And importantly, list posts will not be threatened to be lost in all the other email clutter. I also notice that the 'reply to' is the originating poster. That is 'good practice.' But it varies from the IGC list's past. Many may not be aware. So that attempts to 'reply' may go only to the originator. Food for thought, as to whether setting the 'reply to' as before, to the list itself. Again, my thanks. Not a small effort.

So we have now a great diversity in this theme with a clear common result of analysis. many greetings, willi Asuncion, Paraguay -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: To Serve AT&T and Comcast, Congressional GOP Votes to Destroy Online Privacy Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2017 14:53:28 +0000 From: Glenn Greenwald <> To Serve AT&T and Comcast, Congressional GOP Votes to Destroy Online Privacy _Clarifying events_ in politics are often healthy even when they produce awful outcomes. Such is the case with yesterday’s vote by House Republicans to free internet service providers (ISPs) – primarily AT&T, Comcast and Verizon – from the Obama-era FCC regulations barring them from storing and selling their users’ browsing histories without their consent. The vote followed an identical one last week in the Senate exclusively along party lines . It’s hard to overstate what a blow to individual privacy this is. Unlike Silicon Valley giants like Facebook and Google – which can track and sell only those activities of yours which you engage in while using their specific service – ISPs can track everything you do online. “These companies carry all of your Internet traffic and can examine each packet in detail to build up a profile on you,” explained two experts from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Worse, it is not particularly difficult to avoid using specific services (such as Facebook) that are known to undermine privacy, but consumers often have very few choices for ISPs; it’s a virtual monopoly. It’s hardly rare for the U.S. Congress to enact measures gutting online privacy: indeed, the last two decades have ushered in a legislative scheme that implements a virtually ubiquitous Surveillance State composed of both public intelligence and military agencies along with their private-sector “partners.” Members of Congress voting for these pro-surveillance measures invariably offer the pretext that they are acting for the benefit of American citizens – whose privacy they are gutting – by Keeping Them Safe™. But what distinguishes this latest vote is that this pretext is unavailable. Nobody can claim with a straight face that allowing AT&T and Comcast to sell their users’ browser histories has any relationship to national security. Indeed, there’s no minimally persuasive rationale that can be concocted for this vote. It manifestly has only one purpose: maximizing the commercial interests of these telecom giants at the expense of ordinary citizens. It’s so blatant here that it cannot even be disguised. That’s why, despite its devastating harm for individual privacy, there is a beneficial aspect to this episode. It illustrates – for those who haven’t yet realized it – who actually dominates Congress and owns its members: the corporate donor class. There is literally no constituency in favor of this bill other than these telecom giants. It’d be surprising if even a single voter who cast their ballot for Trump or a GOP Congress even thought about, let alone favored, rescission of privacy-protecting rules for ISPs. So blatant is the corporate-donor servitude here that there’s no pretext even available for pretending this benefits ordinary citizens. It’s a bill written exclusively by and for a small number of corporate giants exclusively for their commercial benefit at the expense of everyone else. Right-wing outlets like Breitbart tried hard to sell the bill to their readers . But the only rationale they could provide was that it’s intended to “undo duplicitous regulation around consumer privacy,” which, they suggested, was unfair to telecoms that faced harsher regulations than social media companies. To justify this, Breitbart quoted a GOP Congresswoman, Martha Blackburn, as claiming that the regulation is “unnecessary and just another example of big government overreach.” When the Senate GOP voted last week to undo the restriction, Texas Sen. John Cornyn invoked the right-wing cliché that it “hurt job creators and stifle economic growth.” But the inane idea that individuals should lose all online privacy protections in the name of regulatory consistency or maximizing corporate profits is something that is almost impossible to sell even to the most loyal ideologues. As Matt Stoller noted , there was “lots of anger in the comments section of Breitbart against the GOP for revoking the Obama privacy regs for ISPs.” Lots of "This is one of very few Obama-era regulations that should have stayed…." Everyone hates Comcast. pic.twitter.com/IODmQAkrnk — Matt Stoller (@matthewstoller) March 29, 2017 Stoller added that the resentment among even Breitbart readers over the vote was based on a relatively sophisticated understanding that the GOP Congress was subordinating the privacy rights of individuals to the corporate profits of Comcast , along with reinforcing monopoly power for what are really public utilities; as Stoller put it : “it’s fascinating, when the political debates are about the use of concentrated business power, the debates are no longer as partisan.” _This recognition_ – of who owns and controls Congress – is absolutely fundamental to understanding any U.S. political issue. And it does – or at least should – transcend both partisan and ideological allegiance because it prevails in both parties. I still recall very vividly when I attended the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver. It was just months after the Democratic Congress (with ample help from the Bush White House and GOP members) spearheaded a truly corrupt bill to vest the telecom industry with retroactive immunity for having broken the law in allowing the NSA to access their American customers’ calls and records without the warrants required by law (that was the 2008 bill which Obama, when seeking the Democratic nomination, vowed to filibuster, only to then flagrantly violate his promise by voting against a filibuster and for the bill itself once he had the nomination secured). The sole beneficiaries of that bill were AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and the other telecom giants who faced serious civil and even criminal liability for this lawbreaking. The main forces ensuring its passage were the Bush White House and the Democratic Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Jay Rockefeller, whose campaign coffers enjoyed a massive surge of telecom donations immediately before he championed their cause. The first thing one noticed upon arriving on the DNC grounds was the AT&T logo everywhere: they were a major sponsor of the convention, with everything from huge signs to tote bags for the delegates carrying their logo. The apex of this flagrant corruption was when AT&T threw a lavish party for the party centrists who helped pass the bill – entitled “AT&T thanks the Blue Dogs” – which both Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman and I attended in the totally futile attempt to interview the hordes of Democratic lobbyists, delegates and corporate donors who toasted one another: Like most people, I had known on a rational level for quite some time that corporate donors dictate what happens in Congress – that they literally write the laws – regardless of the outcome of elections. But watching that stream of corporate and political power slink in to that venue and congregate together in such blatant corruption, and the secrecy surrounding it, really underscored the reality of this all on a visceral level. That’s the permanent power faction of Washington and they try hard, with great success, to make themselves impenetrable to outside influences – such as democracy, transparency, and ordinary citizens. Perhaps this latest episode of pure corporate servitude – this time delivered by the Congressional GOP, at the expense of individual privacy, with virtually unanimous Democratic opposition – will have a similar effect on others, including those who worked to elect this Republican Congress. This, of course, is the “swamp” that Trump vowed to “drain,” the oozing corruption of both parties that he endlessly denounced (just as Obama did before him in 2008). If Trump signs this bill, as expected, perhaps it will open more eyes about how Washington really works, who really controls it, for whose benefit it functions, and the serious difficulty of changing it even when you elect politicians who swear over and over that they oppose it all.

Intel and Samsung, maybe also AMD, IBM/Motorola and others, have it installed. The underlayer between OS and hardware. Totally controlled from outside and independent of BIOS and OS.

Wolfgang -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: governance-request at lists.igcaucus.org im Auftrag von Jeremy Malcolm Gesendet: Di 28.02.2017 20:24 An: Civil IGC Society Internet Governance Caucus - Betreff: [governance] New Dynamic Coalition on Trade and the Internet The IGF Secretariat has just formally approved the formation of a new Dynamic Coalition on Trade and the Internet. Its website is at https://opendigital.trade/projects/dc-trade and its mailing list is at https://opendigital.trade/mailman/listinfo/dc-trade. The formation of the Dynamic Coalition was motivated by the fact that many Internet governance issues that are discussed at the IGF are also the subject of rulemaking through bilateral, plurilateral and multilateral trade agreements. The purpose of this Dynamic Coalition is to provide an interface for the exchange of information and best practices between the negotiators of these trade agreements and the bodies in which they work, and the Internet Governance Forum and its multi-stakeholder community. This information exchange will be both substantive (that is, concerning particular Internet public policy issues) and also procedural (that is, about how Internet public policy can be developed in a transparent and inclusive way). Our provisional 2017 action plan is: 1. To publish a background paper describing the major trade agreements that are in place or under negotiation, as well as the venues where this takes place, and identifying the key Internet governance issues that are the subject of such agreements and negotiations. 2. To develop a multi-stakeholder approach to facilitating the transparency and inclusiveness in international trade negotiations and the domestic consultation processes. 3. To build a network of representatives from trade institutions and delegations for liaison with our Dynamic Coalition and the broader IGF community. 4. To hold our inaugural meeting at the 2017 IGF in Geneva to present our outputs to the IGF community. If you are interested to join, please do so by joining the mailing list. If you also wish to participate in our web platform (highly recommended!) you should also separately register an account at https://opendigital.trade. -- Jeremy Malcolm Senior Global Policy Analyst Electronic Frontier Foundation https://eff.org jmalcolm at eff.org Tel: 415.436.9333 ext 161 :: Defending Your Rights in the Digital World :: Public key: https://www.eff.org/files/2016/11/27/key_jmalcolm.txt PGP fingerprint: 75D2 4C0D 35EA EA2F 8CA8 8F79 4911 EC4A EDDF 1122 -------------- next part -------------- ____________________________________________________________ You received this message as a subscriber on the list: governance at lists.igcaucus.org To be removed from the list, visit: http://www.igcaucus.org/unsubscribing For all other list information and functions, see: http://lists.igcaucus.org/info/governance To edit your profile and to find the IGC's charter, see: http://www.igcaucus.org/ Translate this email: http://translate.google.com/translate_t From joly at punkcast.com Wed Mar 1 11:08:48 2017 From: joly at punkcast.com (Joly MacFie) Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2017 11:08:48 -0500 Subject: [governance] CITI LUNCH WEBINAR TODAY: What Happens When Everyone Is Connected Message-ID: There is still time to register for this, but just to be safe I have included the webex link below.

As you know, the CSCG ran a nomination process to select candidates to the MAG 2017 nominations and submitted the three names selected (Norbert Bollow, Jeremy Malcolm, Arsene Tungali) by the deadline, 16 December. The CSCG was informed of the outcome on 27 February. We received the communication that "there will be no new Civil Society MAG member being added". The IGF 2017 MAG has now been been approved by the Secretary-General's office. The list of members can be found on the following url: https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/mag-2017-members. In response, we have sent the following letter to the IGF Secretariat, copied in full under the dotted line below. The first Open Consultations and MAG meeting of the IGF 2017 preparatory cycle are taking place now (01-03 March) in Geneva, so we expect for this to be brought up during the course of the discussions there, and to receive a response soon. Should you have any questions at all, Best Arsene, IGC Co-coordinator. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 March 2017 Dear Chengetai, We are writing, as members of the Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG), to respectfully express our concern at the notice received via the Internet Governance Forum’s (IGF) Secretariat, that there will be no new civil society member added to the Internet Governance Forum's Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) this year (2017). The reason provided to the CSCG was that there is no civil society MAG member being rotated out. The Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) exists solely to ensure a coordinated civil society response and conduit when it comes to making civil society appointments to outside bodies. Please see the website for more information on the mechanism: http://internetgov-cs.org/#about. According to the FAQ provided , there is not a fixed number of civil society representatives. We understood that one of the current members (Ms. Amelia Andersdotter ) has served three terms and would be be rotated out. On the IGF website , her affiliation is listed as Civil Society, we therefore do not fully understand the explanation provided about her past and current affiliation in your email (dated 27 February) 2017 to us. We understand that, apart from Amelia Andersdotter's retirement, another civil society vacancy has been created by John Dada stepping down over the last year. This vacancy we understand was never filled. Once again, it was our understanding from the beginning that at least one, perhaps two, vacant position(s) was available and to be filled by a Civil Society representative. The CSCG conducted an open, transparent and democratic selection process, following which three candidates were selected. These three names were submitted before the deadline to UNDESA for consideration. However, the decision to not elect a civil society representative to replace the outgoing member comes as both a surprise and disappointment to the CSCG. The selection process conducted via CSCG paid respect to the factors outlined by UNDESA, “notably: priorities for regional diversity, with an emphasis on representation from developing and least developed countries; gender balance; and diversity of institutions and organizations with which members are affiliated”. We strongly regret that, following an open, transparent and democratic selection process, we will not be able to provide a satisfactory explanation for this situation to the members of the various constituencies which we represent. Moreover we are concerned about the possibility that this situation may deter, or at least reduce willingness of, civil society members to engage in the process going forward considering the time lost and unaccounted for on this occasion. While we would like to thank the UNDESA for its leadership we hereby respectfully request that UNDEA reconsider its decision and agree to appoint at least one additional representative from civil society on the basis of our proposal, or, at a minimum, that UNDESA provide further explanation as to the decision not to nominate a replacement for the outgoing civil society MAG member. Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter. With best wishes, The CSCG. ------------------------ **Arsène Tungali** Co-Founder & Executive Director, *Rudi international *, CEO,* Smart Services Sarl *, *Mabingwa Forum * Tel: +243 993810967 GPG: 523644A0 *Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo* 2015 Mandela Washington Felllow (YALI) - ISOC Ambassador (IGF Brazil & Mexico ) - AFRISIG 2016 - Blogger - ICANN Fellow (Los Angeles & Marrakech ).

M -----Original Message----- From: dewayne-net at warpspeed.com [mailto:dewayne-net at warpspeed.com] On Behalf Of Dewayne Hendricks Sent: March 5, 2017 12:44 PM To: Multiple recipients of Dewayne-Net Subject: [Dewayne-Net] The FCC Helped Make the Internet Great: Now, It's Walking Away [Note: This item comes from reader Randall Head. DLH] The FCC Helped Make the Internet Great: Now, It’s Walking Away By Kevin Werbach Mar 3 2017 In this opinion piece, Wharton professor of legal studies and business ethics Kevin Werbach looks at how the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will be impacted by the Trump administration — and what that means for internet regulation. Werbach served as co-lead of the FCC review for the Obama-Biden Transition Project, and an outside advisor on technology and innovation policy to the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. This article is based on an essay, “Requiem for an Agency,” which he published on Medium.com. The mantra that regulation stifles innovation is so ingrained these days that we ignore examples which don’t fit the script. That includes the biggest one: the growth and development of the internet. The Federal Communications Commission played an important role over the past 20 years, under Democrats and Republicans alike, in making the digital economy what it is today. Now, under a new president and chairman, it’s making an abrupt U-turn. The Trump FCC may become at best insignificant, and at worst, a tool for mischief and dirty tricks that will weaken the foundations of our democracy. The FCC wasn’t the source of the internet’s entrepreneurial ideas, technical innovations and massive investments, of course. All that took place predominantly in the private sector. Yet without the FCC, the internet ecosystem today would be different, and in most ways worse: less vibrant, less advanced, less competitive, less open and less reflective of American leadership and values. Along the way, this tiny agency — a tenth the size of the EPA — became a highly visible and important player in critical public policy debates. Had the FCC not put in place rules ensuring network access for new devices and applications, and opened the unlicensed wireless capacity for WiFi, the internet would never have taken off so robustly in the U.S. In the late 1990s, had it accepted the arguments of industry groups who wanted to impose per-minute charges on internet access, ban internet telephony and subjected small software companies to legacy regulations and fees, the internet as we know it could have been stopped in its tracks. Had the FCC agreed to hold evidentiary hearings to back up Congress’s 1996 decision to restrict “indecent” speech online, the courts may not have been so willing to overturn it. The FCC has been equally important in the internet’s second act, fueled by broadband and wireless. Despite a late start relative to other countries, the FCC’s National Broadband Plan set forth a detailed and powerful vision. The FCC engaged in the hard work of eliminating economic and technical barriers to broadband deployment and adoption. Most prominently, it wrestled for over a decade with how to ensure the internet remained an open platform for innovation of all sorts. A court decision in June 2016 seemed to finally establish network neutrality as the law of the land, and the FCC as the “cop on the beat” to address discriminatory practices of broadband providers. The New FCC Five months later, everything changed. President Trump’s FCC Chairman, Ajit Pai, is smart, savvy and knowledgeable about the agency and Congress. He talks a great deal about his commitment to rural broadband access. Like virtually all Republicans, however, he wants to scale back the network neutrality rules. The FCC’s first actions on the issue came under two Bush-era chairmen, but most Republicans have always been skeptical of the need for formal broadband non-discrimination rules. Ironically, that now puts them out of step with the industry. Though still opposing classification as a regulated common carrier and some of the FCC’s specific requirements, virtually every major broadband operator is on record endorsing what would have been considered strong net neutrality rules in 2004 or even 2008. They’ve lived with net neutrality requirements for the better part of four years now, and the sky hasn’t fallen. Pai and his compatriots, however, believe that today’s rules need to go. They say they’re returning to the internet policies of the Clinton administration, when regulatory humility held sway. They suggest that in walking away from network neutrality, privacy, security, consumer protection and broadband adoption programs, they’re following a similarly enlightened “light touch” path. They’re wrong. Regulatory humility in 1997 would have meant letting telephone companies impose usage-based charges on internet access; keeping voice over the internet under the requirements for traditional phone service; letting the International Telecommunication Union take over global internet governance; and standing by as influential countries adopted internet content restrictions, and registration requirements for access providers as well as other burdensome requirements. It took guts and confidence for the FCC to stand up against all those interests on behalf of a few million geeks, because it believed in the internet’s potential. Similarly, Chairman Pai’s swift action in ending the FCC’s investigation into potentially discriminatory “zero rating” practices, disqualifying providers in the Lifeline low-income broadband program, withdrawing reports on successful efforts to promote internet services in schools, and freezing pending security and privacy requirements for broadband providers shows anything but humility. Pai is signaling he’ll do everything he can to change the longstanding course of FCC internet policy.

After nine years working for IFLA in the Netherlands (and a further five working for them in Denmark a few years before that doing my PhD) I'm moving on to a new position as the Deputy Executive Director and head of international relations at the new national library in Qatar.
