CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
REPUTATION ECONOMIES IN CYBERSPACE
December 8, 2007
Yale Law School
The Information Society Project at Yale Law School is proud
to present Reputation Economies in Cyberspace. The
symposium will be held on December 8, 2007 at Yale Law
School in New Haven, CT.
This event will bring together representatives from
industry, government, and academia to explore themes in
online reputation, community-mediated information
production, and their implications for democracy and
innovation. The symposium is made possible by the generous
support of the Microsoft Corporation.
A distinguished group of experts will map out the terrain
of reputation economies in four panels: (1) Making Your
Name Online; (2) Privacy and Reputation Protection; (3)
Reputation and Information Quality; and (4) Ownership of
Cyber-Reputation. See below for more detail on each panel;
a current list of confirmed speakers is available at the
conference website.
REGISTRATION:
Online registration is available now at:
There is a $95 registration fee ($45 for non-Yale
students), which includes lunch. Yale students and faculty
and members of the press may attend for free. For more
information, see:
PROGRAM:
SYMPOSIUM ON REPUTATION ECONOMIES IN CYBERSPACE
Panel I: Making Your Name Online
Moderator: Jack Balkin - Director, Information Society
Project and Knight Professor of Constitutional Law and the
First Amendment, Yale Law School
Panelists:
Michel Bauwens - Founder, The Foundation for P2P
Alternatives
Rishab A. Ghosh - Senior Researcher, United Nations
University-MERIT
Auren Hofman - CEO, Rapleaf
Hassan Masum - Senior Research Co-ordinator, McLaughlin-
Rotman Centre for Global Health
Beth Noveck - Professor of Law and Director, Institute for
Information Law and Policy, New York Law School
This panel will discuss the shifts in the reputation
economy that we are witnessing, largely the transition from
accreditation to participatory, community-based modes of
reputation management.
Some of the questions the panel will address include:
What are the new norms for cyber-reputation?
How do these depart from offline models?
How can reputation in one online system be transported to
another?
How do SNS and reputation connect?
How do you bootstrap and cash out?
Panel II: Privacy and Reputational Protection
Moderator: Michael Zimmer - Microsoft Resident Fellow,
Information Society Project and Post-Doctoral Associate,
Yale Law School
Panelists:
Alessandro Acquisti - Assistant Professor of Information
Technology and Public Policy, H. John Heinz III School of
Public Policy and Management, Carnegie Mellon University
Danielle Citron - Assistant Professor of Law, University of
Maryland School of Law
William McGeveran - Associate Professor, University of
Minnesota Law School
Dan Solove - Associate Professor, George Washington
University Law School
Jonathan Zittrain - Professor of Internet Governance and
Regulation, Oxford University; Visiting Professor for
Entrepreneurial Legal Studies, Harvard Law School
Cyber-reputation management is based on transactions in
information that is often sensitive and is always
contextual. This brings up many questions about the need
to protect one's privacy and reputation within and outside
this system.
Some of the questions the panel will address:
How is participation in cyber-reputation systems related to
defamation and free speech?
What happens when cyber-reputation spills over into offline
activities and relationships like the political process,
job applications, or school admissions?
What happens when your second life meets your first?
Requiring divulgence of real name or other personal data.
Is opting out possible?
Pending legislation on S495 - data security and privacy.
Panel III: Reputational Quality and Information Quality
Moderator: Laura Forlano - Visiting Fellow, Information
Society Project
Panelists:
Urs Gasser - Associate Professor of Law, University of St.
Gallen
Ashish Goel - Associate Professor, Management Science and
Engineering and Computer Science, Stanford University
Darko Kirovski - Senior Researcher, Microsoft Corporation
Mari Kuraishi - President, Global Giving Foundation
Vipul Ved Prakash - Founder, Cloudmark
Evidently, unlike traditional reputation mechanisms that
relied on small group acquaintances and formal
accreditation mechanisms, the cyber-reputation economy is
heavily mediated by technology. This raises the risk of
breaking the delicate checks and balances that are
necessary for the system to ensure quality of both the
informational outcomes and the participants' reputation.
This panel will try to highlight the connections between
the way the new systems are built, and the outcome they
produce.
Some of the questions the panel will address:
How can we assure quality in online reputation economies?
What is the connections between the system design and the
quality information?
How good are the alternative accreditation mechanisms and
how easy are they to hijack?
How can employment discrimination law adapt to the
realities of online reputation?
Panel IV: Ownership of Cyber-Reputation
Moderator: Eddan Katz - Executive Director, Information
Society Project and Lecturer-in-Law and Associate Research
Scholar, Yale Law School
Panelists:
John Clippinger - Senior Fellow, Berkman Center for
Internet & Society, Harvard Law School
Eric Goldman - Assistant Professor and Director, High Tech
Law Institute, Santa Clara University School of Law faculty
Bob Sutor - Vice President Open Source and Standards, IBM
Corporation
Mozelle Thompson - Thompson Strategic Consulting; (former
FTC Commissioner)
Rebecca Tushnet - Professor, Georgetown University Law
Center
The data and information that are collected in online
reputation systems are both valuable and powerful. The
ability to control this information, store it, process it,
access it, and transport it are crucial to the maintenance
of the reputation economy. This panel will address the
important set of questions that concern the ownership of
this information.
Some questions the panel will address:
Who owns one's online reputation? Who owns the metadata?
How portable is online reputation? Should it be
transportable from one system to another?
How is reputation connected to the interoperability
question? Should we have international standards governing
reputation?

CALL FOR PAPERS
for an International Conference on
THE INDUSTRIAL ORGANISATION OF SECURITIES MARKETS:
COMPETITION, LIQUIDITY AND NETWORK EXTERNALITIES
to be held in
Frankfurt, Germany, June 13-14, 2008
Organized by Center for Financial Studies,
E-Finance Lab and Deutsche Borse AG
Deadline for submissions: January 15, 2008
We are inviting submissions of papers for an international
conference on "The Industrial Organisation of Securities
Markets: Competition, Liquidity and Network Externalities".
The objective of the conference is to bring together
academics and members of the industry to focus on state-of-
the-art academic research in an environment that stimulates
discussions and an exchange of ideas.
TOPICS:
The securities markets landscape has been changing quite
significantly over the last years, through the increase of
competition, the advancement of technology and the
restructuring of the industry. This process depends heavily
on the characteristics of the industry within the
individual layers of the entire value chain (trading,
clearing and settlement), be it e.g. liquidity effects and
network externalities. The industrial organisation of
securities markets will keep on evolving, as the value
chain will be impacted by regulatory changes. In the
European Union initiatives such as the Markets in Financial
Instruments Directive (MiFID) or the clearing and
settlement industry's Code of Conduct, and in the USA the
Regulation NMS are already challenging the industry of
securities markets. Therefore, the aim of the conference is
to shed light on all aspects of the industrial organization
of securities markets. This not only includes trading but
also clearing and settlement services, and both cash and
derivative markets. The submission of both theoretical and
empirical papers in the following fields is especially
encouraged:
- Competition for order, clearing and settlement flows
- Consolidation vs. fragmentation effects at the various
levels along the value chain
- Importance of liquidity effects
- Existence and impact of network externalities
- Implications of new regulations
CONFERENCE CHAIRS:
Peter Gomber, Frankfurt University and E-Finance Lab
Erik Theissen, University of Bonn and Center for Financial
Studies
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Research papers should be sent electronically (MS Word or
pdf) together with full contact information to:
CONTACT: Erik Theissen at
Email: MAILTO:theissen@uni-bonn.de
by January 15, 2008.
The authors of selected papers will be notified by March
15, 2008. Accommodation and reasonable travel expenses of
presenters will be covered.

CONFERENCE INFORMATION:
The SOEGW conference is a biennial international meeting
assembling a group of leading economists to present and

monetary and fiscal policies. Since small open economies
are facing challenges which bypass the usual borders of
international economics, we also invite papers in other
areas, including business cycles analysis, economic
geography, general equilibrium, growth, industrial
organization, labour economics, quantitative methods and
regional development. We expect 150 high quality
presentations. The first conference took place in Rimini,
