[At last year's CFP, we had a Politech dinner (http://www.politechbot.com/events/cfp2002/) that turned out quite well (http://www.mccullagh.org/theme/politech-dinner-apr02.html). Anyone up for a similar Politech dinner in New York in a month? I'd welcome recommendations for reasonable restaurants that are within a short walk of the hotel at 481 Eighth Ave. --Declan] --- Date: Fri, 07 Mar 2003 13:24:18 -0500 To: Declan McCullagh <declanat_private> From: Barry Steinhardt <BSteinhardtat_private> Subject: CFP 2003 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Declan, I hope you will post this message about the Computers, Freedom and Privacy Conference to Politech. I know you will be attending and we would love to have as many Politechers there as possible. Thanks, Barry Steinhardt Dear Friends of the Computers Freedom and Privacy Conference: The date is rapidly approaching for the 13th Annual Computers Freedom and Privacy Conference. CFP 2003 will be held in New York City from April 2-4. This year's CFP will focus on the Freedom to Move, Think and Speak. I urge you to go online at www.cfp2003.org and register today. We are making a special effort this year to hold events in a variety of formats. Exciting events include: · A debate on the Pentagon’s Information Awareness Program · The “Moral Maze”-- a role playing session where both privacy advocates and their opponents are confronted with dilemmas that put their principles to the test · A video surveillance tour of Manhattan by the “Surveillance Camera Players” · Conservative Congressman Bob Barr on why he is a privacy advocate · A recreation of the Yahoo case that tests the meaning of American concepts of free speech on the global Internet · The results of the “Silly Security Contest” and a keynote by security expert Bruce Schneier, which in very different ways, will illustrate the difference between smart and dumb security · Framing speeches by Canadian Privacy Commissioner George Radwanksi and Cyber Policy visionary Larry Lessig · Up to the minute briefings on the “Patriot II” bill and the future of Computers Freedom and Privacy after 9/11 And of course you can learn about, discuss, and debate many other topics, from how new intellectual property regimes will determine the future of free speech on the Internet, to trusted computing, to Internet filtering programs, to how technology is used by dictatorships. You can register for CFP 2003 on the conference Web site at: www.cfp2003.org. The early registration fee is still available, so act now. I am looking forward to meeting you in Manhattan in April.
