chapters on copyright law and management, and international intellectual property
law, published in six different languages. His book on the history and

proposes a licensing regime for file-sharing that could be implemented without
legislative amendments; the other proposes a new TRIPS-compatible international
norm in the field of copyright (the "reverse three-step test") that would protect
rightsholders yet facilitate both private and transformative reuse of copyrighted
material.

Doug Kellner has served as one of the ten commissioners of the New York
City Board of Elections since 1993. He is the Democratic commissioner from
Manhattan.
In his regular job, Commissioner Kellner is a partner in the law firm of
Kellner Chehebar & Deveney. He specializes in the area of real estate litigation
and represents a large number of tenants groups, cooperatives, and some non-profit
institutional landlords. Mr. Kellner received considerable attention in 1986 when
he revived the Bawdy House Law, first enacted in 1840, and used it as a device
where neighbors could seek to evict drug dealers. His use of this law for that
purpose was quickly copied by district attorneys and housing authorities throughout
the country.
Before he became commissioner, Mr. Kellner was the election lawyer for
the Democratic Party in Manhattan. He has argued more than forty election cases
before the New York State Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state. Perhaps
because of his experience as an election lawyer, he became an outspoken advocate
for ballot access reform.
Commissioner Kellner led the opposition to the implementation of
the 1992 contract to replace New York City's lever voting machines with electronic
voting machines, but he has also been instrumental in promoting new technology for
scanning absentee and provisional ballots. He drafted model procedures to open the
process of canvassing ballots to public scrutiny and convinced his fellow
commissioners to adopt rules that provided meaningful due process in ballot
challenges.
Most recently, he led a successful battle to restore devices to New York
City'S lever voting machines to prevent voters from leaving the voting machine
without casting a valid vote. He has become a voice for reform in an agency that
has often been the last to hear that call.

- Plenary 7: The Net: Caught in the FCC's Web?
Jeff Pulver is the President and CEO of pulver.com, and one of the true pioneers
of the Internet telephony/VoIP industry. Leveraging well over a decade of hands-on
experience in Internet/IP communications and innovation, Mr. Pulver is a globally
renowned thought leader, author and entrepreneur. He is the publisher of The Pulver
Report and VON magazine, and creator of the industry standard Voice on the Net
(VON) conferences, where all sectors of the IP communications come together to
discuss, debate, and advance the industry. Additionally, Mr. Pulver is the founder
of Free World Dialup (FWD), the VON coalition, LibreTel, WHP Wireless,
pulverinnovations, Digisip, and is the co-founder of VoIP provider, Vonage.
Most recently, Mr. Pulver's petition for clarification declaring Free World
Dialup as an unregulated information service was granted by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). This landmark decision by the FCC is the first and
only decision it has made on IP communications to date. Now referred to as "the
Pulver decision", the ruling provides important clarification that
computer-to-computer VoIP service is not a telecommunications service. By doing
this, the FCC has delivered a strong signal to consumers and capital markets that
the FCC is not interested in subjecting end-to-end IP Communications services to
traditional voice telecommunications regulation under the Communications Act.
Mr. Pulver's expertise is widely utilized throughout the communications and
Internet industries, which has now extended into the critical public policy arena,
both nationally and internationally. In addition to his work with the FCC, Mr.
Pulver has testified before the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the
United States Congress, the National Association of Regulatory and Utility
Commissioners (NARUC) as well as numerous federal and state agencies who have a
growing interest in IP communications. Named by BusinessWeek as one of their 2003
Tech Gurus. Mr. Pulver is committed to the future of IP communications and is
featured often in the media as true expert in his field. He is a patron/supporter
of the Diabetes Research Institute, Robin Hood, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Weaned on a diet of harsh fluorescent light and Wired magazine, Daniel C.
Silverstein came to Berkeley to study computers and revolution. As it turned out,
the information revolution of the late nineties dwarfed the inconsequential
rumblings of modern student activism. The biggest mistake of his college career was
not dropping out soon enough. Thanks to many bright peers, he found that there was
more to be learned about computers outside the classroom than in. Silverstein took
on several key roles in Berkeley's vibrant student computing community. He remains
active behind the scenes. He currently works as a hacker, code-monkey, and

of Russian security expert Dmitri Skylarov. In 2003 Scannell put his skills to work
to fight CAPPS II, a US government air passenger profiling system. Using websites
such as Boycott Delta (http://www.boycottdelta.org) and Don't Spy

In August 2002 Cindy Southworth launched Safety Net: the
National Safe and Strategic Technology Project at the National Network to End
Domestic Violence Fund (NNEDV). Through this project she provides training and
technical assistance about the safe and strategic use of all forms of technology by
victims of domestic violence and their advocates. The Safety Net Project also
addresses matters such as the risk to victims of placing court records on the
Internet, the dangers of batterers intercepting escape plans through technology,
the privacy levels of the different phones that victims use, and how state and
local programs serving victims can use technology wisely.
Initially funded in August 2002 by the AOL Time Warner
Foundation, the project expanded in October 2003 with a generous grant from the
Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation. This expansion supports a team of 3 who are
providing more trainings to advocates and allies across the country, developing
more educational materials for victims, and creating a unique partnership between
Mary Kay, Inc and the Safety Net project. The Wireless Foundation is also
partnering with NNEDV's Safety Net Project to build a network of technology savvy
