WASHINGTON — March 5, 1999 — The Center for Democracy and Technology is
pleased to announce that Executive Director Jerry Berman has been appointed
to serve on the Congressional Commission on Online Child Protection, which
was created last year as part of the Child Online Protection Act.
Mr. Berman was appointed to the Commission as a representative of an
industry engaged in the business of making content available over the
Internet.
The Center for Democracy and Technology strongly supported the creation of
the Commission. We are very pleased that Congress set up a mechanism to
take a hard look at the technological options available to help parents,
teachers, and librarians protect children online, and we are honored to
serve on it. Mr. Berman looks forward to investigating the full range of
Internet user empowerment tools available to parents, teachers, libarians
and other interested parties. Mr. Berman is committed to helping the
Commission develop a complete factual record on this matter, as it was
charged to do by Congress.
