BookmarkCalifornia is a massive state with many people who are members of this well-known group, so it's likely that many people have questions as to how this could affect them. As of right now, it's not really known. There aren't really many details available on what could result from such a move.
The Supreme Court ruled in 2000 that it was okay for the Boy Scouts of America to discriminate against homosexuals due to their freedom of association. Nonetheless, this new approach of going after their tax exempt status might have a different outcome. The group famously considered lifting their ban on gay members earlier this year, but their decision has been delayed---and understandably so. This is a huge decision to make regardless of how much of a no-brainer it might seem to the rest of the country vi nu . Indeed, this is a sensitive situation, but all in all, children shouldn't be discriminated against. And if a private group is going to discriminate against children, should they really be exempted from paying their fair share to the government? In a way, their lack of tax payment kind of makes it look like the government condones their behavior.

This is very exciting. I saw the results of an Un-conference at the Leadership Summit in Jan. It was really great for generating ideas.
I'd like to plan to be there, but without knowing when it's scheduled it will be difficult to plan.
What is 'emerging technologies'? Could we have an example so we know what's already on the list?
Would like to add Knowledge Management and Intellectual Property to the topics list.
Thank you so much,
Cynthia

Haven't done unconference before but wondering (along with Cynthia) if topics are supposed to be broad or if we want to be a little more focused? Mine are phrased as questions b/c I'm really interested in others' experiences with these issues. Thanks! Jill

I am interested in how other (US) law librarians find negotiations with the big 3 - Lexis/Westlaw/CCH. As a follow on what strategies have been useful?
As a result of general dissatisfaction with those legal publishers here in Au I started reviewing legal publishing globally, I came across a lot of discussions around the concept of law publishers being regulated by FTC (why it was done, then when the protection was removed)I am also watching the AALL caucus on consumer advocacy.
Regarding emerging technologies we are about to deploy a corporate social media tool "cisco quads" and will be setting them up around interest groups, and also using them for producing our current awareness newsletters. I could interview our Systems Librarian who has been running the project, if you have questions around this use of technology in a law firm environment.
Cheers
