Doty Plan 2018

I am a citizen technologist. Technological design affects every part of our lives, not deterministically, but in ways that we as a society can influence and decide. I seek to understand how technical, social and political decisions affect our public policy and to use technical expertise to improve how the Internet supports privacy, security, accessibility and other values.

In the scopes of personal, familial, professional and community life, I am pursuing the following high-level goals and maintaining the following habits.

Goals

• stay healthy
  sleep enough, eat well, meditate, continue counseling, bike and hike, be kind to myself
• support (and seek support from) family
  letters and phone calls with family and friends, plan for the future
• explain how multistakeholder processes affect public policy
  complete a dissertation on enacting privacy in technical standard-setting, publish on Internet/Web standards process and participation
• systematically support privacy in the architecture of the Web
  complete Fingerprinting Guidance document for now, keep privacy reviews going
• cultivate civic-minded technologists
  coordinate with other public interest technology folks, support CTSP in funding and expanding
• fight fascism
  attend protests, host Crypto Parties (or other community education), support political reform for voting rights and representation
