This popular institute, led by Steve Worona of EDUCAUSE and Tracy Mitrano of Cornell, is a great way to get up-to-date while enjoying summer by Lake Cayuga.
Dear Colleague,
The ever-expanding use of Internet technologies presents a multitude of challenges for everyone involved in developing, implementing, or enforcing technology policies. This year, make your job a little easier by joining us for one of the nation's most highly regarded forums for examining technology policies in higher education: the Cornell University/EDUCAUSE Institute for Computer Policy and Law<
http://www.sce.cornell.edu/exec/cpl.php> (ICPL), to be held July 19-22 on the Cornell campus in Ithaca, New York.
Led by co-directors Steven L. Worona, the director of policy and networking for EDUCAUSE, and Tracy B. Mitrano, director of IT policy for Cornell Information Technologies, the 2010 institute will feature a keynote speech by Cliff Lynch, executive director of the Coalition for Networked Information (
http://www.cni.org/). Also on the schedule are sessions to explore a range of critical topics, including:
* the most recent developments in computer, policy, law, and the Internet;
* an introduction to laws that apply in cyberspace;
* network security policies and e-discovery;
* policy options for social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook; and
* the laws and politics of digital copyright.
"ICPL continues to be the premier event for discussing IT policy and law in higher education," says Doug Markiewicz, a participant in the 2009 ICPL. "It provides the opportunity to interact with great minds in an intimate setting." We hope that you and many of your colleagues will be able to join us this year for what promises to be an equally enlightening and rewarding institute.
