Internet Caucus Advisory Committee The roil around privacy law and regulation continues into 2012. The Federal Trade Commission just announced a major consent order with Facebook. Work continues on industry self reguatory efforts in the advrtising space. Members of Congress continue to offer privacy bills in a piecemeal fashion on everything from kids' privacy to Do Not Track. Technical working groups and browser companies continue to work on actualizing some "do not track" concepts online. And both the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce are writing papers that will propose ways to address consumer privacy in the coming weeks. Our panel of experts will offer their thoughts on what all this activity on privacy means for Congressional policymaking. http://www.netcaucus.org/audio/2012/20120117privacy.mp3 01:04:15 SOTN , Privacy , Law , Legislation , FTC Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:00:00 EDT No The Third Annual Judith Krug Memorial Intellectual Freedom Panel Internet Caucus Advisory Committee On December 8, 2011 Secretary of State Clinton delivered a speech at the Conference on Internet Freedom in the Netherlands that presented a set of extraordinarily challenges for technology companies: How can Internet technologies be used to promote freedom while resisting government pressure to help with oppression. While admitting that there are no easy answers - and no set of "instructions" forthcoming - she urged "smart companies" to act now to prevent their products and services from being used as dual use tools of innovation and of oppression. A question before our expert panel will be how this veritable Internet freedom arms race will end, and can freedom or innovation survive it. Another question for the panel will whether some larger governance body will be needed to provide a framework for global Internet business?. http://www.netcaucus.org/audio/2012/20120117netfreedom.mp3 00:58:58 SOTN , Internet , Freedom , Global , Krug Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:55:00 EDT No Our panel of experts will debate how effective the America Invents Act will be in the midst of this maelstrom as well as share their thoughts on what patent issues lie on the horizon, yet to be addressed. Internet Caucus Advisory Committee A focused panel discussion on the recently enacted America Invents Act, which brought about sweeping reform of the nation's patent laws for the first time in nearly 60 years and the Mobile device (e.g. smartphones & tablets) market, in which companies continue to spend billions of dollars to acquire massive portfolios of patents through mergers and acquisitions. With patent infringement litigation occurring at a frenetic pace in multiple countries and jurisdictions around the globe, companies are readily using these lawsuits to force competitors to remove their products from the global market. In the U.S., the International Trade Commission has emerged as a central battleground in the patent wars, raising questions about the role of that tribunal in patent litigation. Patents have become technological currency at the same time they've become weaponized. The emergence of "patent trolls" has only further changed the market landscape and dynamic. How will the public be affected by these litigations as new mobile devices continue to rollout? Will a competitor force your favorite mobile device off the market? Our panel of experts will debate how effective the America Invents Act will be in the midst of this maelstrom as well as share their thoughts on what patent issues lie on the horizon, yet to be addressed. http://www.netcaucus.org/audio/2012/20120117patents.mp3 01:10:37 SOTN , Patents , Reform , Smartphones , Mobile , Legislation , ITC Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:50:00 EDT No Our diverse panel of experts will debate and discuss whether States should require online retailers to collect sales taxes, and what it means for the Internet business model. Internet Caucus Advisory Committee The debate over Internet sales taxes continues. This issue affects large and small retailers, states, as well as consumers. Quill v. North Dakota, a ruling issued by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1992, established the premise that retailers are not required to collect sales taxes in those states where they lack a physical presence. However, the court explicitly stated that Congress could overrule the decision through subsequent legislation. State and local governments have since tried to persuade Congress to overturn this Court ruling and mandate that all online retailers assess and collect a sales tax in all states. Several legislative initiatives have been introduced in Congress on this issue, the most recent being the Marketplace Fairness Act, which was introduced on November 9, 2011. Proponents for overturning the Supreme Court's ruling on this issue have argued that the current tax framework enables online retailers to maintain an unfair advantage over brick-and-mortar retailers, especially in the case of small businesses. Opponents have countered that levying a tax on online sales would instead hurt small businesses the most. Regardless, both sides agree that this legislation has enormous implications for the Internet and the nation's tax structure. As part of enacting this reform measure, states would be required to simplify their sales tax codes to be able to collect tax from online retailers. Our diverse panel of experts will debate and discuss whether States should require online retailers to collect sales taxes, and what it means for the Internet business model. http://www.netcaucus.org/audio/2012/20120117taxation.mp3 0:59:50 SOTN , Tax , Internet , Online , Legislation Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:45:00 EDT No Our panel of experts will debate the major implications of the Jones case and also look at the effect our adoption of new Internet technologies is having on commercial and constitutional privacy. Internet Caucus Advisory Committee Just a few weeks ago, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in U.S. v. Jones, in which law enforcement used geolocation technology to monitor a criminal suspect on public roads. Although the justices may fail to provide definitive answers, the case raises profound questions about how technologies such as GPS, facial recognition and other tracking technologies -- both private and public -- are transforming the nature of privacy. Further, the Court may or may not examine the term of art "reasonable expectation of privacy" (REP), which is often cited in almost any digital privacy discussion. For instance, is it reasonable to expect privacy from tracking our movements on city streets when we broadcast our location on FourSquare and Gowalla to hundreds of our followers? Is it reasonable to expect that the FBI won't create dossiers of our private lives when anyone on Match.com can compile a dossier on his or her blind date on Saturday night? If our email providers can provide advertisements within the body of our emails does that mean that we can reasonably expect the government to access the content of our personal messages? Is our normative acceptance of these new commercial technologies -- technologies that the Founding Fathers could never have imagined -- transforming our constitutional privacy rights? And, what about other technologies such as facial recognition, drone technology and cookies? Our panel of experts will debate the major implications of the Jones case and also look at the effect our adoption of new Internet technologies is having on commercial and constitutional privacy. http://www.netcaucus.org/audio/2012/20120117geolocation.mp3 01:05:50 SOTN , Privacy , Jones , Legislation Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:40:00 EDT No State of the Net West Internet Caucus Advisory Committee The roundtable will cover issues related to Congressman Goodlatte's policy objectives in Washington including, but not limited to, innovation, patent reform, Internet copyright, Internet taxation, and broadband.

From border crossing documents to federal government ID cards, the U.S. government is bringing human identification into the digital age.

Law enforcement officials, including the Department of Justice and most state attorneys general, are proponents of such data warehousing to aid in law enforcement attempts to apprehend terrorists and child predators. Many privacy advocates oppose legislation because of the potential risks associated with unauthorized persons gaining easy access to logs of consumers' personal information or potential for misuse of information by the government. This panel explored the privacy and security implications of a legislative mandate to retain logs of consumers' online travels in central databases. http://www.netcaucus.org/audio/2006/20061005dataretention.mp3 01:11:43 Online , Internet , Data Retention , Warehousing , Child Predators , Terrorists , Privacy , Government , Websites, ISPs Mon, 16 Oct 2006 14:30:00 EDT No Internet Caucus Advisory Committee Numerous Congressional hearings have probed whether chat rooms, social networking sites and chat services present a danger to children and teens. The House passed the Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA) that requires schools and libraries to block teens' access to such sites. Further, some policymakers have proposed requiring such sites to block access to teens outright. The panel explored whether these sites inherently present a danger to teens worthy of such measures and whether such mandates are feasible. http://www.netcaucus.org/audio/2006/20060921socialnetworking.mp3 01:17:33 Social Networking , Chat , Youth , Online , Internet , Government , Policy Thu, 28 Sep 2006 12:31:00 EDT No Internet Caucus Advisory Committee Should Congress require U.S. Web sites to display a government rating label for pages that include "sexually-explicit" material?
