"Call for Participation: Trust and the Future of the Internet

The Internet Society (ISOC) Board of Trustees is currently engaged in a
discovery process to define a long term Major Strategic Initiative to 
ensure
that the Internet of the future remains accessible to everyone. The Board
believes that Trust is an essential component of all successful 
relationships
and that an erosion of Trust: in individuals, networks, or computing 
platforms,
will undermine the continued health and success of the Internet.

The Board will meet in special session the first week October of 2007 for
intensive study focused on the subject of trust within the context of 
network
enabled relationships.  As part of this process, the Board is hereby 
issuing a
call for subject experts who can participate in the two day discussion. 
Topics
of interest include: the changing nature of trust, security, privacy, 
control
and protection of personal data, methods for establishing authenticity and
providing assurance, management of threats, and dealing with unwanted 
traffic.

Participants will be selected based on a short paper summarizing individual
interests and qualifications as well as availability. The retreat will 
be held
in Toronto, Ontario (CA) . Travel and accommodation costs will be 
covered by
ISOC and participants should expect to arrive October 4th and depart on 
the 6th
or 7th. Expressions of interest may be emailed to:  Oct07-retreat @
elists.isoc.org and papers should not exceed three pages. Papers must 
received
by August 24th, 2007 and the Program Committee will make their 
selections on or
before September 7th, 2007. Subject experts will be allotted one hour for
presentation on October 5th and will be included in the days round-table
discussions. In order to facilitate open discussion, final presentation
materials should be forwarded to ISOC no later than September 21st, 2007.

We look forward to a lively and informative meeting on this important 
topic and
encourage you to share this announcement with your communities of 
interest."
