Dear Friends,

The Research Triangle Park chapter of Computer Professionals for Social
Responsibility is putting together a Spring forum at Duke University on the
privacy and civil liberty implications of the Total Information Awareness
(TIA) system proposed by the US government. Experts from government,
academia and industry will debate the technical, social and ethical
challenges raised by TIA which is proposed to fight terrorism through
information gathering, surveillance and profiling.

The event organizers are looking for assistance in putting together the
event, including advertising and co-sponsorship. If you are interested
please email cpsr_rtp AT internet-lab.com for more information.

CPSR is known for its public forums on privacy. In May 2001 the RTP
chapter held a Forum on Personal Privacy. Speakers included Wayne Crews,
Directory of Technology Policy at the Cato Institute, Robert Ellis
Smith, attorney and publisher of the Privacy Journal, and Brock Meeks,
Washington DC bureau chief for MSNBC. The event was captured on video
and can be viewed on-line at http://www.ibiblio.org/cpsr/.

Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you.

- Christian Stalberg, Chair
  RTP Chapter of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility
