Colleagues, see response from ISOC below: Internetpolicy subscribers, FYI, yesterday we published a statement expressing our concern about measures taken in Spain to block access to certain websites and, perhaps more concerning, to require a top-level domain (TLD) operator to engage in content monitoring and blocking. This is a tense time politically in Spain with an independence referendum having been called for October 1 in the Catalonia region which the central Spanish government views as illegal. We do not want to get involved in the politics of the situation, but are concerned by the manner in which the Internet is being restricted. As we have repeatedly stated, we do not see Internet blocking / shutdowns as effective measures and believe they cause far more collateral damage to the economy and society. Please do read and share our statement: https://www.internetsociety.org/news/statements/2017/ internet-society-statement-internet-blocking-measures-catalonia-spain/ https://www.internetsociety.org/es/news/declarationes/ 2017/declaracion-de-internet-society-sobre-medidas-de- bloqueo-de-internet-en-cataluna-espana/ Shared on social at: https://twitter.com/internetsociety/status/910995196405518336 https://www.facebook.com/InternetSociety/posts/10154627959548239 Regards, Dan -- Dan York Senior Manager, Content & Web Strategy, Internet Society [email protected] +1-802-735-1624 <+1%20802-735-1624> Jabber: [email protected] Skype: danyork http://twitter.com/danyork http://www.internetsociety.org/ On Sat, Sep 23, 2017 at 7:28 AM, Grace Mutung'u (Bomu) via kictanet < [email protected]> wrote:

Dear Barrack,
I wonder what the court order contained.
But this is not good. It messes up the DNS industry.
Regards,
