Dave,

I hope you will consider this message for the IP list serve.

This fall the ACLU will be opening a new office in Silicon Valley. The 
decision to open a regional office of the ACLU of Northern California 
in the San Jose/Silicon Valley recognizes that the Valley is home to 
many of the most important technology companies and institutions in the 
nation. It has its own media market, political networks and coalition 
structures, and six strategically important members of Congress.

The office will be staffed by a full-time public policy advocate, a 
full time organizer, and a full time support person. The public policy 
advocate will be the first to be hired. It will be the role of the 
public policy advocate to bring a civil liberties perspective to 
decisions being made in both the private and the public sectors 
regarding technology and privacy. The public policy advocate will work 
closely with the legal staff of our San Francisco office as well as 
their communications and field departments. He or she will also have 
significant interaction with our Sacramento legislative office and with 
the national ACLU's Technology and Liberty Project.

If there are list members who are interested in this position or know 
someone who might be, a complete job description and application 
information is available at

Thanks,

Barry Steinhardt
