TPRC  is an annual conference on communication, information and internet  policy 
that convenes international and interdisciplinary researchers and  policymakers 
from academia, industry, government, and nonprofit  organizations. Its purpose 
is to present original research relevant to  policy making, share the knowledge 
requirements of practitioners, and  engage in discussion on current policy 
issues. The conference program  consists of presentations selected from 
submitted paper abstracts,  student papers and panel submissions.
 
TPRC is now soliciting  abstracts of papers, panel proposals, and student papers
