Questions from the back cue. Were using the microphone in the back of the room. And again, general rules. If one can identify ones self, we get cracking. Steve wu again. I wanted to thank you for your thoughtprovoking paper. One of the things ive been thinking about is generally the transition from physical to digital and how the law doesnt seem to have caught up. And the example that i give is in the 1990s when i was really first thinking about the internet and i was trying to do, quote unquote, computer law, i saw some of the cases having to do with Insurance Coverage for the loss of some kind of data center. And a claim was put in by the insured to seek compensation for not only the loss of the hardware but also the loss of the data. Of course policies werent very sophisticated at that time but the courts said you can cover for the loss of the hardware but data intangible and not covered by the eyes of the policy and in the eyes of the court, this data have no worth.

A video showing a mob assault a woman in Tahrir Square and a policemans struggle to save her has been circulating on the internet. How would you work with the Egyptian Government to insure the prevention and prosecution of Sexual Assault . How would you work with them to insure that this is a priority for them in this new government . The act youre referring to and others like it which have been reported as well are are extremely disturbing, and were extremely concerned about those type of incidents. Women should have the ability to go anywhere they want in the country just like a hand, and they should be full participants in egypts democratic and social processes.

And they need to do everything they can to insure women are safe in the afterhath of this incident. We

To what we heard over the weekend from senator graham and from others. And i think what were going to see in the coming weeks is probably more of these sort of closed briefings to try and figure out what exactly is going on on the ground there. Obviously one of the immediate concerns is the safety and security of the embassy facility in baghdad and other issues with u. S. Personnel who are on the ground there. But the other thing thats going to come up and senator graham was one of the people who mentioned this over the weekend is that if there are in fact, as were now seeing reports that there are these back channel negotiations or conversations of some sort with the iranian regime, that will be something that will certainly get the attention of congress. And it tells you what kind of a world that were dealing with and that were seeing in iraq if talking to the iranians is necessary for regional stability, which is something that im sure not a lot of people could have fathomed just a
