>
>The Program Committee of the Tenth Conference on Computers, Freedom,
>and Privacy (CFP2000) is seeking proposals for conference sessions and
>speakers.
>
>For the past decade, CFP has played a major role in the public debate
>on the future of privacy and freedom in the online world.  The CFP
>audience is as diverse as the Net itself, with attendees not only from
>government, business, education, and non-profits, but also from the
>community of computer professionals, hackers, crackers and engineers
>who work the code of cyberspace.  The themes have been broad and
>forward-looking. CFP explores what will be. It is the place where the
>future is mapped.
>
>The theme of the tenth CFP conference is 'Challenging the
>Assumptions'.  After a decade of CFP conferences, it's time to examine
>what we have learned. "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog" has
>become a cliche, but we've learned that unless we take measures to
>protect our identities, people can and do identify us on the Internet.
>We have talked about the role of government in cyberspace, and some
>have even suggested that the Net needs no government. But now that
>increasing numbers of people around the world are relying on the
>Internet not just as a marketplace of ideas, but the market where they
>conduct their daily business, the issue of governance has come to the
>forefront. And even where no rules have been imposed by governments,
>some argue that standards setters and technology implementers have
>imposed de facto rules. At CFP2000 we want to re-examine the
>assumptions we have been making and consider which ones still make
>sense as we move forward.
>
>Proposals are welcomed on all aspects of computers, freedom, and
>privacy. We strongly encourage proposals that challenge the future,
>tackle the hard questions, look at old issues in new ways, articulate
>and analyze key assumptions, and present complex issues in all their
>complexity.
>
>We are seeking proposals for tutorials, plenary sessions, workshops,
>and birds-of-a-feather sessions. We are also seeking suggestions for
>speakers and topics. Sessions should present a wide range of thinking
>on a topic by including speakers from different viewpoints.  Complete
>submission instructions appear on the CFP2000 web site at
>http://www.cfp2000.org/submissions/.  All submissions must be received
>by October 15, 1999.  The CFP2000 Program Committee will notify
>submitters of the status of their proposals by December 3.

>
>Workshop on Freedom and Privacy by Design
>
>On the first day of CFP2000 we will hold a workshop that explores
>using -technology- to bring about strong protections of civil
>liberties which are guaranteed by the technology itself---in short, to
>get hackers, system architects, and implementors strongly involved in
>CFP and its goals.  Our exploration of technology includes (a)
>implemented, fielded systems, and (b) what principles and
>architectures should be developed, including which open problems must
>be solved, to implement and field novel systems that can be inherently
>protective of civil liberties.
>
>We aim to bring together implementors and those who have studied the
>social issues of freedom and privacy in one room to generate ideas for
>systems that we should field, and implementation strategies for
>fielding them.
>
>If you would like to participate, you must submit a short paper or
>extended abstract on some issue related to the workshop by November
>12. Complete submission instructions are available at
>http://www.cfp2000.org/workshop/

>CFP Student Competition
>
>Full time college or graduate students may compete for financial
>support to attend the conference and for cash prizes. Three $500 cash
>prizes will be awarded for the best paper, the best Web presentation,
>and the submission that best makes use of the vast trove of papers,
>audio, and video materials from the past ten years of Computers,
>Freedom, and Privacy conferences. Free CFP conference registrations
>and travel scholarships will be awarded to the top winners as well as
>for several honorable mentions. For full submission information, see
