I wanted to let people know that Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility annual conference is October 16th in Georgetown. The conference title is "A Report Card on US Policies for the Information Society". Experts from academia, civil society organizations, and the private sector will analyze the administration's performance on a variety of ICT issues and each give a "grade" on the merits. Later in the conference, these grades will be aggregated and averaged in a "Report Card"---a big picture overview of and cumulative final grade on current US policy.
There is a Reception following the conference honoring Barry Steinhardt of the ACLU's Program on Technology and Liberty. CPSR is a public-interest alliance of computer scientists and others concerned about the impact of computer technology on society.It is one of the most dynamic organizations working for cyber rights and the socially responsible use of computers.
