February 2002 executive committee report
by Steve Jones 17 Feb '02

17 Feb '02

February 15, 2002 Report of the a(o).i.r. executive committee Prepared by Steve Jones AoIR Executive Committee President: Steve Jones Vice-President: Nancy Baym Secretary: Ulla Bunz Treasurer: Benjamin Bates Open Seats: David Silver and Barry Wellman Appointed Seats: Matthew Allen and Leslie Shade Student Seat: Lisbeth Klastrup Publications Officers: Jeremy Hunsinger and Charlie Breindahl 2002 Conference Coordinator: Monica Murero 2002 Conference Program Chair: Klaus Bruhn Jensen Ethics Working Group Chair: Charles Ess 1. Introduction & General (Jones) Below is the monthly report from AoIR executive committee members. 2. Executive Officers' Reports 2.1 President (Jones) 2.1.1 If we didn't know before that serving on the AoIR executive committee would be a lot of work, we know it now. Much has been discussed since the last report, and I think we are making good progress on several initiatives, as reported below. My thanks to the committee members for their hard work and dedication. 2.2 Vice President (Baym) 2.2.1 This month I raised several issues I had heard voiced at our conferences, executive committee candidates' election statements (both those elected and those who nobly volunteered to serve and were not elected), and air-l for consideration by the executive committee. These included outreach, enhancing our website, and examining our election procedures. Vigorous discussion ensued, and I worked hard pulling these discussions together to draft potential charges to potential working groups and to craft compromise solutions to bridge differences amongst executive committee members. Though these discussions have been occasionally stressful and often exhausting, I think the members of aoir should feel some excitement to know that they have one heck of a passionate and committed group of people struggling with the issues of how to make aoir a solid and consistent organization that can best serve the interests of its members. Next time though I think I'll raise issues one at a time so the exec committee can get some sleep and make it through weekends without having to check our email and offer opinions hourly :) 2.3 Secretary (Bunz) 2.3.1 It has been a busy month because the Executive Committee has made many decisions. Please see the summary below. I have participated in these discussions, created various summaries, and investigated various awards and plaque vendors. Short-Summary Jan 10-Feb 10, 2002: The Executive Committee (EC) agreed: * to create monthly summaries of decisions made on the air-exec list. The job was added to the secretary's responsibilities. Procedural decisions are available to current and future members of the EC. Major changes will be reflected in the bylaws. All other decisions will be shared with air-l either through the monthly summaries, or through separate postings. * to continue its current policy on listserve postings: Messages over 10K are technically rejected. "Public shaming" is continued for people who don't delete previous messages when replying to them. * to allow the Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research to give an award at AoIR 3.0. * to register AoIR as an organization for the World Summit of the Information Society, Geneva 2003. * to accept a discount offer by vanDuesseldorp and Partners for their TV Meets Web Seminar. More information will be made available on air-l soon. * to encourage outreach and recruitment towards all groups, but especially currently underrepresented groups. Promotional material will be made available on the website. * to investigate demographics etc. of membership in the near future. A call for volunteers will be posted on air-l soon. Please wait until this call has been posted before you volunteer. * to create a work group that will be responsible for Internet Research related online materials posted on the AoIR website. A call for volunteers will be posted on air-l soon. Please wait until this call has been posted before you volunteer. * to create a work group that will investigate a possible election reform. A call for volunteers will be posted on air-l soon. Please wait until this call has been posted before you volunteer. * to raise conference fees very slightly to confirm with higher costs associated with conference planning. * to begin giving keynote speaker award plaques. To continue giving a "best student paper" award, which consists of a book and a plaque. The program chair decides on the best student paper. The secretary is responsible for having the plaques made. * The EC is currently debating policies for possible affiliation, association, and joint ventures with other organizations, businesses, and associations. 2.4 Treasurer (Bates) 2.4.1 We had a pretty good month. Paid some bills, processed 16 new memberships, 2 renewals. Managed to lose my local dump of the "treasurer" emails during a disk crash, but thankfully had kept originals on the server, and have been able to reconstruct most of the correspondence (Thanks, Jeremy!). 2.5 Open Seats (Silver, Wellman) 2.5.1 Silver: I've spent the better part of the month trying to wade through and in turn contributing to all of the email generated by the executive committee mailing list. We've had a very productive last few weeks, discussing important issues regarding outreach, collaboration, and the elections process, among other topics. Personally, I think these are the kinds of discussions and debates that are useful for a growing organization, and reflect the amount of commitment all of us have for this organization. I've fielded dozens of emails regarding AIR 3.0, and tried to pass along word of the conference to all virtual nooks and crannies I could find. 2.5.2 Wellman: On leave. 2.6 Appointed Seats (Allen, Shade) 2.6.1 Allen: Nothing to report; clearing the decks here for my leave; semester starts on Feb 18 and we have just worked out that the 22 fulltime staff in my school are teaching 684 equivalent fulltime students this year lord! 2.6.2 Shade: Started review process for AOIR 3.0. Talked to lots of Canadians about participating in AOIR 3.0 2.7 Student Seat (Klastrup) 2.7.1 Nothing much to report, still trying to catch up with backlog after sickleave and discussions on EC-list. Taken first steps towards gathering interested phd.students in a taskforce which can think about phd.student initiatives within A.i:R. If you are interested in participating, please contact me! 2.8 Publications Officers (Hunsinger, Breindahl) 2.8.1 Hunsinger: busy month general aoir maintained/upgraded aoir server new security patches, maintenance patches new perl installed new security policies and systems installed other assorted things it was a very active discussion period on exec. conference aoir helped Klaus with conference finished rewrite and maintaining conference submission system 90+submissions as of the 12th helped Monica with conference answered questions for the reviewers and coordinators sent out final cfp answered some submission related questions, sent others to Klaus and/or Monica 2.8.2 Breindahl: I have been formally assigned the task of maintaining aesthetic properties of our web presence by the Honorable and Ever-present-in-e-mail Dr. Hunsinger. I have even been able to answer several listserv requests before said Dr. Hunsinger (requires sub-second response times from Europe). 2.9 2002 Conference (Monica Murero, Coordinator; Klaus Bruhn Jensen, Program Chair) 2.9.1 Murero: The organization of AoIR 3.0 is proceeding as planned, here in Maastricht. I am coordinating several activites, from the choice of the conference facilities, to the update of the conference web-site . The first payments have been done. Particular attention is dedicated to the quality of the organization for the AOIR 3.0 conference. 2.9.2 Jensen: I have been working with Jeremy Hunsinger and volunteer reviewers in adjusting the review system for October 2002 conference as well as initiating the review process itself, which is on schedule. Following the February 15 deadline for submissions, we will gradually move from reviewing papers to planning the elements of the program. 2.10 AoIR Ethics Working Group (Charles Ess, Chair) 2.10.1 We are beginning to discuss a draft of a document that we may present at aoir 3.0 in Maastricht as a follow-up to our preliminary report posted in October, 2001, as part of aoir 2.0 (see <aoir.org/reports/ethics.html>). This document is more oriented towards specific questions to be raised by researchers, IRBs and others in the efforts to evaluate proposed research; it provides case studies that illustrate both dilemmas and possible resolutions; and offers a range of additional resources for considering the ethical dimensions of Internet research.

FW: Deep Linking

I thought I'd forward this to the list. Some good additional information on deep linking and legal issues. ~Jenny -----Original Message----- From: Dan L Burk [mailto:burkx006@tc.umn.edu] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 5:22 PM To: jstromer(a)asc.upenn.edu Subject: Deep Linking Hi Jennifer -- I just noted your query about so-called "deep linking" on the air-l archive (I am not currently subscribed to the list). There have been several cases dealing either with unauthorized links, or with in-line framing, which raises the same set of issues -- not only Ticketmaster,but Futuredontics, Shetland Times, Utah Lighthouse Ministries, even the DeCSS Corley case. Most of the cases have settled, but a few have produced published opinions, including one just last week. You are entirely correct that unauthorized linking *should* not be considered copyright infringement. In some cases, where there may be consumer confusion, there might be trademark or unfair competition problems, but not copyright. I set out that analysis some time ago at http://elj.warwick.ac.uk/jilt/intprop/98_2burk/ Another helpful paper reaching the same conclusion, by Ed Cavazos and Coe F. Miles, can be found at http://www.richmond.edu/~jolt/v4i2/cavazos.html Despite the fairly clear logic against a finding of copyright liability, some courts have been sympathetic to these claims. This has been a source of ongoing controversy. Data aggregators, such as the crawler in the eBay case that was mentioned to you, raise several of the same issues. And, I assure you, there are people looking for ways to sue Tevo for copyright infringement for allowing viewers to skip television commercials (I have had the misfortune to meet some of them -- the potential litigants, that is, not the viewers). Please feel free to forward this to the list if you like. Regards, Dan L. Burk Julius E. Davis Professor of Law University of Minnesota

RE: [Air-l] Question about computer/Internet surveys/experiments in a class

Moses, Smith, Caputi and Rawstorne (2000) have published a scale that I think you can use or adapt easily to your purposes. The scale looks at how students learn with computers, how they evaluate that experience, their attitudes toward email use in the classroom and their perception of the usefulness of that medium, etc. Also, if I remember correctly, Michele Jackson is doing something similar to your project with Computer Science students right now. I'm reluctant to give out her email address over the list here, but you can find her website when you look for her under faculty members in the Communication department at the University of Colorado, at Boulder. Finally, I suspect you have your course all planned out already, but if you are interested, please feel free to check out my syllabus for "Effective Internet Communication," a very applied short-course, at http://www.people.ku.edu/~ulla/teaching.html Good luck, I'd love to hear what you find out, ulla Smith, B., Caputi, P., Rawstorne, P.

RE: [Air-l] Using Online Citations to Defunct Web Sites
by Bunz, Ulla K 16 Feb '02

16 Feb '02

Ken Friedman brings up an important, related issue to giving reference to online citations (first posted by Ed Lamoureux). What if the website itself IS the object of inquiry? I am just now finishing up research that investigated nine entire websites (not pages). I cannot possibly be required to print out every page in these sites in case someone wants to look at it 10, 20, 50 years from now, can I? As part of my research process and methodology, I downloaded the websites using WebCopier, and uploaded them on a local server. I did this more to prevent the sites from changing throughout the research process than to save them into all eternity. So, theoretically, I could point people to my local server address and ask them to look at the sites there (at least until I change university affiliation this summer, and who knows whether I'll "pack" these digital belongings and take them with me). And the original sites may have changed since I downloaded them! By definition, websites are dynamic documents. A screen shot or printout is just a momentary, Polaroid-like memorabilia. And in a way, so are my downloaded sites. If quoting text or a paragraph from an online document, I would strongly support Joe Walther's viewpoint (paraphrased) - to provide up-to-date specific reference, if at all possible. But if we're talking about whole pages or sites - I honestly don't know. Once I figure it out, I'll write a book and make big bucks from it ;) ulla ************************* Ulla K.

I do not support the effort of making personal copies of everything on the web that people use or cite. Memory is cheap, that is true, effort is not, parsing data and knowledge is not, etc. I'd much prefer to rely on large archives, and if something disappears, as things do, books disappear and so do articles, they get lost, they will either reappear eventually somewhere or they will be traces of what was.

Deep Linking
by Jennifer Stromer-Galley 15 Feb '02

15 Feb '02

I wasn't aware that deep linking might leave one legally vulnerable. (and thanks for the description, John) It's hard for me to imagine how deep linking could be illegal. Take the case of Ticketmaster, as Amanda suggested. It sounds like Ticketmaster was able to successfully sue someone who found a way to get to internal pages, bypassing the advertisements. That would be like suing Tevo for allowing people to watch TV and skip the advertisements. I just don't see how it could be illegal to enable people to link from, say, my website to another website, even if it bypasses the top level pages. I could see a problem if I were somehow able to bypass a "members-only" or "private" area of the website, enabling people who weren't members to access that private or exclusive information. But, for public information, including advertisements, I don't follow the logic that it would be illegal to link deeply into a site. Perhaps, I'm using the wrong metaphor (i.e. Tevo). But, if I am, than what's a better one? ~Jenny

advice please:online citations
by Ed Lamoureux 15 Feb '02

15 Feb '02

my editorial board is contemplating the issue and questions I've asked below. I expect that their input with help me make a consensus-based decision. However, since many of you folks publish in this arena, and all have interests and expertise here, I would benefit from hearing what you have to say on the matter. Thank you for considering my question. ************** One of the authors we're publishing is writing about a film. He used a large number of quotations and citations from web sites dedicated to film reviews . . . his citations don't follow APA exactly . . . instead of noting the most current location of the materials, he notes the url as of the date he retrieved the piece, and that date. The format is close enough that I can let the technical/stylistic issue slide. However, some of the materials are no longer available at the specified locations. I've asked him to go back and find alternatives; and told him that I will require a note that offers hard copy for interested readers who contact him. But let's assume for a moment that by the time I get the thing in print, 25% of his cited stuff isn't available. Should I publish the piece at all? Do we need to set specific editorial policy about web-based documentation? Your suggestions please. Edward Lee Lamoureux, Ph. D.
