8:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m. / Risk/opportunity framing: Four quick (non publisher) perspectives

The Internet presents both opportunities and risks for information commerce. It permits the wildly efficient aggregation and sharing of civic, news and social information for important public purposes. At the same time, it is a channel through which invasive release of personal information can flow. Four co-participants briefly frame the range of issues (Eight minutes each, followed by discussion).

        Evslin explains why the news industry may be uniquely able to start a useful network from scratch.
    • Steve Mott, BetterByDesign -- Exchanging value -- today's landscape
        Mott surveys the littered landscape of micropayments, and explains how IVP could aspire to a community-based application that's more workable.
    • Lillie Coney, EPIC -- The price of privacy / regulation and law
        Coney surveys the status of privacy regulation and policy in Washington.
        Searls says we need to ' . . . start constructing technical solutions to the buyer's problem of getting what he or she wants from markets, rather than the seller's problem of getting buyers' attention."

9:30 a.m.-9:45 a.m. -- Networking, bio break (Room 200A)

  • Coffee/tea/snacks available at the first floor cafe

9:45 a.m. 10:15 a.m. -- Roundtable-style convening

  • Discussion: "Confirming the Opportunity: Identifying Task Groups" -- In a facilitated discussion, we confirm our initial framing of challenges and opportunities from Wednesday evening and Thursday's sessions. We then organize task group/break-out discussions to formulate a solution/development strategy. Task groups adjourn to small spaces throughout the Reynolds Journalism Institute for work sessions.

10:30 a.m.-noon -- First Task Group work sessions

  • Every participant in IVP-Blueprint will have the opportunity to call a breakout session. We have enough rooms for eight simultaneous breakouts. Breakout rooms will be assigned on the fly based on the size of each group and whether a whiteboard or LCD/screen are needed. Here are some suggested topics and facilitators for getting started on Thursday morning. Afternoon sessions can be different.


    • Legal/corporate form -- Michael Cook, Todd Eskelsen, Jon Hart, Tom Moody (via Skype)
        Can the Vermont L3C work with a co-operative ownership?
    • Marketing -- Steve Chase, Magid Associates; Chuck Peters, Gazette; Martin Langeveld, News after Newspapers
        How do you create the network from scratch? Via consumers or B-to-B?
    • Advertising -- Greg Schermer, Martin Langeveld, Jim Bursch -- User-reward model, from inference to shared
        How can a system directly reward users for their attention, and compensate their "valet" too?
    • Content -- Syndication opportunities -- Tom Stites, Banyan Project; Howard Saltz, MediaNews; Randy Picht, AP
        How will the network reward publishers for sharing their content?
    • Privacy/demographics/identity -- Lillie Coney, Charles Andres, Lee Wilkins
        How can mainstream media adapt to user-controlled demographics?
    • Business Models/Financial -- Steve Mott, Elizabeth Osder
        What are the closests comparables in terms of financial risks/rewards?
    • Technology / IP rights -- Rick Lerner, Jeff VanderClute, Chynthia Typaldos, Abe Abreu
        How can the IVP service be built and with what technologies?
