The recently signed Communications Decency Act (CDA) has intensified
the public debate about free speech on the Internet and kicked off a
flurry of lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the new law.

Network World Fusion has assembled a panel of experts to discuss the
law's ramifications in an on-line conference. Among their topics:
"What should network managers do in the wake of the CDA's signing?"

The panel includes Barry, associate director of  the American Civil
Liberties Union; Susan Getgood, marketing director at Microsystems
Software, Inc., which sells software for blocking access to specific
Web sites; Lee Gesmer, a Boston attorney specializing  in high
technology and computer law; and David Farber, a professor of
telecommunication systems at the  University of Pennsylvania and a
member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation's board of directors.
