(1) CFP2002 SET FOR SAN FRANCISCO: PROPOSALS WANTED; OCTOBER 15
DEADLINE
The Computers, Freedom and Privacy Conference (CFP) is a leading annual
venue for public debate on issues relating to the future of privacy and
freedom on the Internet. CFP 2002 is scheduled for April 16-19, 2002 in
San Francisco. Given the grief and anger we feel about the September 11
terrorist attacks and the frenetic policy debates underway in
Washington,
it is hard to look forward as far as next April. But CFP has always
been
an important opportunity to consider the future of the Net, and to make
it successful planning must proceed. CDT is actively involved in the
conference's preparations. Associate Director Ari Schwartz is serving
as Conference Chairman for CFP 2002. CDT also supports CFP through
in-kind sponsorship.
The program committee is seeking proposals for innovative conference
sessions and speakers. While proposals are welcomed on all aspects of
computing, freedom, and privacy, the organizers encourage proposals
that explore some of the most important issues facing the Internet and
freedom, including:
* global activism;
* technology and monopoly;
* voting technology and democracy; technology and weapons;
* ICANN and Internet governance;
* borders and censorship;
* digital divide;
* biometric systems;
* consumer privacy;
* wireless privacy and security;
* hacktivism;
* intellectual property and intellectual freedom;
* digital rights management and privacy;
* public records and private lives.
Proposals are due by October 15, 2001. See
http://www.cfp2002.org/participation/ for more information.
For more general conference related information, please visit the CFP
web site at http://www.cfp2002.org.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) SPECIAL PROGRAMS PLANNED
1) A workshop entitled "Fair Use By Design?" will explore the impact
of digital rights management tools specifically on "fair use." The
discussion will focus on the limitations, contextual requirements,
and barriers to fair use that are created by digital rights
management technology. For more information please visit the CFP
web site at http://www.cfp2002.org/participation/#workshop.
2) CFP encourages student attendance. Full time college or graduate
students may apply for financial support to attend the conference.
Application information will be available in mid to late fall 2001.
Check the CFP web site at http://www.cfp2002.org for updates.
3) In an effort to enlarge the number and variety of groups and
organizations engaged in technology related policy issues, CFP
will offer a few scholarships to be awarded to those community
groups who have been underrepresented at past CFP conferences.
Application information will be available in mid to late fall 2001.
Check the CFP web site at http://www.cfp2002.org for updates.
