The Digital Commerce Society of Boston
Presents
Elias Israel,
Chairman,
The Libertarian Party of Massachusetts
New-Politics.COM:
Applying the Internet commerce model
to the construction of America's
21st Century Political Party
Tuesday, January 4th, 2000
12 - 2 PM
The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston
One Federal Street, Boston, MA
[The Society is pleased to announce the first of a series of three talks
on the effects of digital commerce on the politics of Massachusetts and
the nation.
The first talk is from the Libertarians.
Between now and the November elections, we are reserving one luncheon
each for the Republican and Democratic parties. Contact the Society's
Moderator, below, for further details if you would like to propose a
speaker for one of those talks.]
In a time when Americans are more disgusted with politics and politicians
than ever before, how can a new political party bring its ideas to the
public? Does the emergence of the Internet era, like the Television era
before it, signal a new balance of power between political parties?
Between government and the citizen?
Elias Israel, Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Massachusetts, will
discuss how the Libertarian Party, the third-largest and fastest-growing
in the US, is positioning itself to be the political arm of the Internet
revolution, and how it is using ecommerce techniques to get the word out,
to communicate both internally and externally, and to organize for
improved success.
Elias Israel is Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Massachusetts. The
Libertarian Party is the third largest and fastest growing political
party in Massachusetts and the United States. As the Chairman, Mr. Israel
develops and executes plans and directs volunteer activity for the
infrastructure growth, fundraising, and candidate recruitment activities
of the party.
Mr. Israel is also a high-tech professional, with more than 14 years in
the software industry, working for some of Massachusetts' largest
employers, including Sun Microsystems and Eastman-Kodak, as well as
startup companies such as CableSoft, where he served as Director of
Engineering. In addition to his political work, Mr. Israel provides
software project management consulting services through his own company,
ProManage, Incorporated.
This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on
Tuesday, January 4th, 2000, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the
Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is
$35.00. This price includes lunch, room rental, A/V hardware if
necessary, and the speakers' lunch. The Harvard Club *does* have dress
code: jackets and ties for men (and no sneakers or jeans), and
"appropriate business attire" (whatever that means), for women. Fair
warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable
to refund the price of your meal if the Club finds you in violation of
the dress code.
We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really*
know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by
Saturday, January 1st, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks
payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be
sent back.
Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston,
Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard
Club of Boston", in the amount of $35.00. Please include your e-mail
address so that we can send you a confirmation
If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (We've
had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance),
please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something
out.
Upcoming speakers for DCSB are:
February Suzan Dionne The Law of Digital Cash
March Fred Hapgood The Rise and Fall of Internet Auctions
April André Dubois Canadian Digital Commerce Policy
TBA Rodney Thayer Transnational Cryptography
We are actively searching for future speakers. If you are in Boston on
the first Tuesday of the month, are a principal in digital commerce, and
would like to make a presentation to the Society, please send e-mail to
the DCSB Program Committee, care of Robert Hettinga, <mailto:
rah@shipwright.com>.
