[governance] China: "we don't agree that the IGF should

Tue May 19 10:39:05 EDT 2009

The funniest thing is that this Impact initiative looks like a copy of
the original CERT initiative, which began at Carnegie-Mellon many years
ago and is now a worldwide network of CSIRTs. The Brazilian one is
maintained by CGI.br and is playing a significant role in the recent
events regarding prevention and repression against cybercrime (including
cybercrimes against children), has trained dozens of federal police
officers and network operators, and is a relevant reason for the
successes which led to the prize given to Lula by the ITU.

On top of it, countries do not need to be ITU members to join the CSIRT
network :)

Someone is of course making a lot of money with this Impact thing...
