> 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?

> 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?

> 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?
>

> Moderator: Eddan Katz - Executive Director, Information Society
> Project and Lecturer-in-Law and Associate Research Scholar, Yale Law

> Society, Harvard Law School
> Eric Goldman - Assistant Professor and Director, High Tech Law

> 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?
