Internet Society -- DC
Privacy in the Brave New World
Wednesday, January, 12, 2000 7:00-9:00 PM

Privacy. A broad topic that touches all of us in so many ways and raises 
lots of concerns. In 2000, electronic privacy issues are reaching crisis 
proportions. Some people are looking out for us, while others are looking 
at us.

Is the government going through our email and listening to all of our phone 
calls? If so, is that OK because of the threats of terrorism and gangsters? 
How much control should vendors have over the use and dissemination of 
information about us; how much should we?

To hear opinions on multiple sides of the issues, come to DC Chapter of The 
Internet Society public roundtable meeting on January 12, 2000, 7-9 p.m., 
at Tysons Corner, Virginia. Listen to top experts. Ask questions, state 
your views. We guarantee you an informative, lively roundtable session with 
these three speakers, who approach the subject from three different 
viewpoints:

  -- Declan McCullagh -- Washington bureau chief for Wired News, and an 
award winning
  journalist. He also writes the washington dot com column for George 
magazine, and is a
  regular contributor to intellectualcapital.com. McCullagh moderates 
politech, a discussion
  list looking broadly at politics and technology. He also was a plaintiff 
in the ACLU lawsuit
  challenging the Communications Decency Act, ruled unconstitional by the 
Supreme
  Court.

  -- Kawika Daguio -- Executive Vice President of the Financial Info 
Protection Association
  (FIPA), an organization dedicated to helping individuals, firms, and 
governments work
  together protecting sensitive financial information while promoting 
commerce. He was the
  Chief Lobbyist for the American Bankers Association for technology and 
payment
  systems, and brokered deals with the government allowing banks to use strong
  encryption. Daguio was also heavily involved in critical infrastructure, 
digital telephony,
  and Year 2000 policy.

  -- Steven Chabinsky -- Assistant General Counsel, Office of the General 
Counsel, FBI. He
  also serves as the Principal Legal Advisor to the National 
Infrastructure Protection Center
  (NIPC), and has worked extensively on privacy and Freedom of Information 
Act issues in
  the critical infrastructure protection arena.

  With that lineup of speakers, this is a meeting you won't want to miss.
