Second, we've decided to focus our activities on those that we have the staff to handle well. Third, we will work to set up a regular and predictable meeting schedule. Details of the next meeting will be announced as we discover them. The idea is to have a set time and location, and to have speakers and discussions that will serve unmet needs in the online community here in New York. Civil rights issues online are plentiful and move quickly.
Coverage is spotty at best, and it is worthwhile to get the word out to the folks it'll affect.
Fourth, we, the Board, have delegated to the Acting President, Josef Sachs, full authority to approve and execute any projects consistent with SEA's stated purpose of protecting civil liberties in cyberspace and encouraging broad access to the online world. It also represents a commitment by the board not to micro-manage projects. We invite those who would like to work on cyber-civil liberties issues to contact us and take advantage of our experience, presence and contacts. Fifth, the SEA board and officers are looking at a number of projects to take on to advance the status of individual rights and access in cyberspace. Among the alternatives are an effort to evangelize the problems in pending cyber-copyright legislation, and a judicial watch newsletter.
