Listers, This might be of interest to some. Best Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dan York <york(a)isoc.org> Date: Tue, Nov 21, 2017 at 6:18 PM Subject: [Internet Policy] Internet Society Board of Trustees Statement on updated Mission and 2018 Action Plan To: ISOC Internet Policy <internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org> Internetpolicy subscribers At the conclusion of its meeting in Singapore on November 17-19, 2017, the Internet Society Board of Trustees released the following statement <https://www.internetsociety.org/news/statements/2017/internet-society-board…> : The Internet Society Board of Trustees congratulates our staff, our Chapters, and all of our members for coming together during the Internet Society’s 25th anniversary year <https://www.internetsociety.org/25th/> to celebrate the past and to shape the future. This has been an important year with many accomplishments, including the global InterCommunity event <https://www.internetsociety.org/intercommunity/2017/>held in September, which connected people from around the world and shone a spotlight on our work together. We believe this past year has set a foundation for the Internet Society to be an even more effective community and organisation going forward. To prepare for the future, the Board — in consultation with the wider Internet Society community — refreshed our time-honoured and tested vision and mission statements. We believe the robust dialogue about our shared aspirations and goals reflected the passion and commitment of our community, and resulted in a reinvigorated statement of our vision and mission <https://www.internetsociety.org/mission/>, consistent with our original commitment to an Internet that is for everyone. The updated Internet Society Mission Statement <https://www.internetsociety.org/mission/> that we approved at our meeting is as follows: ------------------------------ The Internet Society supports and promotes the development of the Internet as a global technical infrastructure, a resource to enrich people’s lives, and a force for good in society. Our work aligns with our goals for the Internet to be open, globally-connected, secure, and trustworthy. We seek collaboration with all who share these goals. Together, we focus on: - Building and supporting the communities that make the Internet work; - Advancing the development and application of Internet infrastructure, technologies, and open standards; and - Advocating for policy that is consistent with our view of the Internet. ------------------------------ We also approved the organisation’s 2018 Action Plan <https://www.internetsociety.org/action-plan/2018/>, which focuses people and resources on innovative ways to make a difference in: 1. assuring Internet access for the hardest to reach places on the globe; 2. addressing security challenges emerging from the growing Internet of Things; 3. strengthening the global Internet’s routing system; and 4. promoting collaborative governance as tool to address a range important issues. We also strongly agree with the 2018 Action Plan’s emphases on building a strengthened global Internet Society community and organisation, and on fostering key new initiatives that amplify the organisation’s ability to bring about change. Finally, and importantly, as we work to #shapetomorrow and keep the Internet Society’s commitment to openness, transparency, and community-driven processes, we began exploring how to allocate the people, resources, and energies of the Internet Society for the future. We agreed to work through a strategy for long term sustainability and impact. The Internet Society’s 2017 Global Internet Report: Paths to Our Digital Future <https://future.internetsociety.org/>, created through an extensive process of input from our community and beyond, will serve as a starting point for further dialogue to create a future-looking plan for addressing emerging issues of concern to our community. It has been an eventful year, and we look forward to building on it in the coming years. We want to applaud our committed staff and its leadership for the good work they do every day to ensure that the Internet is for everyone.

CA orders ignored
by Mose Karanja 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

Nation Media Group reported on Friday (17 Nov) of orders from the sector regulator, Communication Authority (CA), to desist from broadcasting live political activities. One does not need sophisticated analysis to see how it coincided with NASA’’s planned reception of Raila Odinga back into the country. This would have extended to online platforms as well, since most of these media companies livestream online, especially YouTube and Facebook. Nation Media ignored the order since it did not provide any legal provisions to justify its execution. I think this is the kind of pushback intermediaries should be engaging in when censorship orders are made. -Moses

The recent admission by treasury and disowning the Tech company behind e-citizen poses a major threat to exposure of millions of Kenyans data on that portal. >From below excerpt seems focus is on revenue but the bigger threat data no? “I am aware that the government has not authorised Goldrock Capital to collect the convenience fee or otherwise derive any remunerative benefit from any transaction carried out through the eCitizen portal. I am aware that Goldrock Capital is not authorised by the CS, National Treasury to collect revenue for and on behalf of the government,” Dr Thugge says in his response.

Connect2Connect Summit - Expression of Interest to be a Speaker
by Nick Ngatia 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

As many of you may be aware, the C2C Summit on smarter digital infrastructure will be taking place at Radisson Blu Hotel on 28th and 29th of this month (In two weeks time). I have been invited to speak at the conference on *Open Cellular* and how such platforms can be utilized to improve digital connectivity in remote areas. However, I will be away in the last week of November and will unfortunately not make it to the summit. That said, I'm wondering whether any of you is interested in being a speaker. This session will take place on the afternoon of November 28th at 3 p.m. For most of us who are members of the Internet Society and took the Building Wireless Community Networks course, this might be a great opportunity to share your knowledge from the course and work experience at the conference. If you are interested in this opportunity, do reply to this email or contact me directly through: *ngatia(a)localpathways.org <ngatia(a)localpathways.org>* .

Privacy and Email Providers
by Francis Gesora 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Don't know if this makes sense, but if you try sending an email on gmail, with the word "attached" in your email body, gmail will always hold on sending and propose that you consider whether you want to attach a file. This seems a bit unsettling, does this mean email providers actually peruse the content of the emails prior / during sending? I know we agree to terms, but doesn't it go against privacy policies? -- Regards, Francis Gesora.
