Other areas do provoke public concern, but pornography on the Internet is and has been a major focus of national debate for quite some time. Recognizing this issue, the U.S. Congress asked the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academies (which include the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine) to examine tools and strategies for protecting kids from pornography and their applicability to other inappropriate material on the internet. To facilitate its study of the relevant issues, the NRC's Committee on Tools and Strategies for Protecting Kids from Pornography and Their Applicability to Other Inappropriate Material on the Internet seeks white papers from interested parties on topics relevant to this issue, as well as a number of other kinds of input. Details on submitting white papers or other input, as well as more information on the project, can be found at http://www.itasnrc.org. In particular, the topics of interest to the committee can be found at this site, as well as the requirements for submission. Many topics of interest are listed, and prospective authors can choose topics not listed as well.) Contact the project director for more information. Herb Lin itas () nas edu 202-334-2605
