[governance] RE: [IRPCoalition] Webinar digest Brazil's role in IG & third issue of Digital Rights LAC

[michael gurstein]

I don't see any contradiction between these objectives but rather they are
manifestations of the same underlying set of impulses which is to establish
a degree of independence (economic, security, etc.) from the current
unipolar geo-political system.

Some interesting thoughts from Rick Falkvinge on the BRICS cable here:

https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2013/09/logical-for-brics-countri
es-to-build-their-own-internet-infrastructure-circumventing-u-s-surveillance
/

It's fascinating to see, however, how the cable is now being projected as a
tool to circumvent US surveillance, while when it was first announced, the
emphasis was on improved global coverage (especially better access for
African countries) and better trade and development relations for BRICS
countries. It may of course well be able to achieve all of these things, but
it's interesting to see how those initially justifications now don't seem to
be receiving too much (media) attention anymore.

Best,
Anja

Hi Marilia,

Thanks for this report.

Couple of questions about the "BRICS cable".  First, why concern about
fragmentation ("balkanization"), if I understand correctly the idea is not
to propose a BRICS firewall, my email will still reach you etc, it's not a
proposal to censor the net. I think this mis-guided and unhelpful to the
proposal. Second, any detail of the cable: who will build, who are the
partners (and has anyone looked at the telecom/appropriate law of potential
partner countries?  Suspect we might not like what we find -- US and UK not
alone in having bad law.)
