If you will be at the conference, come by the "Politics at the Internet Frontier" panel on Saturday, September 1 at 8:45 a.m.. I also dug through the giant conference agenda and pulled out all the Internet-related sessions I could find. Which sessions do you recommend? DO-WIRE Gathering, Papers On Friday, August 31 at around 5:30 p.m. I'd like to gather some of the best researchers attending the conference who have an active interest in the future of the Internet and politics. What are your thoughts on what is next? What we have actually "learned" so far with the Internet and democracy? (I am always open to e-mail receipt of academic papers <clift@publicus.net>. I'll only mention your paper to the 2,100 people on DO-WIRE <http://www.e-democracy.org/do> if it is online for public review. Say, you can check out the 25 key papers submitted last year with the keyword "Internet" at <http://PRO.harvard.edu/search.htm> - search now, for they will be replaced with this year's papers soon.) If you will be at the conference, drop me an e-mail <clift@publicus.net> with your contact details, what you are currently researching, and please forward this to others you think should join us on Friday, August 31.
