<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>no doubt it is within the purview of states and governments to create entities to attend to the defense and security of national information, computational and network assets. This will be colored by the legal and cultural traditions of each country, their needs and competences, and hopefully a rational risk management framework.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Historically much of the Internet security capabilities has been built outside of governments or, when within the government itself, below the radar of the highest level of authority. In developed and in developing countries alike, the competences of CERTs and CSIRTs has long preceded the higher-level discourse that connects Internet security, robustness, stability and resilience with public and national security. Sometimes these entities have been hampered in their ability to perform their tasks thoroughly by lack of an entity in government that can do such things as prosecute criminals, call for cooperation from other countries, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The "ISOC thing" to do seems to me: make sure that all existing resources (people, knowledge, best practices, management of security vs. privacy/innovation/freedom debates, etc.) are applied and recognized by the new governmental entities; that their creation follow organically from the Internet community in each country and with an intense, horizontal cross-border cooperation; that the new entities and capabilities are framed legally and with respect to due process, the presumption of innocence, and respect for all rights applicable. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Thus an ISOC chapter's contribution can be made at all stages of conceiving, planning, building and operating the centers, and very much in their oversight. Application of technical rationality and cool-minded analysis for avoiding excessive fear-based propaganda and a number of fallacies in it is also very much our job.</div>
