>I am a member of the New Media committee for Seattle's Fourth Annual
>Northwest Bookfest, scheduled for October 24th, and 25th, 1998.
>May I invite your participation or suggestions of potential panelists?
>
>I am working to compose a panel of speakers that will discuss Intellectual
>Property: how it is defined, regulated, protected, and not protected within
>the context of the on-line world. Other discussion points would include
>new legislation attempts, application of copyright laws to on-line
>material, key
>players in developing standards, current protocol, and examples of recent
>or on-going cases.
>
>The panel would be moderated and would consist of three or four speakers.
>Ideally, there will be representation from the legal profession and
>publishing industry, as well as an author and an advocate on either side of
>the debate on issues surrounding Intellectual Property as it is applied to
>electronic formats.
>
>Northwest Bookfest, a nonprofit organization, produces an annual literary
>celebration. Now in its fourth year, we are anticipating 25,000
>attendees. It is free to the public and raises tens of thousands of
>dollars for literacy organizations each year from thousands of donors.
>
>We are not able to offer stipends or reimburse speakers for travel or
>hotel expenses, but we are able to promote and sell the latest publication
>that one might have.
>
>If you are interested in participating as a panelist for this topic,
>please contact me via e-mail or phone at your earliest convenience.
>We will want to know your credentials and evidence of your authority on
>the subject (publications, articles, previous speaking engagements, etc.)
>
>Fact sheets on the Festival are readily available and can be mailed upon
>request.
