On May 30, the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings will host a forum on the future of energy efficiency and its relevance for the Internet ecosystem.

Web Privacy Measurement is a two-day conference. The first day, May 31, is invitation-only and is now fully booked. The second day, June 1, is open to the public. WPM will be held at the Bancroft Hotel in Berkeley, California. No proceedings will be published.

This workshop will provide information on the U.S. Government Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap initiative.

Discussion of Cyberinfrastructure Framework for 21st Century Science and Engineering (CIF21) programs and planning and update on Office of
Cyberinfrastructure activities.

The Federal Communications Commission’s Communications Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council will hold its fourth meeting.

Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC) aims to assemble a wide array of privacy law scholars and practitioners from around the world to discuss current issues and foster greater connections between academia and practice. It will bring together privacy law scholars, privacy scholars from other disciplines (economics, philosophy, political science, computer science), and practitioners (industry, legal, advocacy, and government). Our goal is to enhance ties within the privacy law community and to facilitate dialogue between the different parts of that community (academy, government, industry, and public interest).

Whether your interest is in preserving Internet freedom and opportunity, changing the economic power structure, new challenges for cyberlaw, or just turning the tables on privacy-violating business models and practices, there will be plenty to hear and discuss at Doc Searls' talk, "The Intention Economy: When Customers Take Charge" — also the title of his new book from Harvard Business Review Press.
