[Asis-l] Questions for candidates

[Gailhodge at aol.com]

Dear Toni, Nick, Michel, et al

I know that Toni directed her question about information policy primarily to 
the candidates for president, but this is a favorite topic of mine as Toni 
knows.  Information policy and the choices it reflects on the part of the public, 
government, business, etc. is one of the important factors along with 
technology and society.  In many ways, it is a chicken or egg as to what precipitates 
what.

I agree with Nick that ASIST has been involved with information policy and we 
have done SIG IFP programs as well as other programs from other SIGS that 
have a policy bent.  

However, I think with its diverse membership, ASIST would be a great venue 
for more focused discussions.  Perhaps an information policy summit in 
conjunction with ALISE (on the education aspect), with CENDI to get the government 
perspective and with NFAIS to bring in the commercial and not-for profits might be 
interesting.
