One year has passed since I began this blog. I know that without looking at a calendar because this week is the Institute for Computer Policy and Law. I started the blog with the conference in 2010. In commemoration of this anniversary, I express my heartfelt gratitude to Doug and Scott at IHE for this opportunity. Writing this blog has often been the most rewarding experience in my work life over this past year.
Steve Worona, erstwhile of Cornell and for the last ten years at EDUCAUSE, and Margie Hodges Shaw, my predecessor at Cornell, established the Institute of Computer Policy and Law sixteen years ago. It was the first of its kind in many respects, certainly to institutionalize a sustained discussion about legal and policy issues in information technologies in higher education but also as a lead in for studies about the Internet from security to user culture generally. If imitation is the highest form of flattery then they have been much flattered.
The Berkman Center for Internet and Society, a brilliant source of insight, meaningful study and a meeting ground for many scholars founded by Charlie Nesson of the Harvard Law School, followed in the wake of ICPL. http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/
So, too, did Cornell's Policy Development Program: http://www.sce.cornell.edu/exec/programs.php?v=POLICY&s=Overview
And EDUCAUSE's Security Professionals Conference: http://net.educause.edu/SecurityConference
This year portends to stand out because the incomparable Steve Worona is retiring from EDUCAUSE. On more than one occasion I have heard him say to well-wishers, "See you around the Net!" Truer words have never been spoken because at Cornell he was the Evangelist for the Internet (long before Vint Cerf went to Google with the same title). Steve Worona is an original. His contributions are peerless. And we would contemplate serious sadness about his retirement if we did not believe that it is just a transition for which we await the next phase in wonder.
