     Given the centrality of the Internet to global communications and 
democracy in general, it is critical that we ask what a responsive and 
ethical Internet would look like.  The German Green Party, the only 
political party with a clear moral and ethical basis, is struggling 
with that very issue.  

     "Democracy in Cyberspace" offers the community an 
opportunity to engage in the dialogue.  Speakers will address 
democratic access, universal service, privacy protection, democratic 
policy-making, provision of equitable workplaces, reduction of the gap 
between the info-rich and the info-poor, and freedom to communicate.
