 Weltweites Echo: Wassenaar Campaign
 
 Die Aktion der Global Internet Liberty Campaign zieht weite
 Kreise.  Dazu hat sich das kanadische Aussenministerium zu
 Wort gemeldet (c below) & erklärt, dass man dazu beitragen
 werde, die Paragraphen des Vertrags in puncto Kryptographie
 zu modernisieren.
 Die Experten werden in Wien bis Ende nächster Woche tagen.
 
 Telepolis hat nicht nur eine grosse Story, sondern auch die
 Wassenaar/Erklärung Volltext ins Netz gestellt.

 Crypto-Exportgesetze durch die US Regierung zu finden sind.

 Thank you for taking the time to communicate your views to
 us.
 I can assure you that the issues you mention will likely all
 be
 raised at some point in the proceedings, from various
 perspectives,
 by various parties.  Canada's position will be a balanced
 one,
 ensuring that the goals of exporters and privacy advocates
 are
 given equal weight to those of law enforcement and national
 security.
 You have already noted that Wassenaar came into being to
 protect
 national and regional security and stability, and to ensure
 that
 cryptography is not used by inappropriate end-users, for
 inappropriate
 applications, to destabilize security (including violent or
 commerciel
 crime) and peace.  But since our "clients" are the exporters
 of
 cryptography, we are always mindful of matters that related
 to an
 international level playing field, fairness and
 transparency, and
 the application of cryptography for peaceful commercial
 purposes
 related to protecting ones own organization against computer
 crime.
 Of course, as only one of 33 members, Canada will be part of
 a larger
 consensus-building process aimed at modernizing the current
 control
 agreements. Once again, thank-you for your input.
