDAQ GOOG) appointed a panel that will carry its first meeting on Tuesday discussing over the fine tuning between privacy and the free flow of information following the May court ruling that ordered the search engine giant to abide by “Right to be forgotten” rule.

Google would host its first meeting session, where the panel would discuss about balancing between individual privacy and freedom of information. Meeting, which is first in the series of the forthcoming such discussions, will be held in Madrid amid Google trying to handle thousands of request every month from the customers to remove their requested information from the search engine page such as serious criminal records, embarrassing photos, instances of online bullying and negative press stories.

Google, which dominates over 80% of the European market, stated that it has received more than 90,000 requests, and has processed more than half after the court gave Europeans the right to ask the search engine to remove their unwanted info. Data protection watchdogs will hold their next meeting on September 15th and are currently trying to design guidelines for the search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft to make sure they are accepting and processing the request consistently.
