That?s a rather bizarre conclusion to make from my statements. The Snowden leaks provide me with nothing.
The issue is not whether there are problems related to surveillance. The issue is whether there is a concrete connection between how the surveillance occurred and the US role related to the IANA function or to ICANN generally. I have not seen a concrete connection demonstrated yet. Just vague hand-waving about ?trust.? So I?ll continue to suggest that the ?Snowden Revelations? were an excuse, rather than a reason, to call for ?globalization? of Internet Governance.
The other point I was making is that the US is not alone in conducting surveillance, for better or worse. Even the ?Snowden Revelations? revealed surveillance by other governments, alone or in concert, and the sharing of intelligence between nations. If we had all the facts about global surveillance in front of us, the picture would certainly be far different than the one available to us today. Especially about who you can ?trust.?
As far as your questions go, they are so far off anything I said, I don?t see the need to answer. I will say that on the one hand, I don?t have any love of surveillance (my grandparents left Poland one step ahead of the secret police due to trade union activities and my father had his phone tapped and mail opened due to antiwar activities), but it?s too simplistic to say that surveillance is per se evil (I watched the World Trade Center towers come down in front of my eyes from my office window).
And I really don?t see what ?great global companies? have to do with any of this.

Dear Gregory,
The Snowden leaks seem above all to provide you an argument against all governments and public bodies.
So, what could be your conclusion? To forget every democratic representation and leave citizens alone facing the great global companies?
I doubt it could be your wish, is it?
@+, cheers, Dominique
Le 17/03/14 00:22, Shatan, Gregory S. a ?crit :
The Snowden leaks provided a convenient soapbox for the EU and others to climb on and demand this transition. Perhaps the EU member states should throw open their surveillance activities for public scrutiny, so that we could compare and contrast the levels and types of mass surveillance actually going on. Then we could make more reasoned judgments about "issues of trust."
Since the EU isn't really a "government," and presumably does not itself take on significant surveillance activities, it has "plausible deniability" when it comes to such things. This allows the EU to "throw the first stone," while not really being "without sin."

Given this difference, why are the Brazilian government, the I*, and the European Commission insisting on treating US mass surveillance as a trigger for calling for IANA reform?
The Brazilian government lumped those two topics together for NetMundial, with ample encouragement from 1Net and ICANN. The I* brought those two issues together in the Montevideo Declaration. The European Commission in a recent press release noted:
"Recent revelations of large-scale surveillance have called into question the stewardship of the US when it comes to Internet Governance.
So given the US-centric model of Internet Governance currently in place, it is necessary to broker a smooth transition to a more global model while at the same time protecting the underlying values of open multi-stakeholder governance of the Internet."
I can't quite grok why.

1+ Adiel.
A good performance of the IANA functions is a pre-condition that the
Internet works and can be used by all kind of governmental and
non_governmental players for good and bad things. The publication of a
TLD zone file in the root doesn?t say anything what the Registrant of
a domain name is doing with the domain. And it has nothing to do with
third party?s attack on this domains by blocking, filtering, hacking,
manipulating, spying etc. The problem is that so far there not enough
multi-stakeholder places where users and providers of services can go
to look for (policy and technical) arrangements to counter bad things.
This is one challenge for Net Mundial. It should discuss what on top
of a multi-stakehoder managed technical layer (which includes the
termination of the transition of the IANA function to the network of
the multistakleholder I* organizations) should be done to have
multi-stakehooder mechanisms on the content/political layer. We know
that the two lyers are interconnec
ted, but they are two different shoes. New multistakeholder policy mechanisms will not emerge over night. But Sao Paulo can start the process and deliver a Multistakeholder Internet Governance Roadmap 2020 (MINGORO 2020).

Betreff: Re: [discuss] [governance] NTIA statement
I disagree as well. In this discussion it is very important to dissociate the USG/NTIA by role in the performance of IANA function by ICANN and the issue related to mass surveillance. The two are not technically linked and should be addressed separately.

Well I would not disagree that mass surveillance indeed continues.
Any NSA statement that says otherwise?

Hi,
The IANA ballyhoo comes from the same factory as the "internet freedom" smoke screen launched before WCIT. It's a spin diversion for the show.
Mass surveillance continues. What's new ?
