Australian activities within this context are being coordinated by
Jon Lawrence of Electronic Frontiers Australia.

Jon is also a Director of ISOC-AU, and is on this list.
But he's pretty busy right now, preparing for 11 Feb.

The Internet Society supports the principles of this initiative and 
is planning a blog posting from Markus Kummer on Monday to highlight 
this effort, along with other similar initiatives across the 
community. I've attached a copy of that blog to this email.  As a 
global organization, our message will be focused on the importance of 
community collaboration around important topics that impact the 
future of the Internet. Because this initiative is primarily US 
focused, we do not plan to sign on to the website or post "The Day We 
Fight Back" banner on our website.  Nevertheless, we feel that all 
our Chapters should know about this initiative and, if you find this 
useful, take the opportunity to support it, either 1) with a 
signature and display of the banner (from the 
website information above) by the US chapters, or 2) by clicking on 
the International banner and other areas for non US citizen chapters.



This issue of pervasive secret surveillance by governments 
around the world has eroded trust in the Internet as a concourse of 
freedom, innovation, economic opportunity and global community 
development.  We encourage all our chapters to be vigilant and active 
in support of the open and secure Internet.



WIth thanks and best regards,
