Radio-Frequency Identification Document Advisory Panel to Meet
California's Radio-Frequency Identification Document Advisory Panel will hold its second meeting on February 6, 2008 at the California State Library in Sacramento. At the February 6 meeting, the panel will address several topics crucial to California lawmakers' understanding of a possible next generation of government-issued identification documents. These topics include security and privacy concerns, public participation and awareness, and managing the data collected by the use of the document.
State Librarian Susan Hildreth, chair of this panel of government officials, industry representatives and privacy rights organizations, will lead the meeting, and CRB Assistant Director Chris Marxen will report on the agenda topics.
The California Research Bureau (CRB) at the California State Library established the eleven person advisory panel as part of its research on RFIDs for State Senator Joe Simitian (D- Palo Alto) and the California Legislature. CRB will submit its culminating RFID report to the legislature early this year.
The public meeting will be from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm in the Stanley Mosk Library and Courts Building, 914 Capitol Mall, Room 500 in Sacramento, California. There will be time for comments after each meeting topic.
