[I was scheduled to participate in this event organized by the Silicon
Valley Association of Startup Entrepreneurs but, alas, won't be able to
make it. It promises to be an excellent discussion, and I urge Politech
members in the area to stop by. --Declan]

THE MAIN EVENT:
SVASE Monthly Meeting
Privacy: Where's the Profit?
Microsoft Campus, Mountain View
Thursday, July 12, 2001, 6 pm
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of startup business plans are based on
exploiting privacy technologies. Technologies that protect privacy --- as
well as business plans based on those that undermine it --- seem to come
out nearly every week. Existing or proposed federal privacy laws will have
a huge impact on whether those plans ever succeed.
This extraordinarily high-powered panel of experts will sort through the
issues and tell you what they view as the key issues for entrepreneurs
facing - or hoping to make money from - the rules and regulations of
electronic privacy.
Our keynote speaker and moderator JIM HARPER, based in Washington, DC, is
one of the world's preeminent experts in privacy policy. He is the founder
and principal of PolicyCounsel.Com, a lobbying and consulting firm focused
on e-commerce, technology, and telecommunications. He is the founder of
Privacilla.org, the only online think-tank devoted to privacy as a public
policy issue. Mr. Harper served as counsel to committees in both the United
States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. He now works
to help Congress and regulators understand the New Economy. In his
presentation to SVASE, Jim will unpack the complex concept of privacy and
discuss the thinking and plans of legislators, regulators, and advocates.
Progress & Freedom Foundation (<http://www.pff.org/>http://www.pff.org/)
recently named Jim as an Adjunct Fellow.
MARK UNCAPHER is Vice President and Counsel of the Information Technology
Association of America, responsible for ITAA s Internet Commerce &
Communications Division. The more than 100 members of the division include:
Amazon.com, AOLTime Warner, AT&T, Boeing, Cable & Wireless, Covad
Communications, EDS, Exodus, Focal Communications, Fujitsu Limited, Global
Crossings, IBM, MCI WorldCom, Metromedia Fiber Network, Microsoft, Nortel
Networks, SunGard Data, Teligent, and Yahoo. Uncapher argues that the issue
is not about whether to protect consumer privacy on the Internet -- that is
what the public expects and what Internet companies are determined to
provide -- the challenge is to identify the best and most profitable ways
to do so.
DAVE KRAMER is a litigation partner with the reknowned law firm Wilson
Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. On the privacy front, Kramer has worked
extensively with technology pioneers such as Google and Netscape,
developing startups such as Napster and Yodlee, and new online entrants
like Orbitz, Cogit and Enviz. Mr. Kramer will discuss the biggest threats
companies currently face in the privacy arena, including privacy regulation.
