[ale] GA SB315 Lobby Day TOMORROW at the State Capitol

[Scott M. Jones]

You're cordially invited along with Electronic Frontiers Georgia to
attend SB315 Lobby Day tomorrow 9:00 a.m. to noon at the State Capitol
Building (i.e. Gold Dome).  We will meet in the rotunda at walk in level
and get a brief introduction to the legislative process.  After that we
will attempt to speak to our legislators at "The Rope" where we will
address our concerns.

Read EFF's article on SB 315 for more of a background.  This computer
intrusion law threatens non-commercial and academic security research as
could make Terms of Service (TOS) violations a criminal matter.

Tomorrow is actually NOT the most critical day for this legislation but
it is a chance for us to get to know our legislators and the process.
If the bill is approved by the Senate, we will attempt to testify at the
House committee meeting, and that is an all-hands-on-deck alert.
Committee meetings are often on short notice and subject to change dates
and times at the whim of the legislature.  So tomorrow's event is the
only date we can count on for sure.

Please RSVP to us if you can make it.

Thanks,
Scott

P.S. No signs this time and business attire.
