Dear Sivasubramanian

I strongly support the three proposals. You found the right formulation.

For the latter, I suggest that this be clarified: *national sovereignty and
/ or international obligations of a country.*

I am confident that we are facing two paradigms that must necessarily be
explicit in the context of cybercrime.

*Q5 Areas of the text which could be strengthened*
(22)  Not only is it important to facilitate the "acquisition of digital
evidence" but also emphasize the trans-border nature of cybercrime and
provide for faster extradition where there is strong evidence of
trans-border or global cybercrime ​

*Q6 Areas of the text t​​hat raise concerns*

​ The overall emphasis on Cyber Security is a cause for concern. There is a
disproportional emphasis on Cyber Security measures over Civil Liberties.​

*Q7 Areas of the text where there are inconsistencies or that lack clarity*

( 27) What is emphasized here? State sovereignty or the international
obligations?​
