C-punx, The following was retyped from SCIENCE magazine (vol 265:p691). I haven't seen it in E-circulation, and thought it would be of revelance to the recent discussion of remailer liability. Anyone out there feel like standing up to express one of the many Cypherpunk points of view in front of the ABA and the AAAS? I'd be curious to know who is attending from any of our favorite TLA's? This looks like just the kind of forum they might use to drop ominous hints about their real intentions. It would be good for there to be C-punk observers there at the very least. Someone with a better usenet feed might want to repost this to the usual newsgroups. IMPORTANT NOTE: Application deadline, August 19th 5pm EST Computer Issues: Call for Applications Applications are invited for participation in the second conference on "Legal, Ethical, and Technological Aspects of Network Use and Abuse" cosponsored by the National Conference of Lawyers and Scientists, a joint committee of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Bar Association. The workshop, scheduled for 7 to 9 October 1994 at a conference center not far from Washington DC, will weigh ideas about what is acceptable behavior in a shared computer environment. Discussions will center on three themes: 1) determining accountablilty and liabiltiy for network content; 2) defining what network content is "public" and what is "private"; and 3) what ethical, legal, and administrative frameworks should be employed for the global information infrastructure. Up to three successful applicants will receive expenses to attend the workshop, which will have 40 participants from a variety of perspectives and disciplines. Each applicant must submit a 1000-word paper addressing one of the three themes above (the papers will be circulated prior to the meeting), a short resume or biographical sketch, and a brief statement of how one's expertise or perspective might contribute to the meeting. The application deadline is 19 August at 5pm EST. E-mail responses are preferred. Those selected will be notified by 9 September.
