Thanks for this reminder Evan.<br>
<br>
Another thing which should be considered is for all Mail exchangers
to use SSL/TLS. Way too many still don't, which means email goes end
to end in clear text. This is like using postcards where everybody
along the line can read the email sent.<br>
I had an excellent discussion with a long-timer whilst meeting in
Berlin a couple of days ago. It appears that the Heartbleed weakness
received Press time and therefore overwhelming public pressure for
something to be done simply because it had a good, inspiring logo.<br>
<br>
So all we need really are inspiring logos. I suggest one for TLS/SSL
and another one for the use of PGP.<br>
<br>
These security weaknesses have been around for a very long time -
it's just nobody's bothered with fixing them and when techies look
at them & ask their managers for money to fix them, they're told
it's not important.<br>

Artists -- get drawing!<br>

Kind regards,<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I notice a new initiative, "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
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>
<li>ISOC and/or chapters are aware of the campaign but do
not agree with all its aims or tactics<br>
<br>
</li>
<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>
<li>ISOC is working on its own campaign along these lines<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Reset the Net is too US-specific (very NSA-specific, no
translations)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>

<div>Comments?</div>
