Abstract
This paper describes the approach that Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR) uses to advise and influence government policymakers at the local, state, and federal levels. It analyzes why CPSR - a relatively small organization - has enjoyed a fair amount of success in influencing policy. It also describes a recurring pattern that applies to CPSR's involvement in policymaking, using as an example CPSR's involvement in policymaking on the Calling Number Identification (CNID) telephone service. An appendix lists situations in which CPSR has directly advised policymakers.
