Presents
Suzan Dionne Balz,
Attorney and Author
The New Virtual Money: Law and Practice
Tuesday, February 1st, 2000
12 - 2 PM
The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston
One Federal Street, Boston, MA
One of the most important of the current regulatory and policy issues
surrounding electronic cash in the United States and internationally is
its legal status in the eyes of the various regulatory authorities. This
talk will discuss the consequences of the legal status of electronic cash
regarding its issuance (who may or may not issue it), and the payment
functions it is intended to fulfill, such as whether or not and when a
debt paid using electronic cash is discharged, whether or not a payment
order made via electronic cash is revocable and until when, and liability
for unauthorized transactions. .
Suzan Dionne is an attorney and is a Director with Deloitte & Touche in
New York. She specializes in regulatory consulting on information
technologies in general, and, more particularly, electronic commerce, in
the United States and Canada. She has recently co-authored a book
published by Kluwer Law International called The New Virtual Money: Law
and Practice, which covers electronic money regulatory issues in the
United States, Canada, France and the United Kingdom.
This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on
Tuesday, February 1st, 2000, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of
the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is
$35.00. This price includes lunch, room rental, A/V hardware if
necessary, and the speakers' lunch. The Harvard Club *does* have dress
code: jackets and ties for men (and no sneakers or jeans), and
"appropriate business attire" (whatever that means), for women. Fair
warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable
to refund the price of your meal if the Club finds you in violation of
the dress code.
We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really*
know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by
Saturday, January 29th, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks
payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be
sent back.
Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston,
Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard
Club of Boston", in the amount of $35.00. Please include your e-mail
address so that we can send you a confirmation
If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (We've
had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance),
please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something
out.
Upcoming speakers for DCSB are:
March Fred Hapgood The Rise and Fall of Internet Auctions
April André Dubois Canadian Digital Commerce Policy
TBA Rodney Thayer Transnational Cryptography
We are actively searching for future speakers. If you are in Boston on
the first Tuesday of the month, are a principal in digital commerce, and
would like to make a presentation to the Society, please send e-mail to
the DCSB Program Committee, care of Robert Hettinga, <mailto:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
