Communications Decency Act in June or July of this year. Meanwhile,
information about the hearings on 19 March of this year are available from
the Web site of the Citizens Internet Empowerment Coalition (CIEC), "a broad
group of Internet users, library groups, publishers, online service
providers, and civil liberties groups", <http://www.ciec.org/>. Further
pointers and comments welcome.

C-Fest: Summer Session #1
Come @join us in MOOspace as several members of the
forthcoming "TicToc" (Teaching in Cyberspace Through
Online Courses) Symposium hosted by the University
of Illinois-Chicago gather to discuss issues surrounding
the electronic-izing of the writing curriculum and the
the realities of professional recognition.
Fore more about TicToc, visit
<http://www.uic.edu/depts/engl/projects/tictoc/main.htm>
Our discussion this week will begin with the ideas outlined
by TicToc consultants Joe Amato and Mick Doherty available
at <http://www.rpi.edu/~doherm/tictoc/> ... if you can read
these documents ahead of time, that'd be great, but if not,
come anyway and shoot from the hip!
Additional texts from TicTockers such as Cynthia Haynes,
Jan Holmevik, and Eric Crump will also be introduced during
this C-Fest session as we pursue authoring ...
"The Technorhetorician's Bill of Rights."

Also ...
We need volunteer facilitators for each meeting. It's not a hard job :)
Just show up and help guests new to MOO, help to keep the discussion
flowing, and keep track of key ideas and post them on the C-FEST Ideas
Board. These meetings will also involve collaboration on the position
statements, so the transcripts and Ideas Board will need to reflect as
much as possible as we craft the statements. To volunteer as a
facilitator, please email Cynthia Haynes at cynthiah@utdallas.edu.
***************************
Our meetings are informal and productive. In the C-FEST Forum at Lingua
MOO participants may post ideas and suggestions to the C-FEST ideas
board and obtain instructions for subscribing to the C-FEST email
discussion list. We invite everyone to join in these discussions this
spring and summer. As always, our meetings are recorded and the
transcripts made available on the Lingua MOO Archive and Resource page,
or by email (see instructions in the C-FEST Forum at Lingua).
