   Dear all, of possible interest:
   We are delighted to announce that Berkeley Center for Law & Technology
   and Microsoft will fund up to six projects (totaling $300,000) to
   explore the civil rights, human rights, security and privacy issues
   that arise from Open Data.  This research may help ground public policy
   discussions and drive the development of a framework to avoid potential
   abuses of this data while encouraging greater engagement and
   innovation. The papers flowing from the RFP will be the focus of our
   spring 2015 Berkeley Journal for Law & Technology Symposium.
   The RFP is here: [1]http://www.law.berkeley.edu/bcltopendata.htm
   Feel free to circulate this broadly. The RFP is broad enough to
   encompass thinkers from many different disciplines, including law, CS,
   economics, and statistics.
   All best,
   Jennifer
