[governance] Have there been any statements re: PRISM from the "technical community"

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

No, no - there's absolutely no sense beating the slightly damp spot on the ground where a dead horse once used to be.  It does make sense to call out obvious cases of suppresio veri and suggestio falsi though, as and when they occur.  That does lead to a certain amount of list traffic more than I'd desire ..

>>> Since Lauren often shows a very derisive attitude to ICANN and even suggests that it may not at all be serving any useful purpose excludes him from the specific technical meaning in which the term 'technical community' is used in the IG space. With the term 'technical community' one seems to now a days mean just those who       are actively engaged in management of critical Internet resources in some way (basically the extended ICANN system). So, Lauren's can hardly be taken to be a statement from the 'technical community' in that sense...
