[Fwd] For anyone in the SF Bay Area who is even mildly interested in the privacy discussion, I highly recommend that you attend a public affairs-style discussion on Internet privacy to be held at The Commonwealth Club on Thursday, October 26, from 5:15 -- 7:15pm. The discussion will be moderated by John Markoff of The New York Times. Panelists include: Bob Lewin, President and CEO of TRUSTe; Marc Rotenberg, Exec. Dir. of EPIC; FTC Commissioner Mozelle Thompson; and Chris Kelly, Chief Privacy Officer for Excite@Home. Together, the panel represents the five points that are driving the privacy discussion: the media, self-regulation, government, industry, and advocacy. Let's see if they can agree on anything. Go to The Commonwealth Club site (www.commonwealthclub.org) for ticket information... See you there.
