Steve Eisner: Export Control Presentation
Steve Eisner, Export Control Officer, in the Office of the Dean of Research (DOR). Steve joined DOR early last year and is responsible for monitoring the university’s compliance with a myriad of federal regulations governing the export of items, information or software to foreign persons as well as educating the greater Stanford academic community about these regulations. Steve has been conducting outreach to various schools’ and departments’ faculty and research staff on these issues. This briefing will provide attendees with tools to recognize export control “red flags” including contract terms and conditions that restrict SLAC or Stanford’s ability to share information with foreign national researchers and collaborators in the U.S. and abroad. Important export control concepts in a laboratory and university setting will be covered, such as the fundamental research exclusion, the ITAR “University License Exception”, exports of tangible items including laptops, and travel to or research collaboration with individuals and organizations in embargoed or sanctions countries. Also addressed will be certain activities, transactions and exports that trigger export license requirements such as dual use encryption software transfers and acceptance of proprietary third-party information and items in the conduct of research.

Focus on Safety Meeting
SLAC ES&H has developed informational materials for rolling out the Focus on Safety '08 program for this year. We are expected to hold a safety meeting to cover the materials. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, August 18th at 1:00 - 2:00 pm in the Kavli Auditorium. If you spend any time at SLAC, even if you are not a SLAC employee, please attend this meeting. We are asked to collect names to make sure everyone in KIPAC has attended. To make this a more pleasant gathering, we'll have ice cream and other treats and refreshments for you.
