> Greetings, officers!
>  
> My name is Brandi Loveday and I am the current Chair of SIG IFP. I would like to pass this call along to you and possibly to your members. Information Policy has been woefully under-represented for at least the past two conferences and we are hoping to change that this year. Information Policy affects every single person, whether we consciously think about it or not.
>  
> We are looking for (4-5) representatives from the various countries willing to discuss different topics that are currently being affected by information policy: privacy, intellectual property, freedom of speech, and other pertinent topics. We would like to have the US, Canada, at least one country from the EU, one from developing countries, and hopefully a representative who has conducted research or has interest in policy from China/Japan/Korea/Russia.
>  
> If you are interested in being a part of this panel (or know someone who is), please send the following to me (or have them send the following) so I can create the proposal from your submissions.
> 
> The requirements are as follows and should be submitted to me by APRIL 5, 2013 as the deadline is April 15, I believe.
> ***Name
> ***Credentials
> ***A brief synopsis (2-3 paragraphs) of your topic for the panel.
> 
> Panel members must already be planning to attend the Annual Conference.
> 
> (Taken from ASIS&T's posting) Panels: The proposals for panels on topics that can be either research- or practice- oriented are welcomed. The topics range from emerging cutting-edge research and design, analyses of emerging trends, opinions on controversial issues, analyses of tools and techniques, to contrasting viewpoints from experts in complementary professional areas. Panels must have a cohesive theme and promote lively discussions between panelists and audience members. Proposals should provide a description (2-4 pages) of the issues to be discussed, and a list of panelists who have agreed to participate with their qualifications and contributions to the panel.
>  
>  
> We are also looking for one or two more folks that may be interested in discussing the Wiley decision (with Shelley Warwick) in a panel.
> I have copied Shelley on this email and if anyone is interested in her ideas about the Wiley decision, please contact her.
> 
> Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!
