The Seventh International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD-2001) is the premiere event for the data mining community, expected to bring together more than 800 attendees from academia and industry. Among other activities, the conference program includes panels, and the program committee invites submission of proposals for them.

Panel proposals are expected to address new, exciting, and controversial issues. They should include:

1. Summary of the topics to be covered.
2. Name, affiliation and contact information for the panel chair.
3. Names and affiliations of up to four panelists (in addition to the panel chair) who have made a commitment to participate.
4. Short summary of their position statements.
5. Brief biography of each participant.

A mix of industry and academic panel members is encouraged.
