Dear colleagues and friends,<br>
<br>
this is to let you know that an open letter initiated by CDT is
currently in the signature stage. I am surprised this discussion
hasn't made it to the IGC mailing list through other channels,
especially given the short notice. Please give this a consideration,
that the concept of "backdoors" provide a malicious actor with a
single point of entry, a weakness in the security systems that
secure our privacy and transactions.<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

<div>Fellow encryption advocates,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>First, thank you all and your organizations for signing on
to the open letter to Facebook on end-to-end encryption.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We released the first version of this letter at 12:30 US
Eastern yesterday, with 59 organizations signed on [1]. We're
currently at 69 organizations in total, with a few others
trying to get through complicated clearance processes this
weekend.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We'd love to get any civil society and digital rights
organizations that might feel similarly as all of us about the
importance of the "digital glue" that holds up the Internet
and digital devices. We have set a deadline of 23:59 UTC on
Monday (17:00 US Pacific), so please feel free to send the
document link (privately or on lists) to others you think
might want to sign on, and have them send me email if they
would like to be added:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r97TeH8WsH5xyetolg-ejTTrvzWEMYiznu0WQ0YsaGM/edit" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r97TeH8WsH5xyetolg-ejTTrvzWEMYiznu0WQ0YsaGM/edit</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(The language is set given how many signatories we have.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On Monday, we will close the letter and post a final HTML
and PDF versions of the letter with what I suspect will be an
amazing showing of solidarity for strong security for massive
platforms like those that Facebook controls.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please take care of yourselves and have a good weekend, Joe<br>
