how can a technological architecture that is centralized
(i.e., all websites except HBS under the "harvard.edu" domain) coexist
with the decentralized "intellectual architecture" of the institution?

Suppose there were to be, years from now, an International
Internet Educational Broad- and Narrow-casting network, up a level
in imagination from National Public Radio. Could you imagine Harvard
being part of it? A big part of it?

The panelists seem to assume that this technology
architecture will always be provided by Harvard. Isn't it increasingly
likely with the convergence of the "net" and wireless technologies
/ pdas / etc., that students and facutly will no longer need / want
Harvard's services?

Doesn't "cyberspace" give over-achievers an even better,
safer "place to fail?" Isn't true anonymity the best way? Given
such anonymity, does it matter how many people are watching?

A year and a half ago, RIAA sent letter to 15 major
colleges asking them to shut down access to Napster. Most backed
down. Harvard did so partially. Do you see Harvard's role as taking
RIAA to court (or leadin other legal battles)? Perhaps it is the
only one who can afford such a thing? What is Harvard's role in
the market (against commercial censorship, not state censorship)?

How can the technology architecture of Harvard facilitate
communication and the educational experience among its various schools?
More simply, does the system help us be more of a community?

Should Harvard draw up a policy to preempt the Total
Information Access initiative? This is an opportunity for direct
action and protest if the Homeland Security Department does start
to become totalitarian.

Pennsylvania is currently pioneering a new way of
preventing the distribution of pornography on the Internet: requiring
destination ISPs serving Pennsylvania residents to block access
to sites that the state Attorney General identifies as pornographic.
In a recent paper, Jonathan Zittrain argues that this may be the
most promising way of controlling P2P traffic in copyrighted material
and other forms of illegal or undesirable behavior on the Internet.
Should Harvard, as a large "destination ISP," resist or encourage
this strategy. What are its advantages and disadvantages for the
members of the Harvard community?

To what extent is Harvard really free to make its
own decisions in designing its infrastructure? Isn't Harvard bounded
by the liability it faces from many different camps in making its
"decisions?" (Liability in the face of intellectual property right
infringements, state and federal security regulations, privacy regulations,
etc.)
