[ga] ANNOUNCE: A Day with the North-American ICANN Candidates

["Ben Edelman" <edelman@law.harvard.edu>]

The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School and the
Internet Democracy Project are pleased to announce two events featuring the
ICANN North American candidates, both in Cambridge, Massachusetts on Monday,
October 2, 2000.  In these events, both open to the public and webcast with
remote participation, the seven North-American candidates will engage in an
informal dialogue and participate in a formal candidate debate.

* "A Dialogue with the Candidates," 4:20-6:00PM EDT, moderated by Jonathan
Zittrain, Professor, Harvard Law School.  Professor Jonathan Zittrain's
Internet & Society class will host a moderated discussion with the
candidates, exploring the role of ICANN as an organization, the role of the
ICANN directors, and the scope and meaning of ICANN's At-Large Membership.
The discussion will be open to the public and webcast live with remote
participation.  Both the online and in-person audiences will have the
opportunity to pose questions for the candidates.  This event is presented
by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society.

* "ICANN North-American Candidate Forum," 7:30-9:30PM EDT, moderated by
David Johnston, President, Waterloo University.  Expanding the format of the
Presidential Commission debates, David Johnston has been invited to moderate
a question-and-answer session among the seven North-American ICANN
candidates about the issues facing ICANN and the role of ICANN itself.
Candidates will respond to questions posed by a distinguished panel
including Declan McCullagh of Wired Magazine.  The forum will be open to the
public in-person and online via webcast with a real-time discussion forum.
After the forum, candidates will have the opportunity to submit brief
written follow-up responses to the forum's questions, and these responses
will be posted along with video and other archive materials in the archive.
This event is presented by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society and the
Internet Democracy Project.
