FC: CFP 2002 final program now available: April 16-19 in SF

[Declan McCullagh <declan@well.com>]

[CFP is the best conference of its kind, and I highly recommend it, even
if, ahem, free-market positions are consistently underrepresented. I
reserved my hotel room earlier this week -- $150/night -- but rooms are
still available. Is there any interest in a Politech gathering during the
conference? --Declan]

Subject: CFP2002 Preliminary Program

Declan and Dave,

I hope that you will consider sending out the CFP2002 preliminary 
program to your lists.  As you can, see we have lined up some great 
speakers and timely sessions for this year in SF.

Please use this version, which contains a few minor details that we 
missed in the versions that were sent to the past attendee and CDT 
update list.

Thanks a lot,

Ari
