Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Exploring Privacy and Data Security Costs: A Summary of a Workshop
In preparing fer publication a summary of a workshop such as this, the editor has a responsibility to the participants. He must present their comments clearly, accurately, and fairly. He must satisfy the participants' intent to share their experience with their colleagues. Therefore, the editor has a responsibility to present their discussion in a manner that invites reading and\in a logical structure that clarifies their ideas.
At the same time an editor must recognize that the nature of a round table discussion leads to certain rhetorical devices that get lost on the way to the printed page. Speakers take positions not necessarily their own in order to act as devil's advocate. Speakers attempt to express ideas still forming in their minds and, consequently, articulate long rambling sentences that often have abrupt changes of thought in the middle and could only be understood in the context of that instant. Speakers challenge other speakers by asking questions based on assumptions the speaker may not necessarily hold. And humor often makes a point about a serious subject better than a pompous assertion would.
