Westin Columbia University Conference Administration by John Marshall Law School: Arrangements Director, RoseMarie Knight Publicity & Publications, John McNamara Financial Officer, James Kreminski Program Coordinator, Gary Gassman "CYBERSPACE SUPERHIGHWAYS: ACCESS, ETHICS and CONTROL Cyberspace, Information Superhighway, National Information Infrastructure, Open Platforms, Computer and Communications Revolution, Electronic Networks, Digital Data Bases and Information Society are words and phrases common to the rhetoric of our modern era. The relationships between and among individuals, society, nations, government entities and business organizations are in constant flux as new stresses and alliances change the old "rules of the game." Today's challenges are to define what is the "game," who owns the "franchises," who can play, what are the rules and who calls the shots. Information and communications technology raise new issues for freedom and privacy in this new era. Such questions are on the agenda as the participants in CFP'94 consider the alternatives and seek some solutions. Come, join in the dialogue that will help to shape the world's future! PRE-CONFERENCE TUTORIALS On Wednesday March 23, the day before the formal onference begins, CFP '94 is offering a number of in-depth tutorials covering a wide variety of subjects on five parallel tracks. These presentations will be interesting, educational, thought-provoking and often controversial. The tutorials are available at a nominal additional registration cost. CONFERENCE NEWSPAPER On each of the three days of the conference, a daily newspaper will appear to highlight what has transpired and announce important coming events. The staff of "The Decisive Utterance," The John Marshall Law School's student newspaper, is providing this service. CONFERENCE RECEPTION AND TECHNOLOGY DISPLAY On Wednesday evening, from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., you are invited to meet new and old friends and colleagues at an opening reception at the John Marshall Law School from 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. The School is only two blocks from the conference hotel. A state-of-the-art computer lab will be used to demonstrate high-tech applications in academia and registrants will be invited to take part. SINGLE-TRACK MAIN PROGRAM The technological revolution that is driving change in our society has many facets and we are often unaware of the way they all fit together, especially those parts that lie outside one's own daily experience. An important goal of CFP '94 is to bring together individuals from disparate disciplines and backgrounds and engage them in a balanced discussion of CFP issues. To this end our main program, starting on Thursday, March 24, is on a single track enabling registrants to attend all sessions. The concurrent Birds- of-a-Feather meetings Thursday after 9:15 p.m. are exceptions. BIRDS OF A FEATHER SESSIONS (BoF) CFP '94 will provide a limited number of meeting rooms to interested individuals for informal "Birds of a Feather" sessions after the formal program Thursday, from 9:15 p.m. - 11:15 p.m. These sessions will provide an opportunity for special-interest discussions. For further information or to request a BoF contact CFP '94 Program Coordinator, Gary Gassman, at the John Marshall Law School (6gassman@jmls.edu) MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY GALA Registrants are invited to a very special reception and buffet at Chicago's famed Museum of Science and Industry where they also will be treated to a private showing and demonstration of the MSI's newly-opened Communications and Imaging Exhibits. These multi- million dollar presentations occupy 15,000 sq.ft. of museum space and required three years to develop. "Communications" is a panoramic display of how technology has transformed our lives by dissolving distance and and making connections; visitors can even enter the unreal world of virtual reality. "Imaging" is a mind- boggling journey through modern applications of imaging technology. Visitors can even play the role of brain surgeon, using radiosurgery made possible by 3-D imaging, or explore imaging in forensic science by using MRI, fingerprint enhancement, face aging and other modern technologies to solve a crime! REGISTRATION WILL BE LIMITED CFP '94 registration will be limited to 550 attendees, so we advise you to register early to assure admission and to take advantage of the early registration discounts. MEALS AND RECEPTIONS A key component of the CFP conferences has been the interaction between the diverse communities that constitute our audience. To promote this interaction CFP '94 provides three luncheons, three receptions and three evening meals with the price of registration. EFF PIONEER AWARDS All conference attendees are invited to the EFF Pioneer Awards Reception sponsored by the Electronic Frontier Foundation on Thursday evening. These, the third annual EFF Pioneer Awards, will be given to individuals and organizations that have made distinguished contributions to the human and technological realms touched by computer-based communications. CONFERENCE BUSINESS OFFICE The Conference business and registration office will be open from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. on Wednsday thru Friday, and until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, for registration and general information. NOTE: The following program content and schedule is subject to change. The Information Superhighway is a fast track! Wednesday, March 23, 1994 Pre-Conference Tutorials 9:00 a.m. - noon Cyberspace Law for Non-Lawyers This tutorial presents an outline of the law for laymen, dealing with Constitutional and legal issues that confront those concerned with privacy, crime, and freedom of expression in cyberspace. There will be summaries of recent cases, legislative proposals and government activities. Mike Godwin, Online Counsel, EFF Rules of the Road for Network Travelers. (CLE Credit Approved) The information superhighway presents a variety of rights and risks. Learn about the legal issues of computer networks, services and bulletin boards, including on-line property rights; protecting personal privacy and business information; electronic publishing and multimedia rights; viruses, adult materials and other no-nos. Lance Rose, Attorney and Author of "Syslaw." Get Mad, Get Motivated, Get Moving! The focus of this panel is on citizen action for privacy protection: how to reach and organize constituents; support legislation or other privacy protection measures; conduct public education activities; use the technology in program activities, etc. Robert Ellis Smith, Privacy Journal Exploring Internet: A Guided Tour This tutorial gives participants a practical introduction to the most popular and powerful applications available via the world's largest computer network, the Internet. There will be hands-on demonstrations of communications tools such as e- mail, conferencing, Internet Relay Chat and resource discover, and navigations aids such as Gopher, WAIS, Archie and World Wide Web. Extensive documentation will be provided. Mark Graham, Pandora Systems Using the Freedom of Information Act The Federal FOIA is the principal focus of this tutorial though some attention is given to the use of state FOIAs. The session will cover procedures for making requests, identifying the information desired, differences between electronic and hard copy responses, and the appeals process within agencies and the courts. David Sobel, Counsel, Computer Professional for Social Responsibility 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Cryptography: What, and How? Data encryption is in the cyberspace limelight as perhaps the only technique to ensure digital privacy and security; it is also the subject of sharp debate regarding control of the development and use of the technology. This tutorial will display what encryption is, how it works, and some of the options for its use. Computer animations and graphic displays will be used to help make cryptography comprehensible; the audience will engage in some hands-on encryption exercises. Mark Hellmann, Pattishall, McAuliffe et.al, Chicago Electronic Detectives: Critical Issues for Public and Private Investigators. Both governmental and private sector investigators have unprecedented access to "open" sources that were practically inaccessible a few years ago. This information environment poses opportunities and risks that will be the focus of this program. Investigative techniques via networks will be demonstrated and the legal, ethical and practical issues will be explored. Actual case-studies will be utilized. Michael Moran, CCO; Michael Robertson, CFE Hi-Tech Intellectual Property Law Primer (CLE Credit Approved) This panel will cover the special problems in patent, copyright and tradmark law engendered by computers and digital technology, with attention to the impact of recent cases. The differences in European protection will be surveyed as well as technology export restrictions. Raymond Nimmer, University of Texas Law School Leslie A. Bertagnolli, Baker & McKenzie, Chicago Transactional Data Analyses: Making FOI Access Useful Electronic communication, coupled with federal and state Freedom of Information Acts, has made a great deal of data available to the public regarding the activities and policies of government enforcement and regulatory agencies. Knowing how to evaluate and use this information is critical to understanding and demonstrating what the data really means. The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) of Syracuse University uses its various knowledge-bases to demonstrate the power of transactional data. Colorgraphics and analytic techniques are combined in demonstrations of how otherwise drab statistics can be displayed dramatically to aid in policy analyses and advocacy. David Burnham, former New York Times Investigative Reporter; Susan Long, Co-director, TRAC, SUNY-Syracuse Election Fraud and Modern Technology There has been increasing attention, in the U.S. and abroad, to the use of modern technology in the electoral rocess. Buying votes, stealing votes, changing votes -- whether in the environment of punch-cards or fully automated voting machines -- is the subject of this tutorial. Mock elections will be staged in which the participants have roles in planning to perpetrate as well as prevent vote fraud. Voter registration, phone-based voting, cryptography and verification are among the strategies and technologies to be considered. Russel L. Brand, Reasoning Systems. SPECIAL EVENTS ON WEDNESDAY, Mar. 23: Noon - 4:00 p.m., Privacy International Business Meeting This meeting, at the John Marshall Law School, begins with a buffet luncheon.

Belair, Mullenholz & Brimsek, Wash., D.C. 10:30 a.m. Break 10:45 a.m. Can Market Mechanisms Protect Consumer Privacy? When does protection of consumer privacy require legal standards and government regulation and when can bargains and agreements in the market suffice? What role do new technological options for individuals and organizations play in facilitating private choice and market transactions? Is "ownership" of personal information a useful concept or a dead end for privacy protection in an informtion age? Chair: Dr. Alan F. Westin, Columbia University Noon Lunch, Speaker: Philip Zimmerman, PGP 1:30 p.m. Creating an Ethical Community in Cyberspace The fundamental ethical questions posed by the "settlement" of cyberspace are not new.
