Flatirons Summits on Information Policy

The "Flatirons Summits on Information Policy" brings together academics, public interest advocates, governmental officials, and industry leaders to engage in creative thinking and intellectually honest discussion. This forum replicates, in a more informal and smaller environment, the Silicon Flatirons February policy conference, which focuses on the "Digital Broadband Migration." The mission of the Flatirons Summits is to allow for exchanges of ideas under the "Chatham House Rule" -i.e., individual comments are to be quoted only with permission as part of a report that encapsulates the discussion and places it in context.

Our first such forum, held in the spring of 2007, focused on the challenges and opportunities for spurring the development of a next generation network for public safety. Our second such conference, on June 9th and 10th, 2008, we hosted our second "Flatirons Summit, focusing on the use of self-regulatory strategies to address network management issues. For suggestions on topics for future Flatirons Summits, please contact Pierre de Vries, a Senior Adjunct Fellow at Silicon Flatirons.
