Dear Declan,
I hope that this message finds you well. If possible, I would like to distribute the following Call for Authors on the Politech list.

Legal Issues in Information Technology
SANS Institute's Legal Issues in Information Technology ("LIIT") is a six
day course providing attorneys and technicians with an in-depth knowledge of
the major legal issues raised by Information Technology. Each day is
separated into six main topics, and each day's material is organized to
build upon information provided in the previous day's lecture. By the end of
the course, participants will have an in depth knowledge of the issues that
shape Information Technology Law and how these matters affect future
technologies. For more information, please contact Mark G. Milone (milone at
mindspring.com).LIIT Authors & Lecturers
The SANS Institute is seeking attorneys to develop course material that will
serve as the foundation of its new course "Legal Issues in Information
Technology" ("LIIT"). In the first phase of this project, authors will
create PowerPoint presentations that will subsequently be used by lecturers
for the 6 day course. Although authors will be given a chance to lecture on
the course material they prepare, additional lecturers will be subsequently
selected by SANS. The course is tentatively scheduled to be offered some
time after January 2004 in various locations throughout the U.S.Course Material
LIIT course material will be comprised of PowerPoint slides and must be presented by authors in completed form by December 31, 2003. In this first phase, SANS is asking for authors to present a paragraph discussing their main topic by November 15, 2003. Each main topic should also be separated into 6 subtopics (as discussed in "Selecting Topics" below). Authors are encouraged to develop a full day's worth of material and an additional $1000 will be provided to authors who develop a full day's worth of material (i.e. 192 slides with complete notes, as discussed below). After written approval of finalized topics and slides and execution of the SANS Author Agreement, SANS will remunerate authors on a per slide basis ($33/slide).
Selecting Topics
Basically, authors must suggest a main topic in a concise paragraph and break this topic into six subtopics. Once approved, each subtopic must present an hour worth of material, so please be careful when breaking main topics into subtopics. As a general matter, an hour worth of material is approximately 30 slides; therefore, a full days course should be approximately 192 slides (180 slides for the six subtopics and 2 "introductory" slides introducing each subtopic - this is more fully described in the SANS Author Guidelines, which will be provided upon acceptance of author topics). As a general matter, the average slide should have at least four bullet points. Each bullet point should have about a paragraph of text in the "Notes" window describing the applicable bullet point. Each slide, therefore, should present about two minutes of worth of lecturing material. As a final matter, authors must use the LIIT PowerPoint file as a template when creating slides.
Next Steps
Moving forward, please contact Mark G. Milone to review proposed topics. Authors will be selected by SANS in its sole discretion. Once we get rolling a little bit, Mark will contact you to arrange a conference call with all authors and discuss lecturing at the program.
Thank you, once again, for your interest in this exciting project! Do not hesitate to call if you have any questions.
