"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."
