Open invitation to attend...
by Jim choate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi all, RoboFest 6 will be held in Austin, TX this fall (the exact date is not final at this time) and I have been advised that my request for TWS to participate has been granted. I would like to extend an invitation to any C-punks out there who will be in the area at that time (exact date will be posted when I get it) are invited to attend. It should be possible to have at least a couple of opportunities for giving speeches or demos if so desired. If this sounds like something you are interested in doing please let me know between now and Jan 1. Hope to see some of you here... Plunk! Ravage (Info)Highway To Hell

Shareware, I even registered it :-) Dave Merriman

Zimmermann/NSA debate postponed
by Philip Zimmermann 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The debate between Philip Zimmermann and Clinton Brooks from NSA has been postponed. The debate organizers, the World Affairs Council decided today (Tuesday) that there were not enough attendees preregistered to proceed with the debate at this time. The debate had been scheduled for Thursday, 25 August, in Thousand Oaks, California. A major conference organized by the World Affairs Council, scheduled for 27 October, will have the debate included in the conference. When those plans firm up, there will be detailed announcements with more lead time. I'm sorry if this change in plans inconveniences anyone who planned to attend the debate, but I had nothing to do with their decision. --Philip Zimmermann

1994 Digital Telephony Bill campaign
by Shabbir J. Safdar 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The Voters Telecomm Watch has officially taken a position against the 1994 Digital Telephony Bill. It's not that we're slow, but it's taken time to reach a consensus (and even reach the board members), to compose all our materials, and gear up for the fight. In opposing this bill, I hope to exceed our efforts of "watching" with the Cantwell bill. If you followed that bill, you'll remember that we attemtped to notify the Net community before every vote with accurate information including sample letters, phone numbers, bill histories, and legislator positions. We had a few problems (legislators with changing addresses and phone numbers, voice votes that leave no record that we could tie to the legislator) but we also had many successes. We'll be doing the same thing (even better, I hope) this time with the Digital Telephony bill. We're going to try something new though. This message will be sent to all the mailing lists we usually use on our announce list. If you have access to news, check the following newsgroups: alt.activism alt.conspiracy alt.mag2600 alt.politics.datahighway alt.politics.libertarian alt.privacy.clipper alt.wired comp.org.cpsr.talk comp.org.eff.talk comp.risks comp.society.cu-digest comp.society.privacy misc.activism.progressive talk.politics.crypto (Crossposting will be done carefully, so people with decent newsreaders only see these alerts once) I'll be forwarding this to the following mailing lists, who will be removed from the vtw-announce(a)vtw.org mailing list: cypherpunks(a)toad.com eff-activists(a)eff.org eff-crypto(a)eff.org thesegroups(a)tic.com nii_agenda(a)civicnet.org com-priv(a)psi.com risks(a)csl.sri.com rre-maintainers(a)weber.ucsd.edu cpsr-berkeley(a)cpsr.org Please do not forward this announcement to the above lists, they have already seen it. A number of people complained that the political announcements we were sending were off topic for the lists during the Cantwell campaign, so I hope this is a reasonable compromise. If you do not have access to Usenet news, please feel free to subscribe to the announce or the working lists at vtw-list-request(a)vtw.org. -Shabbir
