re: ftc to host public workshop on spyware issues |
Not Me

Beth,
Does the FTC ever do virtual/webinar workshops so that folks in the rest of the country can participate? I am sure a webinar arrangement could be quickly outsourced to a third party, such as WebEx or PlacWare, etc, who would be only too happy to manage virtual participation for a reasonable fee ($50 for the day?) by participants.
And if you can manage to give a positive response to the above suggestion, I am happy to provide you with any free advice on your next trip abroad -- Ireland? ;-)
Cheers, Austin.

A Federal Register Notice describing the workshop in more detail will be published shortly. The workshop, which will be held at the FTC’s Conference Center at 601 New Jersey Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., will be open to the public.
