co-sponsored by Stanford CIS
May 20-22, 2005
Stanford University
Stanford, CA, USA
"The Second Conference on Online Deliberation: Design, Research, and Practice, will bring together software developers, social science researchers, and practioners of online deliberation for three days of presentations and workshops on the Stanford University campus in May of 2005. Following up on an earlier conference, "Developing and Using Online Tools for Deliberative Democracy," held at Carnegie Mellon University in June of 2003, we would like at this meeting to discuss the possible creation of a new society for online deliberation with an international membership, to support cross-disciplinary scholarship, principled design, and informed practice in the use of online environments for group deliberation and democratic participation. This conference is also the latest in a series of conferences on Directions and Implications in Advanced Computing (DIAC), presented in association with the Public Sphere Project (a CPSR Initiative)."
BloggerCon III at Stanford Nov 6.
BloggerCon III
November 6, 2004
Stanford Law School
Free and Open for All
We’re pleased to announce that BloggerCon III will be November 6, 2004 at Stanford Law School in Palo Alto, CA.
Choosing the Saturday after the Tuesday of the US election for BloggerCon III was not accidental. A common theme at all the BloggerCons has been blogging’s potential to effect the political process. We decided to wait until right after the campaign of 2004 concluded, when its events remained freshest in our minds--this way people who are actively involved in US politics will be able to join us to discuss the role that blogs and citizen journalism played in the election.
We will, of course, continue threads started in previous conferences-- there will be sessions on blogging in education, science, the arts, and in daily life. BloggerCon is a user’s conference about technology. It’s not a meeting where technology amazes, rather, it’s a forum for discussing how the use of this technology can effect change.
The cost to participate is $0. Please register at the URL below, to reserve your space, and so we can communicate with people who will be there. Registration is limited (based on maximum seating capacity), so register now.

As individuals do more – shopping, talking, working – on-line, they leave private information behind in databases stored on Internet-connected servers. Companies store proprietary data on networked servers connected to the Internet. Computer security experts struggle to develop technology and best practices to protect this information from unauthorized intruders or inadvertent leaks. Are private initiatives sufficient to protect private and confidential information, or should the law allocate the responsibility of keeping the server secure, and if so, on whom? And will the imposition of this legal and economic burden impede further exponential advances like those the computer industry has made in the past decade?

This conference explores the relationship between computer security, privacy, and disclosure of information about security vulnerabilities.
September 11th gave new urgency to the debate over whether information collection and dissemination is dangerous or empowering. One view is that vulnerability information should be kept secret and out of the hands of potential criminals and foreign agents. Another view is that the public needs to be informed about security weaknesses, so that people can take appropriate precautions and so that there will be a constituency to pressure for the rapid repair of vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, policy makers...

Spectrum policy is undergoing a fundamental reorientation in the United States and elsewhere. An emerging consensus holds that the traditional system of governmentally-allocated spectrum rights inhibits innovation and competition. The central question now facing policy makers is what form of spectrum management should replace the existing system.
The Policy Implications of End-to-End
Sponsored by Stanford CIS

Stanford University
Stanford, CA, USA
During the course of the day, technologists, policy makers and lawyers will explore the values implicit in the e2e design, and then attempt to understand the consequences of deviating from e2e in the context of particular network applications-consequences both for innovation on the Internet, as well as for other values that end-to-end might support. The aim of the workshop is not to endorse end-to-end as an overriding design principle, but rather to develop a language within which policy makers can understand the consequences of different architectural designs.
