(1) CFP2002 IN SAN FRANCISCO: EARLY REGISTRATION
DEADLINE IS MARCH 14
The Computers, Freedom and Privacy (CFP) conference is the
pre-eminent forum for issues regarding democracy and technology.
This year, it will be April 16-19 in San Francisco, California.
2002 marks CFP's 12th anniversary. As the Internet has grown, the
conference has been able to maintain the collective and inclusive
nature so elegantly chronicled in Bruce Sterling's book _Hacker
Crackdown_. The CFP audience is as diverse as the Net itself, with
attendees from the community of computer professionals, hackers,
crackers and engineers who work the code of cyberspace as well
as those from government, business, education, and non-profits
grappling with the technology's public policy implications.
CFP is run on a non-profit basis under the auspices of the
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). All the planning work
is done by volunteers - contributing to its wonderfully collaborative
atmosphere.
March 14 is the deadline for early registration -- fees go up
thereafter. Hotel discounts end on March 16.

California Attorney General Bill Lockyer, US Federal Trade
Commission Chairman Timothy Muris, author James Bamford, John

of Commerce for Communications Larry Irving, and author Bruce
Sterling, among others.

"PATRIOT and Privacy" to discuss the implications of the USA
PATRIOT Act on communications monitoring by law enforcement.

policy challenges activists face around the globe and how those
issues are being debated and regulated in a session called

* Associate Director Alan Davidson will moderate a panel on
"ICANN in Year 3" to debate whether ICANN's promise as a
bottom-up global self-governing Internet body is actually possible.
* CDT Staff Counsel John Morris will moderate a session on the
open source movement and the standards process, which is
expected to feature input from publisher and open source guru

issues on the Internet in his always-popular tutorial "Constitutional
Law in Cyberspace."
