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

[michael gurstein]

Sorry, I asked for statements (and not of course, unreaslistically, a single
statement) concerning the ethical/policy implications of PRISM and not for
technical explications or "trust me/us" statements. 

 

I would have thought that ISOC at least, would have made a statement on what
has to be the most significant single set of public policy concerns that
have arisen since the beginning of the Internet and what is probably a quite
fundamental inflection point for how the Internet will develop/be allowed to
develop/be directed to develop, technically and otherwise into the future.

I don't know if this counts as the "technical community" but it does provide
a plausible technical scenario.

As an aside I am really getting tired of the us vs. them conversations. We
are a community that is made up of communities. Many people have their
fingers in many communities. There is a lot of overlap. Trying to reduce
every conversation to sides is not useful and only causes division when we
should be seeking unification and consensus.

 

I agree wholeheartedly!

 

As I said before, it is doubtful there is a "technical community" rep who
can meaningfully make a statement on behalf of the tens/hundreds of
thousands of people who can be said to be "T&A", despite MG wanting a
statement.
