DISCUSSION DRAFT:
The Information Valet Project: Making the Market for Digital Information
A senior-level strategy session combined with a public symposium designed to blueprint the law, ownership, management, marketing and technology of a shared-user network for user-centric demographics, privacy-protected purchasing and advertising exchange and compensation.
- Proposed attendance: at least 20-30 people.
- Two levels of participation:
- Member/collaborators -- Folks who represent enterprises, instutitutions or foundations who are likely to play a key role (money or time) in forming the Information Valet Service Corp. (IVSC) This might be 15-20 people. This is a targettted/invited group. For this group, I would propose NO registration fee, to make it clear that we are inviting them to participate and we control the invitation.
- Participants -- Other folks who are interested. This could be a much larger group, if we can handle it. Regisration would be open. Perhaps as many as 50 more people.
PROPOSED SCHEDULE
A bullet-point summary of a possible schedule:
- Folks fly in on Wednesday and get set up at our designated event

WEDNESDAY
- 3 p.m.-5 p.m. -- A convening of the member/collaborator group. These are
