Livestream

LivestreamOn Thursday December 5 2019 at 12pm EST (17:00 UTC) the Congressional Internet Caucus Academy hosts a panel “Blockchain Is Revolutionizing Your Digital Identity And Government Can Lead The Way” at Rayburn House in Washington DC. Blockchain technology is maturing rapidly and is opening new possibilities for innovation across spectrums. For example, digital identity initiatives such as ID2020, Workday’s Digital Credentials, or even the US Government as outlined in a recent NIST report. With the promise of transformative impacts comes higher expectations on efficiency, privacy, and security. Congressional policy can play a key role in spurring the technology by creating an underlying legal framework that supports its use.

Speakers: Tiffany Angulo, Legislative Director for Rep. David Schweikert; Dan Bachenheimer, Unique Identity Services, Accenture; James Cross, VP Product Strategy, Workday; Amy Davine Kim, Chief Policy Officer, Chamber of Digital Commerce; Dr. James Shook, Mathematician, Computer Security Division, NIST. Moderator: Lydia Beyoud, Reporter Bloomberg Law.

Today Monday, October 7, 2019, at 12:00 EDT (16:00 UTC) the Congressional Internet Caucus Academy hosts a panel of Academy experts who will discuss the D.C. Circuit’s decision, as well as next steps for Congress and any broader implications for the Internet ecosystem. These panelists represent diverse perspectives on the decision and what it means for Congress and for the Internet. Speakers include: Matthew Brill, Partner, Latham and Watkins; Kristine (Fargotstein) Hackman, Vice President, Policy & Advocacy, US Telecom; Sarah Morris, Director, Open Technology Institute; Ferras Vinh, Internet Policy Manager, Mozilla; Caitlin Chin, The Brookings Institution (moderator).

by
Net Caucus

Net CaucusOn March 12 2015 the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee (ICAC) hosted Encrypting Smartphones and Internet Messages: Are Americans More or Less Secure?. Recently the “Crypto Wars” debate started anew when FBI Director Comey suggested that Apple and Google’s encrypting their smart phones presented grave concerns to law enforcement. He suggested that law enforcement should hold to the keys to such communications. UK Prime Minister David Cameron amplified that concern in the wake of the Paris terrorist attack suggesting that encrypted communications should be beyond the ears of law enforcement. And just recently President Barack Obama has called for public conversation on encryption policy. The data encryption, or crypto, debate is a balancing act between providing digital security for personal communications while allowing security agencies access to prevent or respond to catastrophes. Corporations and privacy advocates argue that strong encryption is good for business and the only way to truly secure your computer or mobile device, but does this protection come at a cost? Are there any technical solutions to address this challenge?

VIDEO: Can Europe Force Internet Censorship? Assessing the Right to be Forgotten @NetCaucusAC #euforgotten

by
icac eu forgotten

On August 8 2014 the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee (ICAC) hosted a panel Can Europe Force Search Engines to Censor Information You’re Looking for on the Internet? Assessing the Right to be Forgotten. Europe’s new privacy right clashes with other deeply held values such as freedom of expression and transparency. Many observers are concerned that the EU’s approach could even affect American Internet users. EU privacy regulators have suggested that the search engines must delete results not only within the EU, but globally, in spite of our First Amendment rights to publish and view the information. Is the right to be forgotten necessary to protect privacy, or does the EU rule go too far? Should the EU be able to limit access to information by American Internet users? Can the right to be forgotten be reconciled with the watchdog role of the press when public figures can use the new procedures to censor potentially embarrassing information?  Speakers: Mike Godwin, Senior Policy Advisor, Internews; Joe Jerome, Policy Counsel, Future of Privacy Forum; Emma Llansó, Director of CDT’s Project on Free Expression, Center for Democracy and Technology; Rob Pegoraro, Columnist, Yahoo Tech; David Hoffman, Director of Security Policy and Global Privacy Officer, Intel. Moderator: Michael Kubayanda, Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee. Video/audio is below. Closed captions are available.

VIDEO: The NSA Surveillance Programs: Assessing The Damage to U.S. Commerce, Confidence & Credibility @NetCaucusAC #ICACNSA

by
NSA CSPAN

On July 18 2014 the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee (ICAC) hosted a panel The NSA Surveillance Programs: Assessing The Damage to U.S. Commerce, Confidence & Credibility. It has been one year since the sweeping NSA surveillance programs were revealed by controversial leaker Edward Snowden. As Congress considers reforming these programs we need to also assess the impact that this controversy has had on U.S. commercial interests, on our confidence in our leaders, and on U.S. credibility both globally and domestically. The revelations could not have come at a worse time for the U.S. tech industry, which was poised to lead the worldwide market in cloud computing. And many accounts indicate that other tech sectors are feeling the impact of the controversy when approaching international markets. Can we quantify the impact on American business? Have the revelations also impacted the confidence and credibility of the U.S. government? Some world leaders — whose own phones had been accessed — have expressed unfeigned outrage about the scope of surveillance. Our panel will discuss these issues and try to quantify the impact against some benchmarks. Speakers: Stewart Baker, Partner, Steptoe & Johnson LLP (former NSA General Counsel); Kevin Bankston, Policy Director, Open Technology Institute, New America Foundation; Chris Hopfensperger, Director, Policy, BSA | The Software Alliance; Shane Tews, Visiting Fellow, American Enterprise Institute (moderator). Video/audio is below. Closed captions are available.
