Important Program Information
Please note that the iLaw 2011 Program is a Harvard Law School class that is closed to the public. Attendance is restricted to registered students and invited guests.

Discussion List

Before, during, and after the program, all iLaw attendees are welcome to participate in discussions on the listserv (ilaw2011[--at--]eon.law.harvard.edu). Please note that any emails sent to this address will be forwarded to all 200+ participants.

Twitter Tags

We’ll use tags to help find photos, blog posts and more created by conference attendees. The universal tag is #ilaw2011.

Facebook

The Facebook event group is open to anyone. If you’re on Facebook, you can meet other conference attendees on our group event page. Become a fan of the Berkman Center.

IRC

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. For Hyper-public, we’ll be using IRC to create a Berkman chat channel. To join the chat, download an IRC client and join the Berkman channel at Freenode, linked below. If you use Firefox, an easy IRC client plugin is Chatzilla.

YouTube Channel

On Berkman’s YouTube channel, you can catch highlights of past events, interviews, and other Berkman media.

Live Question Tool

Live Question Tool is a web-based service that lets audience members post questions for the speaker or for other participants. As questions are added, other participants can submit comments and cast votes for the questions they hope to see answered first. The Question Tool is hosted on Berkman's website, where it is freely available to anyone who wants to use it.

We have set up an up an "iLaw instance" for the Question tool which will be monitored by students throughout the sessions.

Select "iLaw instance" from the drop-down menu and click "Submit Query".

Click "post a question" to add new questions, or click "reply" to respond to questions already posted.

Input your question/reply and submit!

"Discussion" Pages on the Wiki

Each page on the iLaw wiki contains a "Discussion" page (or talk page). Registered users are permitted to add and edit text to these pages. The discussion pages will be used as Sign-up sheets for events and as pages for general discussion. We encourage all participants to add questions, links to news articles, general comments, or discuss topics with one another!

For questions related to editing or using the iLaw wiki email David O'Brien, or consult the MediaWiki Handbook.

-* Choose a session of interest, along with up to 5 other students (sign up is available on a google doc that can be linked to from the wiki).
+{{clear}}
-* During the session, you and your team will take charge of the question tool, monitor backchannels and help identify key questions and priority issues. You will help the session leader to integrate them into the Q&A periods and other parts of the discussion. You may also document some questions that might be useful during the final “Future of the Internet” session on Friday.
-==Option B, Audio/Video Output==
+==Driving Questions on the Wiki==
-For students with some knowledge/experience with audio/video production, we would be happy to have you record some portion of the proceedings (including interviews with key commentators, session leads and other contributors) and create a multi-media output. This might be a record of the program overall, a deeper dive into a certain topic, etc. Berkman staff may provide some (modest) production support. All final work products are due by the Friday, October 7th.
-==Option C. Final Presentation: Lightning Talk, Provocation, Response Statement.==
--3:30 PM on Friday afternoon,is allotted for student and participant presentations. Audience members who sign up will have 5-10 minutes to provide substantive reflections on the iLaw sessions and the program overall, or offer central issues for the faculty to answer/consider during the “Future of the Internet” discussion. They might also provide a deeper dive into a particular module or interesting case for further study, etc. The focus here would be on developing a short and creative presentation or statement, to be followed by brief and lightly moderated Q&A with the broader audience.
-Option D. Written Output: Post-iLaw Reflections
-In the wake of the program, and in particular, in light of the “Future of the Internet session,” you will provide a reaction statement or op-ed style piece--no longer than 900 words—that examines some of the hard problems at the core of the developing online space. You might choose to reflect on the evolution of traditional concepts such as privacy, security, and liberty, and their evolution in the online space, or to consider emerging issues that may confirm or challenge some of the core themes that were touched on in our discussion. You could also make the case for other themes, issues, or hard questions that require more attention in future iLaws. The best pieces will be posted to the iLaw wiki.  All final work products are due by the Friday, October 7th.
