Subject: CCTV: Trust & Access Pilot

Hello All, 

I am starting to get really excited about this event, so excuse me if I tend to get more and more verbose.

This is an invitation to join the google group or pass this invitation on to someone who may be interested. We agreed at the first CCTV Pilot organising event yesterday that we use to be the main forum of communication organizing the effort and research for this event. 

Please join this group, if you haven't already, in order to help out and/or be kept up to date on this CCTV research pilot.  You can find this google group here 

http://groups.google.com:80/group/barcamp-transparency in the right column you will see a 'Join this group' link to sign up to the mailing list. 

About this research:

Similar to the citizens ability to arrest someone or detain someone until the police arrive, is the ability to audit how Trust worthiness of  organisations and institutions in your community, and like the ability to detain someone, for matters dealing with Volunteered Personal Information we can request enforcement from the Information Commissioner.  

This event on Aug 22nd, is more than just one event, it is apart of a formal research in conjunction with London South Bank University,  it is also a pilot of the development of open social reputation used to develop trust.  This pilot is research to be used for the development of a social theory which extends(reverses) the theory of the panopticon to be applied through community based regulations.  As well as research into the use of transparency to regulate volunteered personal information.  Most importantly this event is research into liberty in this country, to test and analyze the claim that Human Rights are systematically being abused in Hammersmith & Fulham, .

Before now this research wasn't possible, with the growth of social media technology and tools there is now an opportunity to test old social theory in a new environment and context.  This invitation is a call out to grow the core group of organisers,  to help make this research and event a success.  If you know of someone who  may be interested in participating as researcher or helping with the effort please pass this email on to them.  I am especially looking for lawyers and journalist that are interested in protecting freedom of the press and the legal right to control your own information.

I will be sending more emails to the barcamp-transparency mailing list to cover the needs of the organisation effort.  I have just re-organised the website  and will be working on developing the Facts Page and Pilot Research pages over the next few days.   

Especially please read the 'About this OSR Pilot' and help edit and polish this material at  http://identitytrustcic.org/cctv PLEASE PROVIDE suggestions for website content as soon as possible.  Below there is a list of milestones and dates, and a long list of things to do this week.  I have put some names of people besides different tasks feel free to discuss everything in this mailing list, discuss any of these items listed below, and please let me know if you are not able to do a task due to time/knowledge constraints as soon as possible so I can find a work around. 

Best Regards,

Mark
