[Chapter-delegates] Sally Wentworth on Core Internet Values

[Eduard Tric]

Permission ? To preach about ISOC values in local language ? 
"If Tim Berners-Lee had to ask for permission, would the World-Wide Web exist?"  :))))

Ed

Sally, well done (and, of course, I personally liked the mentioning of 
Bulgaria;-))

I only wish that ISOC publishes all its articles under Creative Commons 
- attribution, or similar license, so that we could actually use this 
article, without the need to go to ISOC each time for permission.

ISOC - is that possible?

Veni

As an Internet user, I have to feel confident that all of the endpoints are connected--that when I type in www.rabobank.com , that’s actually the site I go to, and not somewhere else. It’s a little like the seal on a bottle of Tylenol, which reassures me that there has been no tampering with what’s inside. This integrity is partly a result of a technical specification called DNSSEC, which has been in the news a bit lately because of the impact that the SOPA legislation would have had on DNSSEC. I'll come back to SOPA in a few minutes.

Said another way, this is the ability of anyone to create a new service on the Internet without having to get approval from a governing body. Without thinking about this too long, any of us could come up with a long list of online services that might not exist if scientists and entrepreneurs needed to vet their ideas with, say, their local phone company, their national government or the United Nations.

Would the idea of a Web “spider” have been rejected, cutting off the development of Internet search services such as Google? Would Facebook have 850 million users and be headed for an IPO that could value it at $100 billion? How about Wikipedia and Twitter and Web mapping software and downloadable music and hundreds of other things we take for granted in our daily lives?

This goes farther than people’s being able to consume whatever legal content they want; it extends to their ability to contribute content, add a server, or attach a new network, as long as they follow the Internet's technical standards.

In addressing Internet security issues, we must find a way to get all stakeholders involved, from users, to those of you in the Internet research community, to commercial companies, to policymakers. Solutions developed in isolation either don’t solve the problem or cause more harm than good. In some cases they can create significant problems that undermine the stability of the Internet.
