Telecom Retreat: What am I / are we doing here?
From the invitation:
We will be holding a major workshop on Telecommunications policy in Denver, Colorado this August 28-31st, and I would like to invite you to attend.
Congress is embarking on a major restructuring of telecommunications regulation that will have a major impact on the Internet, as well as on libraries that use it, that provide access to it, and that make digital resources available through it. The workshop will be a dialog between telecommunications policy experts and knowledgeable librarians intended
to establish a clear and comprehensive position for libraries in this debate. I realize that this is a significant time commitment for you, but as a member of our advisory committee and as an expert in technology services, your presence and participation is crucial to us and to ALA’s advocacy efforts.
All in all, a good idea whose time has come. I’m flattered to be here.
