COUNCIL

Open Forum

To:	University Community
From:	Larry Gross, Chair, University Council Steering Committee
Date:	February 4, 2000
Subject:	University Council February 9, 2000 Meeting

At the last University Council meeting held on Wednesday, January 19, 2000, the Committee on Communications proposed a policy on privacy in the electronic environment. Given the level of interest in this policy, University Council will sponsor an open forum for all members of the University Community to participate in discussion of the proposed policy. The meeting will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, February 9, in McClelland Hall, the Quadrangle from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. and is open to any member of the University Community who wishes to attend, subject to space limitations. Penn ID is required for entrance to the Quadrangle.

Given the many questions raised, the proposed policy was revised. To fully participate in discussion we recommend you review the revised proposed policy in this issue of Almanac, or between issues at www.upenn.edu/almanac/between/e-privacy2.html. There also are a number of other documents, including the original draft policy published in the January 11, 2000 issue of Almanac at www.upenn.edu/almanac/v46/n16/e-privacy.html. The Acceptable Use Policy for the Electronic Environment and Safeguarding University Assets also are recommended. Links to these relevant documents have been established on-line from both the original and revised proposed policies.
