Tech Talk For The Obama Administration
On Monday night, Georgetown University's Center for Business and Public Policy hosted a presentation by FCC Commissioner Deborah Taylor Tate, who will discuss "Communications Policy: Issues and Opportunities Facing the Next Administration." This was a swan song of sorts for Taylor Tate, a Republican whose term on the FCC formally expired last year -- and who must leave the commission prior to when the new Congress is sworn in.
On Tuesday, the Center for Democracy and Technology will release a set of transition documents aimed at helping the Obama administration craft a policy agenda across a range of areas -- including security, free speech, consumer privacy, health information technology, copyright protection, and Internet-related issues. The documents, already in the hands of Obama transition team members, are drawn from CDT's "Internet in Transition" project that was developed during the presidential election cycle.
On Thursday, four former officials of the Patent and Trademark Office will discuss that agency's policies and priorities in the Obama administration at a lunchtime forum hosted by the Computing Technology Industry Association. Speakers include Q. Todd Dickinson, Nicholas Godici, Bruce Lehman, and Gerald Mossinghoff.
