Title: Fwd: Re: MCN 2005 and MCN 2006
I second Suzanne's suggestion of Lawrence Lessig.
Lest you think Lessig's focus on IP is not broad enough for the entire
MCN constituency, let me assure you (having heard him speak many times
now) that he draws technology into his presentations, since it is the
tension between technology and access to creative works that
forms the core of his interests.

PS - To give credit where credit is due, it is Amalyah Keshet who
forwards all of Lessig's Creative Commons posts to this list.
She tirelessly tracks this stuff...

Hi Marla, et al,
I was very pleased to hear from several
attendees that this year's conference was a great success.
Congratulations to all!
I just returned from a stimulating
evening produced by the NY Bar Association. I am VERY grateful to
Diane Zorich for passing on the notice of the event to the listserve.
One of the speakers was Lawrence Lessig - and I have to say, he was
great. Sadly he didn't have much time to expound - but as we can see
from his postings on the list (also forwarded by Diane!), he is
articulate, passionate, intelligent and easy to understand. I highly
recommend him, and now nominate him, as the keynote
speaker.

Hello
everyone,
Thank you
to all who participated in the annual meeting in Boston last
week!
It was a
rousing success by all accounts. The sessions
I attended
were all outstanding, and the networking opportunities were
helpful on
so many levels. It was wonderful to see so many of us in one
place
after a
year of being in touch in cyberspace.
I'm sure
you're as excited as I am that we will soon have a new MCN
website!
In the
meantime, though, we are hoping to perk up the old one, one last
time.
Send in
your conference photos!
I would
like to ask a favor of those of you who attended and snapped photos at
the meeting.
If you are
willing to share them on the website, please send them to i...@mcn.edu, or
send
an email
with the URLs if you have them on your own website. The photos will
be
reviewed
for part of a conference photo album. While I can't guarantee every
photo will be
used, I
welcome any and all submissions of conference activity photos and we
will credit
you
(assuming our pages allow for that sort of thing) on the
site.
Keynote
speaker nominations
We are
looking for keynote speaker nominations for the 2006 conference in
Pasadena.
If you know
of a dynamic, charismatic speaker (especially one whom you've seen
in the past)
who works
in or around our areas of interest,
please
forward any suggestions to me via email. We offer an honorarium for
the speaker,
although as
you might guess we are not offering a huge sum. So Bill Gates is
probably out.
But do send
me your thoughts and ideas and help us get going on the process.
Obviously
I can't
guarantee the person you nominate will be chosen, but the more
nominations we
have, the
better the process will be.
Thanks very
much for your time continued enthusiasm!
