Dear all,
just to remind you about this, which came out of Reston. If you feel
good about it, please, send them an e-mail with some short paper.
Call for Participation: Trust and the Future of the Internet
The Internet Society (ISOC) Board of Trustees is currently engaged in
a discovery process to define a long term Major Strategic Initiative
to ensure that the Internet of the future remains accessible to
everyone. The Board believes that Trust is an essential component of
all successful relationships and that an erosion of Trust: in
individuals, networks, or computing platforms, will undermine the
continued health and success of the Internet.
The Board will meet in special session the first week October of 2007
for intensive study focused on the subject of trust within the
context of network enabled relationships. As part of this process,
the Board is hereby issuing a call for subject experts who can
participate in the two day discussion. Topics of interest include:
the changing nature of trust, security, privacy, control and
protection of personal data, methods for establishing authenticity
and providing assurance, management of threats, and dealing with
unwanted traffic.
Participants will be selected based on a short paper summarizing
individual interests and qualifications as well as availability. The
retreat will be held in Toronto, Ontario (CA) . Travel and
accommodation costs will be covered by ISOC and participants should
expect to arrive October 4th and depart on the 6th or 7th.
Expressions of interest may be emailed to:
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and papers should not exceed three pages. Papers must received by
August 24th, 2007 and the Program Committee will make their
selections on or before September 7th, 2007. Subject experts will be
allotted one hour for presentation on October 5th and will be
included in the days round-table discussions. In order to facilitate
open discussion, final presentation materials should be forwarded to
ISOC no later than September 21st, 2007.
We look forward to a lively and informative meeting on this important
topic and encourage you to share this announcement with your
communities of interest."
