Message-ID: I need somebody to provide 'chown' and related services. This involves use of privileged access, and requires some acquaintance with SCN, so it needs to be someone who has been around a little while. It does not require much time or technical knowledge, and would be ideal for someone who would like a quiet, easy job at SCN that takes only a few hours a month.

Kaplan, NY Times)---When the Electronic Privacy Information Center, an advocacy group based in Washington that loudly campaigns for Internet privacy and civil liberties, announced it had received a $1 million gift a few weeks ago, the money didn't come from a large corporation or private foundation. It came from someone who usually receives grants -- a law school professor. But then again, Pamela Samuelson is not just any professor. A leading cyberlaw expert and intellectual property scholar at the University of California at Berkeley, she is using her personal wealth to promote the public interest in the Internet legal battles now being waged in courts, legislatures and administrative agencies across the country. Earlier this year the Samuelson Law, Technology and Public Policy clinic opened at UC Berkeley's School of Law (Boalt Hall). The program, which has a full-time director, is one of the first in the country to allow law students to work on key matters in Internet arena. Students can file friend-of-the-court briefs in important cases, draft model legislation and provide legal assistance to individuals filing lawsuits against corporations and government agencies. To fund the clinic, Samuelson and her husband, Robert Glushko, an engineer at Commerce One, an e-commerce services and software provider, donated $2 million. In addition, Mitchell Kapor, founder of Lotus Development Corp., kicked in $300,000, as did the New York- based Markle Foundation, headed by Zoe Baird, a Boalt Hall alum. The idea may be catching on. Stanford Law School started a student clinic in cyberlaw this year under the direction of Professor Lawrence Lessig, a leading scholar in the field. Harvard Law School has operated a similar program since 1998. At Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), the second link in Samuelson's public interest plan, the law professor's gift will be used to set up a paid summer internship program for 8-10 law students. "We want there to be places where people who are interested in high tech public interest law can do it and earn money" during the summer, as a counter-weight to summer jobs at law firms, said Samuelson, who has a joint appointment at UC Berkeley's School of Information Management and Systems as well as in the School of Law, where she is a co-director of the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology. Marc Rotenberg, EPIC's executive director, said he's already received over 150 applications from students around the country. This summer's slots are filled, he said, but openings are available for student externships for next fall. Meanwhile, Samuelson and her husband are looking to fund other public interest Internet law clinics at law schools. "I actually look at this strategically," she said in a wide-ranging recent telephone interview. "Where is stuff happening and where do the clinics need to be? A lot of issues arise in the [United States Court of Appeals for the] Second Circuit, in Manhattan, especially in the copyright area, and we want to see a clinic there but we don't have a proposal yet." She added that it would be "great" to establish a law-school clinic in the Los Angeles area, where many entertainment corporations are based. She is also looking at funding a law school-affiliated clinic in the Washington, D.C. area, she added. Why pour millions of dollars into student clinics? Samuelson rattles off the answers like a lawyer arguing a point. She has a very strong sense that the public interest is underrepresented in a lot of high- tech policy debates and lawsuits, she said. "Congress discovered Silicon Valley a few years ago and Silicon Valley discovered Congress. When there is a high-tech issue Congress asks, 'What does Silicon Valley want? Let's find out.' So we need an institutional structure . . . to promote the public interest." She also hopes that her efforts will tap into the idealism of many current law students and offer them a chance to help shape Internet law. The programs may also have ripple effects, she added. "I hope that students who are not involved in the clinics hear about them. I hope they'll say, 'Hey, there really is a public interest out there. Maybe when we go to work for law firms or companies we should remember that there is a public interest out there." Jonathan Zittrain, an Internet law expert at Harvard Law School, said it's important for students at cyberlaw clinics to take on cases that would not otherwise reach the courts. "A case gets the wheels of public policy working," he said. "You get a verdict and that can inspire legislative change. Even if you lose the battle, a legal controversy can invite the public eye. There's nothing like a good case to focus attention on an issue. It's concrete, you've got a story, alleged harm and a resolution." Though she is not well known to the public, Samuelson is a high- profile scholar in the world of Internet law. A recurring theme in many of her legal writings has been an attack on the over-protection of intellectual property in the digital age by corporations and a defense of the individual consumer's right to make private, noncommercial uses of information. In one speech she gave at an academic conference in 1998, for example, she said she was engaged in a long-term intellectual project of "designing a copyright policy for an information society in which it would be good to live [in]." But in the interview she said that is not the full story. "Some people perceive me as advocating a public interest or little- guy perspective, but that is not how I perceive myself," she said. "A lot of the work I've been doing is work I felt needed to be done because the establishment interests are very well represented and pretty good at getting their message out. If I've started to talk about the wider public interest, and about imposing some limits on high- tech projectionist initiatives that Hollywood, Microsoft or other big companies might want . . . I've ended up doing it not because my heart is there specifically but to keep a dialog going and to strike a balance." Samuelson, 52, grew up in Washington State and graduated from the University of Hawaii. After graduating from Yale Law School in 1976, she practiced commercial law for four years at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, a New York law firm, then departed to become a law professor at the University of Pittsburgh. She took up her duties at UC Berkeley in 1996 and, in 1997, she was named a "genius" fellow of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Reflecting on her decision to leave law-firm life early in her career, she recalled that she had never aspired to be a law professor. "But what I discovered at Willkie Farr," she said, "is that the problems didn't cease to be interesting when the case settled. It seemed like law teaching might be a way to investigate as fully as I thought appropriate some interesting issues that the law presented." Samuelson met her husband in 1987, when he was affiliated with Carnegie Mellon, and the pair married a year later. They hit the jackpot in 1999 following the initial public offering of stock in Commerce One. Glushko co-founded a Silicon Valley start-up that was later acquired by Commerce One. Samuelson declined to characterize the extent of her assets, but she did acknowledge that she and her husband have given away a higher proportion of their resources than do most people in their circumstances. In other recent gifts, she and her husband have donated $1 million to fund graduate student fellowships at UC Berkeley's School of Information Management and Systems. They also donated a similar amount to the University of Washington, in the name of Samuelson's grandmother, to fund student fellowships for women interested in studying science and technology. Some people in Samuelson's position might chuck it all and retire to Italy. "That has crossed my mind," she said. But then she stopped laughing: "I want to leave a positive legacy, something more than 'She wrote all these law review articles.'"

Attached is the latest Legislative Report from WAISP, for your info. Joel Ware, IV jw4 at scn.org Volunteer Coordinator Emeritus, Member of Governance, HR, Ops, Board ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2001 11:29:29 -0800 From: Gary Gardner--Executive Director To: announcements at waisp.org Subject: WAISP Legislative Report 03/04/01 We trust the earthquake on Wednesday did no significant damage to your operation -- our office sustained minor damage, mostly overturned bookcases and files, as well as a broken computer monitor -- but throughout the quake and the aftermath, our Qwest ISDN connection to Northwest Link stayed up and running -- surprise surprise! The earthquake caused the legislature to grind to a halt shortly before noon on Wednesday, and there has been no legislative activity except for a brief "pro-forma" House and Senate sessions where they meet and immediately adjourn until three day's hence. The pro-forma sessions were held in the Senate office buildings, as the Capitol itself is still unsafe and quite damaged. It was cut-off week prior to the quake -- the last days to hear bills in committee if those bills were to be able to continue in the process. Wednesday was supposed to be the cut-off for Senate bills - that has now been extended until Monday afternoon. The House cut-off was Tuesday. The Senate is expected to convene at 8am on Tuesday to vote on bills - most likely in the large committee hearing rooms in the Senate Office Building. They are scheduled to work the rest of the week as well as Saturday and Sunday to make up for lost time. The House is set to convene on Wednesday as well - location unknown at this time. Their cut-off was on Tuesday before the earthquake, so their committees are not meeting, and they will spend the first part of the week cleaning up offices. There is significant damage to both of the Legislative Chambers, with decorative plaster castings in danger of falling, and a lot of clean-up to do. The cost of the damage is going to put a bigger crimp in an already tight state budget, and will likely extend the session even further into the summer. Because of the cut-off a number of bills are now dead -- among them are: HB 1077 -- Cable Access HB 1284 and SB 5410-- PUD Telecom Restrictions HB 1316 -- Material Harmful to Minors SB 5124 -- CLEC Tariff change notice SB 5233 -- Requiring filtered Internet Access at Libraries Right now there are only a handful of bills WAISP is working with and monitoring: SB 5510 and HB 1287 -- Prohibiting Mandatory Measured Service SB 5380 -- CLEC Regulations The CLEC regulation bill is at: http://www.leg.wa.gov/pub/billinfo/2001-02/Senate/5375-5399/5380-s.pdf The bill says the WUTC may waive all but minimal regulatory requirements for competitive telecommunications services if it determines that competition serves the same purpose as public interest regulation. Different companies and services may be subject to different regulations if such treatment is in the public interest and does not result in unfair competitive advantage. The WUTC is given discretion to either permit or require telecommunications companies to file price lists with the commission. The commission may also permit or require companies to maintain publicly accessible price lists. In no case may this flexibility be used to allow a telecommunications company to impose mandatory local measured service that is inconsistent with state law. Companies offering competitive telecommunications services must notify customers of any change in the price, terms, or conditions related to those services. The commission may determine the form, manner, and timing of the notice, except that for price increases in pre- subscribed local exchange, local toll, and long-distance services, companies must provide at least ten days' written notice to their customers. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * From the Listowner * * * * * * * * * * * * .

This version can be read by everyone, no matter what type of computer you use, or what type of software you use. It is a simple format, with just our entire catalogue pasted into the body of a single email message, 712K in size. If you use pine or elm on a unix system or an advanced software version such as Eudora Pro 3.0 or later, you will most likely receive it as a single email message. However, if your software limits incoming email messages to a certain size, say 32K or so, then your software will split it into multiple email message parts. Whether you receive it as a single email message or multiple part email messages, you can easily paste it into one whole text document with your word processor, in about 10 minutes or so. 2. For more advanced computer users: attached plain ascii text file ~712K - you must know how to download an attached text file and then be able to locate it on your hard drive or system home directory; it can then be opened with any pc or mac word processing software. If in doubt, don't ask for this version. This isn't for internet *newbies.* Better to order option 1 and spend a few minutes pasting them into one whole text document with your word processor, than to waste hours trying to figure how to deal with this option. This version is great for doing keyword searches and jumping around within the catalogue with your word processing software, if your normal email reading software doesn't allow this.

They will even help you with address changes on your magazines, even if you move from one country to another country. They have thousands of happy customers in over 59 countries. Their price guarantee is very simple: they guarantee that their subscription prices are the lowest available and they will BEAT any legitimate, verifiable offer before you pay them or match it afterwards, by refunding you the difference in price PLUS the cost of the postage stamp you would use sending in the special offer to them, even 6 months after you pay them, as long as it was current at the time of your offer. Does that sound fair? Wouldn't it be great if everything you bought came with that price guarantee? Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal out there, sometimes just a little cheaper, but always you get the lowest rates without having to shop around. With 1,100+ titles on their list, they would like to think that they have also the best selection around! Within the USA, for their USA customers, they are cheaper than all their competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price guarantee. The 1 yr. freebie that you get with your first order is completely free! Overseas, (even after you factor in the cost of the FPH (foreign postage & handling) and the conversion from USA Dollars to your currency), on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They are also the cheapest subscription source for delivery overseas, including directly from the publishers themselves! Some publishers don't even offer subscriptions overseas.........but overseas subscriptions are this company's specialty! They feel that magazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their overseas customers. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! It is also *highly unlikely* you will find any of their USA competitors calling you overseas, in order to offer that personal touch, just to sell you a couple of magazines! But that is what this company specializes in and loves doing! Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new customers who only speak limited English as a 2nd language. Subscription prices quoted for overseas consist of the subscription price, plus the FPH. You add the two together and that is your total cost. The exception is the 1 yr. freebie you get with your first order. On that title, you pay *only* the FPH for the 1 yr. term. Their prices are so cheap because when you deal with them, you cut-out all the middlemen. HERE IS HOW YOU CAN GET MORE INFO AND GET STARTED WITH THEM: Simply email, fax or smail back to us the reply form listed at the top of this message. We will then forward your form on to the subscription agency. They will then email their "big and juicy" catalogue to you, in whichever of the two formats you chose. The catalogue is FREE and makes for hours of fascinating reading, on its own. It includes the complete list of freebies, a complete list of all the titles they sell, as well as detailed descriptions on most of the titles, along with lists of titles by category of interest and their terms of sale. They will then give you a friendly, no-pressure, no obligation, 5-minute call to go over how they work and to answer any questions that you might have, as well as give you up-to-the minute price quotes on any titles you might be considering. They will call you in whatever country you live in, taking the time difference into account. As they like to emphasize the personal touch they give to each new customer, all first-time orders can only be done via phone, so they can answer all your questions completely and personally. Once you have placed your first order via phone, you will be able to place future orders and make inquiries on your account, get price quotes, etc., all via email, if that is most convenient for you. Within the USA, they accept payment via check over the phone, Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Diner's Club and Carte Blanche. Overseas, they accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Diner's Club and Carte Blanche, even if your credit card is a local one in local currency (that most merchants in the USA would not normally be willing to accept). That's our introduction of our client that we represent. We hope that we have piqued your interest and that you will take the next step to get their free catalogue!

Deadline is April 9th. I thought you may either be interested in applying or know of others that may be. There are some very interesting issues coming to the Board in the next couple years. The City would like to continue to have a Board that represents Seattle's diversity of community and expertise. I work closely with the Board and would be happy to answer any questions. You may also know others (incl. Doug Schuler, Aki Namioka) who have been on the Board in the past. - David ―------------------------ For Immediate Release: March 20, 2001 Contact: Lynne Masters, 386-0031 Alex Field, 684-8119 George Allen, 684-8802 CITY SEEKS CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT ON TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY BOARD Seattle, WA - Mayor Paul Schell and Councilmember Jim Compton - City Council's Public Safety and Technology Committee Chair - are actively seeking candidates for several openings on a citizen advisory board that has strongly influenced City policy concerning communications technology since 1995. The board - the Citizens Telecommunications and Technology Advisory Board (CTTAB) - advises City officials on many aspects of communications and information sharing, including cable television, internet access, and regulatory issues surrounding the City's authority over wire and wireless communications systems. Since its inception, CTTAB members advised the City on projects and policies that expanded access to the Web, encouraged citizen efforts to use technology to organize, supporteded computer literacy and provided access to computers for all citizens. Recently, CTTAB had a significant role in negotiations for a cable franchise that will bring fiber-optic communications to Seattle. CTTAB works to assure that the City of Seattle's approach to the use of technology is far-sighted, inclusive, provides universal access to information, and enhances widespead participation in public process. Board members interview applicants and rate submissions to the Technology Matching Fund program the Board helped create. New CTTAB projects include a Seniors Training Seniors in Technology Project and an "Information Age" campaign to help familiarize the technology-challenged with computers, the Web, and the world of telecommunications. Jerry Whiting - the current CTTAB chair and President of Azalea Software - considers this advisory board to be an important bridge builder, connecting community groups, the technology industry and city government. "I appreciate more and more the vital role that CTTAB plays in advising and working with the Mayor's office, City Council, the City's Cable Office, and information technology staff. CTTAB's role in competitive cable franchising, the disbursement of technology grant money, and discussions with citizens groups, city government, and the cable and high tech industry is key to Seattle's providing excellence in communcations for all its citizens." The fifteen member board has five positions available, and all interested members of the public are welcome to apply. In the interest of representing as many points of view as possible, persons of color, women, youth, persons with disabilities and sexual minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Board responsibilities require a commitment of at least two meetings a month. All members serve without compensation and must be residents of Seattle. Knowledge of technical matters is helpful but is not a prerequisite. More information about CTTAB - its past and current projects - is available on CTTAB's Home Page at: http://cityofseattle.net/cttab/ For a live source of information about CTTAB, please call Lynne Masters at 386-0031.
