CFP2006: The Sixteenth Conference on Computers, Freedom & Privacy L'Enfant Plaza Hotel Washington, DC, USA May 2-5, 2006
CALL FOR PROPOSALS The Program Committee of the Sixteenth Conference on Computers, Freedom, and Privacy (CFP2006) seeks your proposals for innovative conference sessions and speakers. The Computers, Freedom & Privacy Conference has been a leading venue for public debate on the future of privacy and freedom in the online world for a decade and a half. Each year, key representatives from government, business, education, and non-profits including the legal, law enforcement, security, media, consumer, and individual hobbyist communities have gathered together to anticipate policy trends and issues and to help map the future of society in the online world. Attendees will meet again this coming May to address cutting edge questions and issues in computing, freedom and privacy. CFP has been held in different cities over the years, from San Francisco to Toronto to Chicago to Austin. This year the conference once again will be held in Washington, D.C., which continues to offer an unusual mix of policy and legal experts and resources to draw upon. This conference will not be limited to discussions of United States-based parties and interests, however -- consistent with its history, CFP expects to draw participants and events from around the world, addressing the forces that continue to shape the global Internet as well as well as other issues raised by our increasingly pervasive technological environment. As always, the conference hopes to examine the role the Internet is playing in democratic activism at all levels: local, national, and global. We welcome proposals on all aspects of computers, freedom, and privacy. We strongly encourage proposals that explore some of the most important issues facing the Internet and freedom, including: intellectual property and intellectual freedom; copyright versus technologies that make copying cheap or free; 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; digital rights management and privacy; public records and private lives. We are seeking proposals for tutorials, plenary sessions, workshops, technical demonstrations, and birds-of-a-feather sessions. We are also seeking suggestions for speakers and topics. Sessions should present a wide range of thinking on a topic by including speakers from different viewpoints. Complete submission instructions appear on the CFP2006 web site at: http://www.cfp2006.org All submissions must be received by January 31, 2006. Proposals will be reviewed by the CFP2006 Program Committee and Advisory Board. The Program Committee will notify submitters of the status of proposals no later than March 1, 2006. _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
