The PICS (Platform for Internet Content Selection) committee is approaching another milestone. On Wednesday, November 22, the PICS technical subcommittee will be releasing for public review their specifications for both distribution of content labels and descriptions of labeling services. In addition, the first set of PICS reference code is now available. This code is the set of interfaces for configuring content selection software shown publically in October. Check the PICS web page (http://www.w3.org/PICS/) for more information. There are also three events of note coming up in early December: 1) On December 7, in Dallas at the IETF meeting, there will be a "birds of a feather" session on Voluntary Access Control. The PICS specifications will be discussed at that time. For details, check http://www.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us/meetings/Dallas.html. 2) On Wednesday, December 13 at the 4th International World Wide Web Conference in Boston, there will be a panel session on "Rating Content on the Web." It will be chaired by Brian Ek (co-chair of the PICS public policy/public relations sub-committee) and will have a number of interesting panelists. Admission to the Web conference is required. See http://www.w3.org/pub/Conferences/WWW4/. 3) On Thursday, December 14 at the same conference there will be a Developers' Day session from 11:45am to 12:30pm on PICS. There is also likely to be a room set aside for detailed one-on-one questions about PICS. Registration for the Web conference is required. See http://www.w3.org/pub/Conferences/WWW4/. --Jim
