**ELECTIONS***
Speaker: Nathaniel Borenstein, <nsb@nsb.fv.com>,
Chief Scientist, First Virtual Holdings
Topic: Open Protocols for Information Commerce
Location: BFL, AT&T Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ
Agenda:
7:00pm -- Social/networking
7:15pm -- Elections
7:30-9:30pm -- Speaker
Topic Description:
Traditional one-way payment mechanisms, such as cash, credit cards, and
digital cash, presuppose the necessity of payment validation in advance
of the completion of a transaction. In contrast, a "closed loop"
protocol that verifies both payment information and customer
satisfaction permits a far simpler payment engine in an open Internet
environment, and is well-suited to a broad sub-class of Internet
commerce applications. In this talk, I will present the underlying
philosophy, design rationale, and specification overview for a
recently-developed set of open protocols for information commerce.

If war is the violent resolution of
conflict, then peace is not the absence of conflict,
but rather, the ability to resolve conflict without violence.
