5 p.m.-6 p.m. -- Who's in the room, and why? (Hampton Inn: Columbia Room)

  • A circle-round convening of the member/collaborator group. Each collaborator joins us because they bring something specific to the strategic development process. Sort out goals and objectives for the IVSC; identify task groups: legal/corporate, marketing, engineering, financial/settlement, privacy/demographics, business models and others. Who's in the room, what do we bring, what do we want to take away?

  • 7:45 a.m.-8:00 a.m. -- Autos and shuttle vehicle(s) should leave for Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI)
  • 8:25 a.m. -- Convene in the Fred W. Smith Forum, Room 200 at RJI Building, South 9th & Elm streets

8:25 a.m.-9:35 a.m. / Risk/opportunity framing: A news-industry lenader challenges; four non-publishers respond

CHALLENGE: What’s the challenge/opportunity facing the newspaper industry and how might the Information Valet Project, and the ideas and technologies represented in this room, help? Greg Schermer, vp-interactive at Lee Enterprises, lays a challenge in front of us. (10 minutes)

RESPONSES: The Internet presents both opportunities and risks for information commerce. It permits the wildly efficient aggregation and sharing of civic, news and social information for important public purposes. At the same time, it is a channel through which invasive release of personal information can flow. Four co-participants briefly frame the range of issues for news and journalism. (Eight minutes each, followed by discussion).

        Evslin explains why the news industry may be uniquely able to start a useful network from scratch.
    • Steve Mott, BetterByDesign -- Exchanging value -- today's landscape
        Mott surveys the littered landscape of micropayments, and explains how IVP could aspire to a community-based application that's more workable.
    • Lillie Coney, EPIC -- The price of privacy / regulation and law
        Coney surveys the status of privacy regulation and policy in Washington.
        Searls, author of The Cluetrain Mainfesto, says we need to ' . . . start constructing technical solutions to the buyer's problem of getting what he or she wants from markets, rather than the seller's problem of getting buyers' attention."

9:30 a.m.-9:45 a.m. -- Networking, bio break (Room 200A)

  • Coffee/tea/snacks available at the first floor cafe

9:45 a.m. 10:20 a.m. -- Roundtable-style convening

  • Discussion: "Confirming the Opportunity: Identifying Task Groups" -- In a facilitated discussion, we confirm our initial framing of challenges and opportunities from Wednesday evening and Thursday's sessions. We then organize task group/break-out discussions to formulate a solution/development strategy. Task groups adjourn to smaller spaces throughout the Reynolds Journalism Institute for work sessions. (Discussion leader: Jane Stevens, RJI Fellow, 2008-2009)

10:30 a.m.-noon -- First Task Group work sessions

  • Every participant in IVP-Blueprint will have the opportunity to call a breakout session. We have enough rooms for eight simultaneous breakouts. Breakout rooms will be assigned on the fly based on the size of each group and whether a whiteboard or LCD/screen are needed. Breakout convenor needs to appoint a raconteur to take notes for posting. Post notes to infovalet@gmail.com. Below are some suggested topics and facilitators for getting started on Thursday morning. Afternoon sessions will likely change, based on what's learned in the morning.


    • Legal/corporate form -- Michael Cook, Todd Eskelsen, Jon Hart, Tom Moody (via Skype)
        Can the Vermont L3C work with a co-operative ownership?
    • Marketing -- Steve Chase, Magid Associates; Chuck Peters, Gazette; Martin Langeveld, News after Newspapers
        How do you create the network from scratch? Via consumers or B-to-B?
    • Advertising -- Greg Schermer, Martin Langeveld, Jim Bursch -- User-reward model, from inference to shared
        How can a system directly reward users for their attention, and compensate their "valet" too?
    • Content -- Syndication opportunities -- Tom Stites, Banyan Project; Howard Saltz, MediaNews; Randy Picht, AP
        How will the network reward publishers for sharing their content?
    • Privacy/demographics/identity -- Lillie Coney, Charles Andres, Lee Wilkins
        How can mainstream media adapt to user-controlled demographics?
