Bernie,

thanks for the information about the Swiss Parliament motion on Network Neutrality. I've been searching for the full text (I do read German well) but have only been able to find a one-paragraph motion - that is even in the Legislature's website.

Is there a detailed text on what the legislation would look like? What it would forbid and what it would allow? who would be the parties subject to the legislation, how it would be enforced and by whom? What are the penalties for the different types of violation? 

And so on...

BTW Friends in other ISOC Chapters and in HQ (Markus, Sally, Frederic, who else?): we NEED a compilation of laws and regulations on Network Neutrality that all of us can consult, most desirably with a translation to English (even if not legally binding.) What do others think? Can we develop it from the Chapters up, with staff assistance if available? Can we use some of the community grant projects which are already operating to fund the translations?

AND BY THE WAY... the same is necessary, in my view, for the emerging laws and regulations in many places (not only countries but also at the subnational level of provinces, states, cities, etc.) for a Right to the Internet. In Mexico alone we have already a few law initiatives being drafted or further, already submitted, and a slew will come. 

Maybe we can use the same approach as in the previous paragraph, if workable?

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty

Asunto: [Chapter-delegates] Net Neutrality may become part of the Swiss Legislation soon

We are happy to inform you that last Friday National Councillor [Swiss
parliament] Balthasar Glaettli submitted a motion to the Swiss Government
to make Net Neutrality a fundamental element of the Swiss legislation.
So far only Chile and the Netherlands have written down Net Neutrality
national law.


Please find more information in our News-Item:

Balthasar Glaettli is also member of the ISOC Switzerland Chapter.


All the best,
  Bernie
