Georgia public. It offers a neutral, academic setting for a fact-based

BTW:
Next Month's forum in the series may also be of interest. 
It seems that the IP3 group feels, as I do, that the current executive
branch  assaults on civil liberty and the U.S.A. Paricide Act are very 
immediately connected and relevant to DRM issues:
