Hi All,

I am Ponnurangam K (PK), I am a second year PhD. student in the School
of Computer Science and my areas of research range from representing
privacy policies in Machine Readable format, cross-cultural privacy
issues (specifically in the US and India), Electronic Voting and
privacy related to RFID. In particular I am interested in any form of
inter-disciplinary research in privacy related areas (IS, Usability,
Databases, etc.).

I completely agree with the view of Wolfgang, Miguel and others who
have posted regarding the structure of the journal in the following
points:
- Definitely we need to have a high standard / quality of research
work which we should be publishing
- We definitely need to have commitment by the Review board members
and Editorial board members. To do this, I think having nominal fee
for both the groups should be acceptable (I leave it for the group to
decide)

In particular this forum must help researchers (in same or different
areas) to work on common issues, contribute to their own respective
field. I sincerely think that this is a great initiative where we
would want to build open research society.

I certainly would like to contribute as much as possible.

Regards,
PK
