Our panelists, all respected Computer Scientists introduce topics as new disclosures are made, and the forum is open to the public for discussion. This site is hosted at the Information Security Institute at Johns Hopkins University.

I presume Bill Joy will be joining the center any day now? Surely genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics are open to abuse, right? I have to wonder if the panelists realized the fundamental alignment with Joy's argument when they established the Center. There is no mention of Bill Joy on the web site.

This center needs to rapidly expand its scope (and membership) beyond information technology.
