Professor Farber:

As you may remember, late last summer I contacted you to ask if you  
had the time and inclination to prepare a short essay on the subject  
of deep packet inspection, preferably with some connection to the  
interplay between privacy, data protection and modern network  
technologies.

I contacted approximately thirty other experts, and a total of sixteen  
had the opportunity to submit an essay.

Far too many months later, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of  
Canada has published this collection online. You can find it at:

http://dpi.priv.gc.ca

The french version can be found at:

http://iap.priv.gc.ca

Links have been built into the site (on the right) to point readers to  
other sources, like Dr. Reed's testimony last summer.

You'll note that this site is different from most government research  
projects: it presents an opportunity for readers to comment, excerpt  
and even vote on essays that interest or frustrate them.

I also have to note that there are some final issues to resolve in  
terms of urls and crosslinks between the english and french versions.  
These will be resolved by tomorrow.

We are also in the final stages of preparing a print version of these  
essays: we expect to have this finished by the end of April.
