Hi everyone, In a previous communication we relayed that we were intending to meet with both Electronic Frontiers Australia and Internet Australia to identify where our organisations could align and co-operate for stronger impact. We've now met with both Jon Lawrence and George Fong respectively, and there are many threads of discussion that are now being worked through - and when they are more concrete I will of course report them back. I thank both Jon and George for their time, energy and willingness to identify areas where we can work together. One of the first items to arise from these discussions is that of the Internet Australia Security Special Interest Group (SIG) https://www.internet.org.au/our-work/23-our-work/sigs/58-security The SIG aims to give body to the Internet Architecture Board's Statement on Internet Confidentiality https://www.iab.org/2014/11/14/iab-statement-on-internet-confidentiality/ the most important line of which is, IMHO, "We recommend that encryption be deployed throughout the protocol stack since there is not a single place within the stack where all kinds of communication can be protected." Internet Australia have approached Linux Australia for technical representation on this SIG - and we're now seeking nominations from our broader community to join the SIG. Nominations can be directed to George Fong (george at lateral plains one word dot com) With kind regards, Kathy -- Kathy Reid President Linux Australia 0418 130 636 [email protected] http://linux.org.au Linux Australia Inc GPO Box 4788 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia ABN 56 987 117 479
