Dear Colleague (forwarded)


I thought you might be interested in the TPRC Call for Papers. It is the
40th anniversary of the conference, which will be appropriately
celebrated with engaging sessions and keynote speakers.

As you know, TPRC is an annual conference on
communication, information and internet policy that convenes
international and interdisciplinary researchers and policy
makers from academia, industry, government, and
nonprofit organizations. Its purpose is to present original research
relevant to policy making, share information about areas where research
is needed, and engage in discussion on current policy issues. The
conference program consists of presentations selected from submitted
paper abstracts, student papers, and proposals for panels, tutorials, and
demonstrations.
 
TPRC is now soliciting abstracts of papers, proposals for panels,
tutorials and demonstrations, and student papers for presentation at the
2012conference, to be held September 21-23, 2012 at the George Mason
University Law School, in Arlington, Virginia. These presentations should
report current theoretical or empirical research relevant to
communication and information policy. 
 
Contributions may be from any disciplinary perspective – the sole
criterion is research quality. Topic areas in previous conferences have
included competition, antitrust, and other market issues; broadband
deployment and adoption; spectrum and wireless application policy; media,
old and new; intellectual property, technology, and Internet law;
privacy, security, identity and trust; governance and institutions;
innovation and entrepreneurship; and distributional outcomes and social
goals.
 
Submission opens on March 1, 2012 at  http://www.tprc.org.
The deadlines are:
 
March 31, 2012: Main conference abstracts, and proposals for panels,
tutorials and demonstrations. Acceptances/rejections will be provided by
May 31, 2012. Complete papers for accepted abstracts will be due to TPRC
on August 15, 2012. 
 
April 30, 2012: Student papers. The student paper competition requires
submission of completed papers rather than abstracts. 
Acceptances/rejections will be provided by June 30, 2012.
