The technology sector is trying to nudge cybersecurity and other tech issues a little higher up on the priority list for next week’s launch of the North American Free Trade Agreement modernization talks in Washington.

The first round of talks among U.S., Canadian and Mexican negotiators is scheduled for Aug. 16-20, to be followed by a Sept. 1-5 round in Mexico City and then a session in Ottawa a few weeks later. Whether it’s realistic remains to be seen, but participants have discussed the idea of reaching some kind of deal by the end of the year.
