The F2C:Freedom to Connect Conference is taking place in Washington DC today and tomorrow May 21-22 2012. Speakers include Vint Cerf, Rebecca Mackinnon, Cory Doctorow, Sascha Meinrath, Susan Crawford, and Eben Moglen.
F2C: Freedom to Connect, inaugurated in 2005, is a conference devoted to preserving and celebrating the essential properties of the Internet. The phrase Freedom to Connect is now official US foreign policy, thanks to Secretary of State Clinton, who said in 2010 “the idea that governments should not prevent people from connecting to the internet, to websites, or to each other. The freedom to connect is like the freedom of assembly, only in cyberspace.”
Registration for the webcast is $20, however since ISOC-NY is sponsoring the webcast we can offer our members free access. For the password: email admin@isoc-ny.org with the subject “F2C webcast”. The webcast will be publically archived at https://www.youtube.com/user/F2C2012

I’ve spotted a couple of titling errors in the above. I will update the files in the next day or so.
On Tuesday, April 3rd 2012 the Internet Society’s New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) met with new North American Regional Bureau Director of the Internet Society, Paul Brigner. Paul has worked on policy at Verizon, and is the former Chief Technology Policy Officer of the Motion Picture Association of the America (MPAA), in both of which roles he has advocated positions that might not absolutely concur with the prevailing outlook at the Chapter. He is also an active member of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
This was an opportunity to talk to Paul about his views, ways in which the global organization can build better working relationships with its Chapters, and means of furthering ISOC’s mission of promoting an Open Internet.
Video is now available of last week’s Wagner Policy Alliance event “State of the Digital City: Government 2.0 and its Impact on Policymaking”
