If you like, add a few words on who you are, and why you want to participate. The workshop will be streamed live in RealVideo by OVA <http://ova.zkm.de>. There will be a chat allowing questions and statements from the net to be translated into the workshop. The workshop will be documented on the net. The workshop provides an opportunity for the free software and hacking crowd to meet one of the foremost specialists on cyber law and Internet governance, Lawrence Lessig. Additionally to introducing fundamental concepts like regulation through code, the workshop will address two current issues. One is ICANN, the Internet Corporation on Assigned Names and Numbers. The elections of the membership at large to its board of directors is currently under preparation and expected in fall. Jeanette Hofmann will give an introduction to this issue. The other is the decision of the European Commission's DG XV expected in June on whether or not to introduce software patenting in Europe. The introduction here will be given by Daniel Riek. The focus of the workshop will be on discussion.
