In honor of its 10th Anniversary of defending civil liberties online, EFF
presents a series of monthly meetings to address important issues where
technology and policy collide. These meetings, entitled "BayFF" kicked off
on July 10th, and will continue throughout the year. The upcoming BayFF
features digital librarian Karen Coyle, and entrepreneur Ted Wham, formally
of Excite at Home. They will engage in debate surrounding privacy issues on
the Net. It's sure to be lively.

Ted Wham is President of "Database Marketing for the Internet," an
independent consultancy operating in Silicon Valley, California. Prior to
starting his own business Wham worked in various managerial positions at the
top-ten Internet portal and broadband service provider Excite at Home with
responsibility for the company's registration products, outbound email
marketing programs, website traffic analytics, and customer data privacy
policies. Prior to joining Excite at Home he held database marketing positions
at Hewlett-Packard, Viacom, and a closely held direct marketing firm in
Seattle.

Karen Coyle is a librarian by trade with nearly 20 years experience
developing computer systems for libraries. She currently works at the
University of California in the California Digital Library. While active in
developing digital libraries, she is outspoken about the effects, both
negative and positive, electronic information is having on society.

She is active in Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, a
non-profit organization for people concerned with the impact of computer
technology on society. She speaks and writes on the effect of computer
culture on privacy, intellectual property, social equality and gender image.
