[Chapter-delegates] ISOC-NY Events: Cyrus Farivar / NY INET

[Joly MacFie]

Two upcoming ISOC-NY events that should be in everyone's calendar!


*Cyrus Farivar – The Internet of Elsewhere - May 4 - NYU*

On May 4 2011 the Internet Society’s New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) will present
broadcaster, author & journalist Cyrus Farivar reading and discussing his
imminent (May 8 ) book ‘The Internet of
Elsewhere<http://internetofelsewhere.com/blog/>‘
(Rutgers University Press). All welcome. There will be a live webcast.

In the book Farivar explores the Internet’s history and effects in four
distinct and, to some, surprising societies — Iran, Estonia, South Korea,
and Senegal. He profiles Web pioneers in these countries and, at the same
time, surveys the environments in which they each work. After all, contends
Farivar, despite California’s great success in creating the Internet and
spawning companies like Apple and Google, in some areas the United States is
still years behind other nations.

With almost two billion people online, the Internet is a catalyst for
boundless creativity and growth. But the decisions we make in the coming
months and years will determine whether it remains a global platform for
innovation and expression for people everywhere. Join us on June 14 as we
set the agenda for the future of an open Internet. We’ll identify and
examine the critical decisions that will shape the future of the Internet:

**Who will help define the Internet’s evolution?
*What role should government and private industry play?
*How do we provide greater bandwidth and access?
*What does online privacy mean in the age of Facebook and Wikileaks?*
**
This is a unique opportunity to network with the thought leaders and policy
makers who are designing the global networks of tomorrow and help develop
the policies that will drive future Internet innovation. Space is limited so
it is advisable to register a.s.a.p.
