Stanford Law CodeX 'Future Law' conversation & re World Univ & Sch Law Schools ...
Dear Roland, Anja, John, Miguel, Michael, and Stephen,
Thanks for your very helpful Stanford Law CodeX presentations. I'm following up in these regards with collaboration questions with respect to CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch.
In thinking about Covid-19, Anja, and open source software, John, and online 'justice law' learning, Miguel, how might we best come into conversation? I'm thinking in terms of CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records (https://twitter.com/hashtag/
You'll get a sense of where World Univ & Sch is presently in this email to MIT President Rafael Reif - https://scott-macleod.
Anja, with regard to your Covid-19 legal focus, Anja, in what ways are you engaging Google - Apple Contact Tracing information emergent technologies? -

Dear Scott and everyone,
with regard to question directed to me, we had some discussions around Apple and Google introducing sophisticated tracing. I recommend reading Chris Remus intake in addition to France asking mentioned companies to ease privacy rules and make changes to their softwares so they can combat coronavirus.
At this stage, GCPR initiative presents a collection of public responses, meaning we’re looking to collect information about governmental policy responses. Data is being collected by many different organisations and from various angles (different legal domains).
My personal opinion is that big corporations which are in possession of our data, have became crucial stakeholders in global geopolitical area. They play an important role and have the ability to manipulate and affect human rights and thus lives of individuals. As such, I do believe they will bear more responsibility with regard to censorship and protection of rights as well as establishment of appropriate dispute mechanism when different rights and obligations clash in contradiction.
I’d be interested in exploring ways to find how we can support each other and empower collaboration. Attached are the GCPR introduction, which we send to potential supporting organisations and GCPR Sprint invite along with Guide (introduction only).
If you find yourself in a position where we can join efforts and support each other, please let me know.
Kindest regards,

Dear Roland, Anja, Miguel, John, and All,
Thanks so much for your thoughtful, and strategic planning, emails - re yesterday's Stanford Law CodeX. Sharing ideas may be a first step in collaborations.
Having taught "Society and Information Technology" for many years (long-time UC Berkeley Professor Manuel Castells' informed course), there's a question for me, to say it one way, of the 'co-constitutionality,' of information technologies with how and why people - individual hackers, and folks in universities, companies, governments, etc. - code them (and Google and Apple folks tend toward the 'progressive'). In the case of Covid-19 planning, and even regarding questions of interns learning law / justice, Miguel, and re coding for social justice (both legally and IT-wise), I read that the current Apple-Google contact tracing project is one of the least invasive to privacy of possible information technologies that could be used for Covid-19 contact tracing (see too:

And so, I ask myself, how could CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's online Law Faculty / Professors, in all ~200 countries' official / main languages, and with wiki schools for open teaching and learning planned for speakers of all 7,117 known living languages - and then WUaS planning to code for all 7.5 billion people on the planet (eg regarding Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records) - begin to teach online related law questions? Since MIT itself has neither a law school nor a medical school - so its CC-4 MIT OCW has only undergraduate and graduate courses in 4 languages, with about 2400 courses in English - WUaS seeks to emerge from Stanford Law and Stanford Medicine to develop our online ~200 Law and Medical schools. There are remarkable potential collaborations in these regards.
John, please let us know if you set up a slack-like workspace for Anja, or similar. Miguel - student interns regarding your great justice work on the MITx > edX platform? Anja, WUaS ~200 online law schools in countries' official languages, under one 'umbrella' offers a remarkable opportunity to define, create and write future law regarding your "if you find yourself in a position where we can join efforts and support each other."
Thanks, too, for your Twitter, Anja - https://twitter.com/AnjaBlaj

HI Dominic,
Nice to talk briefly with you the other day.
Am seeking to put a load in the dryer in about 1 hour, - if it's you who happen to have the laundry in there now. Thanks, and cheers.

Hi Tom, Dominic, Lindsay, Glory, Ed, and All,
Greetings. How are you? I hope this finds you well. I just noticed that the SF Bay Area law requiring people to wear masks to protect against coronavirus went into effect yesterday, Wed. Apr 22, 2020:
"Coronavirus: Bay Area mask order takes effect Wednesday. Here’s what you need to know."
I'm very concerned, to say the least, that in a time of the coronavirus pandemic and the state of California's shelter-at-home directive - https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-
Thoughts, suggestions, questions, ideas? Thanks!
Stay safe.

Dear Scott,
I hope this message finds you well. There are two concerns I wish to address in this email: Health and safety, and communication.
1. Health and Safety
• My family agrees that COVID-19 is a crisis that must be taken seriously.
• We are all practicing social distancing.
• Dominic and I only leave the property once a week to go to get food and the mail. When we go, we wear masks and use hand sanitizer before and after entering the public space. We wash all our produce and leave packages outside the house.
• My Father is leaving more frequently than us. However, he always wears his mask in public, uses hand sanitizer, and washes
his hands frequently.
• Travis is a family member who has been staying with us since the fall. He is a registered nurse and is taking this pandemic
seriously.
• It was unexpected to have two people visit the property yesterday. They are working on reducing fire hazards and taking care of our trees. I spoke with them this morning (6+ feet away) and told them that they must wear masks and stay 6+feet away from each other.
• No one should be near your window, but if that ever happens again, please ask them to move and shut your window. If you need me to talk with them, I am happy to do so. It is important that we all do our best to accommodate each other in these difficult times.
2. Communication
• We are compassionate, empathetic, and reasonable people. We want you to feel safe communicating with us directly.
• I find it threatening that you are including strangers on this email. Sharing our names, address, and issues you have with our family with strangers feels like an invasion of privacy to me. In the past, you also included Ed Smith on a complaint email about Sierra when she was prepping the exterior of your house for wood sealer. We do not know who Ed Smith is. I am sure you did not mean to make us feel uncomfortable, but you need to respectfully stop including outsiders in private matters.
• In the future, when you have an issue with anyone in my family or the community, please speak with us directly (6+ feet away, on the phone, or over email.)
• My father cannot manage email well. You are welcome to message Dominic and me. I do not use this email anymore. Please use - gmail.com - in the future.
I hope that this message eases your mind and lays a foundation for better communication in the future. I welcome further discussion if needed. (Dominic and I are both teaching from home. We can respond to future emails after 6:30pm.)

Hi Scott,
I had an idea that I wanted to share with you. What do you think about having assigned laundry days during this crisis? That way, we would not run the risk of coming into contact with each other. You could have 2-3 days, my dad could have 2 days, and we could have 2 days.
If you like this idea, what days of the week do you want to be yours?
All the best,
Lindsay

Hi Lindsay,
Thanks for your email.
In that in planning for the seriousness of the coronavirus viral pandemic - i.e. around 50,000 people had died in the US as of yesterday, per Stanford Law Professor Hank Greely -
https://twitter.com/
49,887 deaths in the US; over 50k soon. Not over yet...— Hank Greely (@HankGreelyLSJU) April 24, 2020
https://twitter.com/
... and I'm appreciating much Dr. Fauci MD's thinking on Coronavirus, and regarding the autumn, eg -
So scheduling laundry times re self-quarantining makes sense, per your email. And how about staggering days, and evenings too, for further flexibility? What if I were to take Tuesday evening, Wednesday in the day, Thursday evening, Friday day, Saturday evening, and Sunday in the day, or similar?
I really hope you, your Dad, Dominic and Canyon 94516 don't get the coronavirus / Covid-19, and I'm seeking to lower my risk of exposure too - and the only way presently to do so seems to involve self-quarantining, with social and physical distancing, wearing masks, and practicing hand-washing, etc. As you've observed perhaps - with the highest risk group of the US's oldest citizens, eg esp. in retirement communities and small insular communities - once the virus is spreading in these populations of high risk individuals (with old immune systems, as I understand this), it's very difficult to eliminate the virus from the these populations.
'Coronavirus rebels,' such as the quite 'significant' number of folks who were again on this property at 670 Ridgecrest this morning, and who aren't sheltering at home or wearing masks (per the state of California's laws / directives) seem to be putting themselves at great risk, as well as you and your family - and all of us. Am sorry for this - and am hoping they don't get this virus - or spread coronavirus any further than they may have already, if they are asymptomatic carriers, for example. I guess that the significant number of people on the property this morning again raises for me both public health and legal questions (as in my email to you yesterday in these regards). Stay safe. Thank you.
All the best, Scott
