[Ssc-dev] Fwd: PRGLabs - Want to Be Involved?

[Andrew Senior]

Sounds reasonable to associate with them, or at least see what that might
involve.
Here's the website by the way (note the "commitment" phrase):
http://www.law.nyu.edu/centers/ili/PrivacyResearchGroup/index.htm

"Welcome to the Privacy Research Group home page. The Privacy Research Group
is a weekly meeting of students, professors, and industry professionals who
are passionate about exploring, protecting, and understanding privacy in the
digital age.

*"Joining the PRG:* Because we deal with early stage work in progress,
attendance at meetings of the Privacy Research Group is generally limited to
researchers and students who can commit to ongoing participation in the
group.  To discuss joining the group, please contact Professor
Nissenbaum<hfn1 at nyu.edu>or Professor
Strandburg <strandburg at exchange.law.nyu.edu>.  If you are interested in
these topics, but cannot commit to ongoing participation in the PRG, please
check out the offerings of our Colloquium on Information Technology and
Society."
