Public Talk: The Framing Years: Policy Fundamentals in the Internet Design Process, 1969-1979
Description:
Those responsible for the technical decision making that created the Internet found they had to think through a number of social policy issues, from privacy and intellectual property rights through the definition of common carriage and environmental problems, along the way. In this presentation Dr. Sandra Braman, Professor of Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, examines such policy fundamentals as they appear in the technical document series that records the Internet design process, the Internet Requests for Comments (RFCs), during the first decade of that process, 1969-1979. This event is hosted by the Information Policy and Access Center (http://ipac.umd.edu).
