Program and speakers are set and background resources and scenarios
are now available online for the day-long Copyright Town Meeting
being held this Saturday September 7 at the Hilton Toronto Hotel, as
part of the Museum Computer Network's annual conference. The meeting
is free to all, but registration is required to ensure that
sufficient materials are available for participants.
Focused on the creation of copyright policy in a digital environment,
the 19th NINCH Copyright Town Meeting will be part presentation, part
practicum. It will open with several speakers defining what policy
is, what core values it represents, why it is important to have and
what international issues need to be considered.
In the second half of the meeting two practitioners will highlight
the details of policy building. Brian Porter will report on his
policy experience at the Royal Ontario Museum, while Rachelle Browne,
Assistant General Counsel at the Smithsonian Institution, will
demonstrate how an institution's larger values play in constructing
policy. Participants will then form working groups to construct their
own policy solutions to particular museum situations. The results of
the working groups will be reviewed by a panel of all speakers.
The Toronto meeting complements the NINCH Copyright Town Meeting held
November 2001 in Eugene, Oregon, on "Creating Policy: Copyright
Policies in the University." Laura Gasaway, a key presenter and
organizer of the Eugene meeting, is a featured speaker in Toronto. A
report on the Eugene Town Meeting and workshop can be seen at
http://www.ninch.org/copyright/2001/eugenereport.html
The report on this meeting will form the basis for a book, to be
published next Spring by the Canadian Heritage Information Network in
association with NINCH, on "Creating IP Policy in Museums."
Featured speakers:
* Rachelle Browne, Assistant General Counsel, Smithsonian Institution
* Laura N. Gasaway, Director of Law Library and Professor of Law,
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
* Christopher Hale, Partner, Blake, Cassels and Graydon, LLP., Toronto
* Maria Pallante, Associate General Counsel, Guggenheim Museum/Foundation
* Rina Pantalony, Legal Counsel, Canadian Heritage Information Network
* Brian Porter, Director, New Media Resources, Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto
The NINCH Copyright Town Meetings seek to balance expert opinion and
audience participation on the basics of copyright law, the
implications of copyright online, recent changes in copyright law and
practice, and practical issues related to the networking of cultural
heritage materials. The program will include plenty of time for
audience questions, comments and discussion. For information on all
