Sorry Odile - Gerard congratulations!<br><br>Alejandro, thanks for the info. The article about China looks like that's their solution to the Who Is problem. With this comment I am not implying that I am in accord with them.<br>
<br>Indeed, It would be very interesting to know from our friends in Spain what they thing about their experiences and or comments about the IDénum proposal. <br><br>Eduardo Diaz<br>ISOC-Puerto Rico<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Eduardo, (and Odile and Gerard - congratulations, Gerard),<br>
<br>
very interesting? Something like <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/190013/china_further_tightens_rules_for_domain_name_owners.html" target="_blank">http://www.pcworld.com/article/190013/china_further_tightens_rules_for_domain_name_owners.html</a> is nothing more than "interesting"?<br>
<br>
Please exert due diligence.<br>
<br>
1. The IDénum proposal is tantamount to a national electronic identity card. This is being tested in some countries (Spain among them.) It would be worthwhile to discuss with, among others, the ISOC members in chapters in Spain who are on this very same list.<br>
<br>
2. "Chip and PIN" is used for credit cards in many European countries. It has been said to fail (maybe an exaggeration, but surely a call of alarm) recently. You may get to some news about this reading <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/susanwatts/2010/02/new_flaws_in_chip_and_pin_syst.html?s=tp" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/susanwatts/2010/02/new_flaws_in_chip_and_pin_syst.html?s=tp</a> among many other pieces. It may be a bit weak for such general use over the Internet if it is already a bit weak for dedicated, telephone linkages like many credit-card terminals are hooked up to.<br>
<br>

(So, if I'm wrong, or insufficiently informed, please do let me know urgently!)<br>

Yours,<br>

Congratulations on being elected president of the Isoc France Chair. We in<br>
Puerto Rico do not have anything like what your government is looking to do<br>
in France. However, we would like to see the final outcome on this. It seem<br>
to us to be a very interesting idea.<br>

Sent on behalf of Gérard Dantec, recently elected Isoc France Chair who<br>
will be subscribed to the list very shortly! Odile<br>
<br>
Hello<br>
<br>
I'm Gerard Dantec, recently elected president of the French chapter. I have<br>
a question for the list.<br>
<br>
The French Minister responsible for development of the digital economy<br>
(Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet) opens a consultation and asks the French<br>
chapter of ISOC to participate. The subject is "IDéNum": new label for easy<br>
and secure access to various online services.<br>
<br>
<br>
To authenticate, the user must connect a physical medium (mobile phone,<br>
smart card, USB or MP3) containing a certificate, and dial a PIN.<br>
<br>
Do you have similar experiences in your country, and if so, can you share<br>
information with us i.e achievements, problems that aroused, etc...<br>
<br>
This way, the French chapter can submit to the Minister a statement of<br>
projects for which the chapters of ISOC provide standby or in which they are<br>
directly or indirectly involved<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
