this initiative. As I've mentioned on the Internet Policy list, ISOC is a
signatory of the necessary and proportionate principles, so I was a bit puzzled
that ISOC did not openly promote those principles at Netmundial or complain
afterwards that they were not included in the Netmundial
outcome.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

I've heard intelligence services (and not just those of the USA) are able to
compromise certificates and/or defeat current encryption by other
means.</SPAN></FONT></DIV><SPAN class=265551306-08052014>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hello all,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I notice a new initiative, "<A href="https://www.resetthenet.org/">Reset
the Net</A>", being launched.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Its aim is to get more websites to use HTTPS, and to encourage more end
users to learn and use surveillance-resistant tools.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Central to the campaign is to declare June 5, the one year anniversary of
the first Snowden-derived news leak, as "reset the net day". On that day,
participating sites would sport an appropriate banner. The site is also
collecting signatures for a "pledge" to implement resistant tools.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Current supporters include Greenpeace, the Free Software Foundation,
Reddit, and about a dozen smaller orgs. Missing from the list is the EFF and
especially ISOC and any chapters. I also have not heard mention of it here
before,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Exclusion can be for one of a number of reasons, I'd like to know if any
of these apply:<BR><BR>
<UL>
<LI>ISOC and/or chapters are not aware of the campaign (if so, now it is :-)
)<BR><BR>
<LI>ISOC and/or chapters are aware of the campaign but do not agree with all
its aims or tactics<BR><BR>
<LI>There are just too many of these unconnected campaigns (OpenStand,
Necessary and Proportionate, etc) and they are losing their power because
they all are starting to look the same<BR><BR>
<LI>ISOC is working on its own campaign along these lines<BR><BR>
<LI>Reset the Net is too US-specific (very NSA-specific, no
translations)</LI></UL></DIV>
