FYI: From the European Commission: human rights guidance for 3 business sectors
by Patrik Fältström 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

Hi, As you can see below European Commission just released human rights guidance for 3 business sectors. I have helped COM and specifically IHRB with their piece of the work, and I know others on this list have also helped. Everything from more formal support to extremely good comments that have helped making the documents what they finally ended up being.

DNS-based filtering
by Niall O'Reilly 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hello. Erika's mention of the need "to decrease the gap in the dialogue between governments and the technical community" and a current thread on the bind-users mailing list made me wonder whether the report I mention in the message below is as well known as I think it deserves to be outside the DNS technical community and certain parts of the wider French Internet community.

Invitation of speakers to the Warsaw meeting
by Alain Van Gaever 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Hi Chris, We just finished our bi-weekly conf call with the co-chairs. We were wondering on how to invite speakers to the Warsaw meeting. As a practical example we would need to send an invite out for Anna Buchta from the European Data Protection Supervisor. I am willing to write the e-mail, but I assume that for practical reasons the official request should come from RIPE NCC? Thanks Alain ________________________________ ****************************************************************************************************************** For more information visit www.ofcom.org.uk This email (and any attachments) is confidential and intended for the use of the addressee only.

It is also expected that organisers will offer some form of remote participation for those unable to attend the event in person.

I work at the European Commission, in the Directorate-General for Communication Networks, Content and Technology (sorry for the mouthful - we call it DG CONNECT). I have been one of the persons working on the Communication on Internet Policy and Governance which our former colleague, Gordon Lennox, has kindly shared on this and other lists (they were on my list but Gordon spared me some typing :).

We are very much in listening mode and to the extent possible I'll be glad to react to your points, questions, comments and criticisms. There might be cases in which I will want to double check the position of the European Commission on any particular matter, and this might produce some delay in the exchanges; but I'll do my best to be as quick, open and transparent as possible.

European Commission - Internet Governance
by Gordon Lennox 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Commission Européenne - IP/14/142 12/02/2014 Commission to pursue role as honest broker in future global negotiations on Internet Governance In the wake of large-scale Internet surveillance and reduced trust in the internet, the European Commission today proposes a key reform to the way the Internet is managed and run. The proposal calls for more transparent, accountable and inclusive governance. Commission Vice-President Neelie Kroes said: "The next two years will be critical in redrawing the global map of Internet governance. Europe must contribute to a credible way forward for global internet governance. Europe must play a strong role in defining what the net of the future looks like.” The Commission is committed to an internet that continues to serve fundamental freedoms and human rights, Kroes noted: “Our fundamental freedoms and human rights are not negotiable. They must be protected online.” .... http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-14-142_en.htm

Re: [cooperation-wg] DNS-based filtering
by Michele Neylon - Blacknight 04 Feb '14

Jim Yes, but from what I've seen most people who want geographically diverse DNS these days use a service which offers it eg. Dyn or one of the other big DNS providers. I know you're doing it for your personal domain, but that's hardly surprising :) Registry operators - particularly ccTLDs - do this all the time, but I don't see many registrants of domains doing it anymore. And I thought this paper was about domains more than domain registries?

For instance many TLDs rely on a mixture of name servers they operate themselves, some provided by other TLD registries -- I'll slave your zone if you slave mine -- and others from commercial anycast providers. It might be true that the majority of registrants just stick with whatever DNS is offered by their registrar but not all of them do that. Clueful ones certainly don't.
