[Jeffrey A. Williams]

All,

  Well the plot thickens...  Yet another decline in the Internet
neiborhood...

The Information Technology Industry Council, which represents Apple,
Dell Computer, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and other major high-tech companies,
surprised some tech policy watchers today by announcing that longtime
president Rhett Dawson's successor will be Dean Garfield, best known for
helping to sink illegal Internet file-sharing operations Grokster and
Kazaa.

 Comment on this article in The Forum.Garfield is chief strategic
officer for the Motion Picture Association of America and will take 
the helm at ITI when Dawson retires in December. Prior to joining 
ITI in 1993, Dawson served in the Reagan administration as assistant 
to the president for operations and was an executive at Potomac 
Electric Power Co.

 Garfield was selected after an extensive search led by ITI Board
Chairwoman Laura Ipsen, a senior vice president at Cisco Systems.
Industry sources initially thought the trade group's top lobbyist, 
Ralph Hellmann, a former GOP congressional leadership aide, could 
be the heir apparent.
