Kyllo: Taking the 5th on the 4th
by Steve Schear 06 Jul '01

06 Jul '01

Although the ruling only appears to apply to one's home it does raise questions whether citizens may have the right to prevent their observation while in public. After all one is permitted tinted windows on autos. Despite certain city/county ordinances why not masks or helmets with tinted faceplates. What if exoskeletons become practical? Shouldn't they be treated the same as an auto? steve

7/10 State of the Net Forum : "Toward a Framework for Internet Accountability" · Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2001 14:28:14 -0400 · To: update(a)cdt.org · Subject: 7/10 State of the Net Forum : "Toward a Framework for Internet Accountability" · From: ari(a)cdt.org You are cordially invited to a luncheon discussion "Toward a Framework for Internet Accountability", Tuesday, July 10 beginning at 12:00 noon. This event, hosted by the Internet Education Foundation (IEF), will explore the Markle Foundation's new study, "Toward a Framework for Internet \Accountability." The study, to be released Tuesday morning, finds that at a time of intense debate over key Internet policy Americans are enthusiastic about the Internet, but that they are eager to have new forms of public, private, and non-profit governance of the Internet in order to give them more protection and control when they go online. WHAT: "Toward a Framework for Internet Accountability", IEF State of the Net Series WHO: Zoe Baird, Markle Foundation Stan Greenberg, Greenberg, Quinlan, and Rosner Research with appearances by Leaders of the Internet Caucus WHERE: Reserve Officers Association One Constitution Ave, NE, Across from Dirksen Senate Office Building WHEN: Tuesday, July 10, from 12 NOON to 1:30 pm (Lunch served) RSVP: If planning to attend RSVP(a)neted.org or via phone to Danielle 202-638-4370. About the State of the Net Series "Toward a Framework for Internet Accountability" is the second in a series of discussions on the "State of the Net" hosted by IEF. The "State of the Net" project seeks to examine the policy and governance framework needed to assure that the Internet reaches its fullest commercial, communications and democratic potential. IEF believes that an assessment of the "State of the Net" is long overdue. The goal of the project is to take a "snapshot" of where we are in the development of the Internet. This snapshot will serve as a benchmark for measuring progress or lack thereof - in Internet policy. More information about "The State of the Net" project can be found at http://www.Stateofthe.Net About the Markle Foundation The Markle Foundation works to realize the potential of emerging communications media and information technology to improve people's lives and recently unveiled a new program focus and $100 million commitment to do so. The foundation's work is focused in three primary areas: Policy for a Networked Society, Interactive Media for Children, and Information Technologies for Better Health. Markle pursues its goals through a range of activities including analysis, research, public information and the development of innovative media products and services. The foundation creates and operates many of its own projects-using not only grants but also investments and strategic alliances with non-profits and businesses. More information on the Markle Foundation can be found at www.markle.org. About the Internet Education Foundation The Internet Education Foundation (IEF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public and policymakers about the potential of a decentralized global Internet to promote democracy, communications, and commerce.
