[Sigifp-l] New officers

[Burgess, John]

Greetings all,

Thank you to Shannon, A.J., and Emily for your service and for putting together an excellent workshop. I’m looking forward to developing a few projects with you all this year as we continue to raise awareness of the importance of policy and ethics research.

The conference theme that we have to work with is tailor-made for us to make a significant contribution, “Building an ethical and sustainable information future with emerging technologies.” Shannon was kind enough to share a pair of planning documents to stimulate conversation, so at this point I think it would be a good idea to open up discussion of one or more projects to undertake before the next conference, such as webinars, as well as 2018 conference session ideas.  I’ll start us off. I have an interest in the topic of sustainability ethics and will be happy to take the lead on developing either a pre-conference workshop or panel on this topic. Who would like to take on one of the other listed projects, or what other projects do you have in mind?

Cheers,

John
