DCSB meets once a month for lunch at the Harvard Club in Boston to hear a speaker and discuss the implications of rapidly emerging internet and cryptographic technologies on finance and commerce -- "Digital Commerce", in short. Interest has been expressed in starting a similar organization here in New York. I'm therefore pleased to announce the initial meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of New York (DCS-NY). We intend to meet the second Tuesday of each month for lunch, probably at the Harvard Club in New York, and conduct meetings much like those of DCSB. If you are interested in attending our first luncheon meeting, which will be held on June 9th, or if you wish to be informed of future meetings by e-mail please send an RSVP to "dcs-ny-rsvp@piermont.com" We will send out an announcement in about another week informing people of the final choice of venue and the cost for the lunch.
