Quoting from the introduction:

First we describe our course proposals for the 2003 SIGGRAPH conference.
Next, responding to changes in conference content and to a request from
SIGGRAPH President Alain Chesnais, we made a proposal of how the Public
Policy Program should fit into the structure of the annual conferences.
The issues discussed in our tutorials and in our BOF's affect all
computer users and need a designated place in the conference.

Broadband internet access becomes more and more important as both web
use and as file sizes increase. Bob Ellis, with the assistance of Myles
Losch, proposes a policy statement regarding broadband access.

Finally, our guest submission is from Sandy Ressler, member of the Board
of Directors of the Web3D Consortium. He discusses intellectual property
issues and the development of the Web3D Consortium Standards.
