Forgiveness retrospectively begged for cross-posting this. The office of
the Swedish member of European Parliament, Amelia Andersdotter, asked me
to pass on this invitation onto interested parties within the W3C.
Hopefully I've hit some reasonable subset of that with this cc: list.

For some context on Andersdotter's current thinking on EME, you can see:

EFF has no connection with the event, but I wish I could attend!

Best wishes,

Dear all,

I would like to invite you to a panel discussion about encrypted media
extensions in HTML5, a fundamental browser standard. This invitation was
sent out a couple of days ago, but because of the difficulties in
forwarding posters and some last minute cancellations a plain-text
version of the invitation follow.

Official name:*Technology making law*
Venue: European Parliament, PHS 1 C 047
Time: October 15th, 11:00-13:00

The issues which will be discussed are
- What is the consequence of this inclusion on innovation on the Internet?
- Where is the difference between technology and law? Should technology
make law or do legislators make law?
- What are the consequences of introduction of EME in HTML5 on the
existing European legal framework for copyright and broadcasting?
- Are there security problems with a "black box" in the browser.

If you wish to participate in this event you can contact Jan Louzeek at
amelia.andersdotter-office2@ep.europa.eu who will order the badges for
you on Tuesday in order to get inside of the parliament building. The
event will additionally be streamed and recorded and its availability
will be notified at the @exile6e twitter account
