Friends,

Please join me in the Auditorium of the Virtual Labs this Friday, January 23rd, at 12:00pm EST for a general community chat on The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA).

Times on the Virtual Labs Lobby are displayed in your local time.

General Agenda:

1. Briefing/Update on the CPSIA - To the best of my ability, I will discuss, in layman’s terms, what the law says, where it stands now, and what the time frame is.

2. Hypothetical CPSIA Pricing - What are the pros and cons of Etsy sellers placing theoretical prices on items that may be affected by the CPSIA.

3. Take Action - Ideas for getting the word out to the media, lobbying politicians, and educating the community.

4. Resources - Links, resources, contacts.
