[Chapter-delegates] A Rough Guide to ISOC's IETF73 Hot Topics

Fri Nov 14 06:43:36 PST 2008

Hi Anne, all,

here goes the text in Spanish I used in ISOC Mexico to further present the 
guide to the IETF-73 you kindly put together:

"Hola,

les transmito una muy útil descripción de algunas sesiones de la reunión 
de la IETF que se llevará a cabo la semana próxima; por tener
lugar en Minneapolis, los horarios son favorables para escuchar las 
transmisiones aquí.

Si bien la IETF es una reunión técnica bastante densa, muchos de los temas 
que ha seleccionado aquí el staff de ISOC tocan temas de la
frontera entre tecnología y sociedad y políticas públicas. Por ejemplo, 
las sesiones sobre administración de la anchura de banda
proveen el fundamento técnico de muchas de las discusiones sobre 
Neutralidad de la Red, que siguen siendo intensas en otros países y
aquí un día nos van a alcanzar en fea forma.

Las sesiones sobre DKIM se refieren a un mecanismo usado para autenticar 
dominios y por ello considerar también autenticados los
orígenes de correo electrónico y otras comunicaciones, las de IPv4/Ipv6 se 
explican prácticamente solas, y aunque se anuncia que los
trabajos sobre DNSSEC son técnicos es indudable que se refinará también la 
posición política de la IETF al respecto y a su vez,
posteriormente, influirá sobre la posición de ISOC.

Creo que esto ilustra el vivo interés que sigue despertando la 
construcción de la tecnología de Internet y su interfase con los cambios
que su expansión produce en la sociedad.

Alejandro Pisanty"

Do you think someone bilingual in ISOC staff can translate these few words 
in a 24-hr cycle or should someone of us undertake to do so as a volunteer 
effort?

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
