Fwd: [opennetcoalition] The Entire Internet Under Governmental Censorship In France?
by Michel Bauwens 15 Jun '11

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: La Quadrature du Net <jz(a)laquadrature.net> Date: Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 11:04 PM Subject: [opennetcoalition] The Entire Internet Under Governmental Censorship In France? To: opennetcoalition(a)laquadrature.net La Quadrature du Net - For immediate release Permanent link: http://www.laquadrature.net/en/the-entire-internet-under-governmental-censo… The Entire Internet Under Governmental Censorship In France? *** Paris, June 15th, 2011 – Information website PC INpact revealed today a draft executive order which would give the French government the power to arbitrarily censor any content or service on the Net. The French government is furthering its policy to control the Internet, in complete disregard of citizens' rights and freedoms. *** To implement article 18 of the law for the Digital Economy of June 21th, 2004, the French government is proposing to give to several of its ministries the power to order the censorship of online content that harms or otherwise puts at risk public order and security, the protection of minors, of public health, national defence, or physical persons [1]. Clearly, the definition of these categories of content are both vague and overreaching. Such censorship measures – whether they consist in the removal or filtering of content – would be directly undertaken by the government, without any decision by a judicial authority. In practice, they would apply to all kinds of websites or online news services [2]. A few months after voting the French securitarian LOPPSI law and setting up the ARJEL online-gambling authority, this new decree would be in total contradiction with the UN's special rapporteur's report [3] or the French parliamentary report by MPs de La Raudière (UMP) et Erhel (SRC) on Net Neutrality, [4] which both condemn blocking measures, particularly when carried out by an administrative authority. “This draft executive order aims to give the government a vastly disproportionate power to censor any website or content on the Internet. It is an obvious violation of the principle of separation of powers, and strongly harms freedom of communication online [5]. This is an extremely disturbing drift, in direct continuity with the French government's repressive Internet-related policies. This draft executive order must absolutely be rejected.” concludes Jérémie Zimmermann, spokesperson of the citizen organization La Quadrature du Net. * Références * 1. The law's article 18 states, in French, that the administrative authority is competent “lorsqu'il est porté atteinte ou qu'il existe un risque sérieux et grave d'atteinte au maintien de l'ordre et de la sécurité publics, à la protection des mineurs, à la protection de la santé publique, à la préservation des intérêts de la défense nationale ou à la protection des personnes physiques”. 2. Article 14th of the LCEN specifies that “services such as providing online news, commercial communications and data search, access and recovery tools, access to a communication network or data hosting also fit in the range of online business, even if they are not paid by the ones who benefit from them” (our translation). 3. See paragraph 31 of the report: “States’ use of blocking or filtering technologies is frequently in violation of their obligation to guarantee the right to freedom of expression, as the criteria mentioned under chapter III are not met. Firstly, the specific conditions that justify blocking are not established in law, or are provided by law but in an overly broad and vague manner, which risks content being blocked arbitrarily and excessively. Secondly, blocking is not justified to pursue aims which are listed under article 19, paragraph 3, of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and blocking lists are generally kept secret, which makes it difficult to assess whether access to content is being restricted for a legitimate purpose. Thirdly, even where justification is provided, blocking measures constitute an unnecessary or disproportionate means to achieve the purported aim, as they are often not sufficiently targeted and render a wide range of content inaccessible beyond that which has been deemed illegal. Lastly, content is frequently blocked without the intervention of or possibility for review by a judicial or independent body.” See: http://www.laquadrature.net/en/un-report-on-freedom-of-expression-bashes-g8… 4. In April 2011, a parliamentary mission took the opportunity to question the grounds for filtering measures “despite their apparent legitimacy, due to their inefficiency and the adverse effects they may lead to.” See: http://www.laquadrature.net/en/net-neutrality-an-encouraging-report-from-th… 5. http://www.laquadrature.net/fr/le-filtrage-dinternet-viole-letat-de-droit ** About la Quadrature du Net ** La Quadrature du Net is an advocacy group that promotes the rights and freedoms of citizens on the Internet.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Simona Levi <info(a)conservas.tk> Date: Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 10:10 PM Subject: [fcf_discussion] brief report on the visit of Stallman to Ms. Kroes To: fcforum_discussion(a)list.fcforum.net We were 3: Richard Matthew Stallman, Karsten Gerloff (FSFE) and myself as FCForum. Stallman went through free sofware, patents, new threats on privacy and free standards. Kroes no much interested... Then he went through "support artists supporting sharing", volontary payment etc... She asked question on how many artists think like us. Richard pass it to me. Brief explaination showing figure of the shares and of how big is the community. Then the question on ISP control. She is not in charge... of course... An then my worse shock: Stallman asked how can we help her. She say that her greater concern is the protection of children and that internet can be dangerous.... :-(. Every body got nervous and we were driven out. Later on we sent to them via la quadrature the contact of the organization working in protection of children but against censureship of the internet. Pictures in @La_EX_ All bit sad but maybe useful... Richard was more optimistic than me :-) besos!

political & social revolution / transition to a commons-based society / intergenerational learning
by George Por 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Michel, The new movements' new thinking is emerging as we speak. The post-camps phase of DRY seems creating structures of engagement that, if successful, can transcend (and include) protest and outrage, moving towards growing new institutions of counter-power. However, the *social* revolution (beyond the political), as you know, which includes a radical transformation of the capitalist mode and relations of production and distribution, the root system of the social ills that the current movement is attacking, will take much longer. In resonance with the Kondratieff cycle mentioned in a recent analysis of the revolutionary crisis, on the p2p site, I anticipate a decades-long transition to a post-capitalist, commons-based society. Some of your writings and Adam Arvidsson's new book will be instrumental to illuminate the challenges and opportunities of the transition, in which the struggle includes pushing for more and more commons-friendly markets and states. All that shouldn't lure us into thinking as we knew what is really happening, right now. Learning is more important than knowing. The courage and creativity of the movements hugely inspire me to pay close attention and do what I can to support them. That's what inspired also my idea for the workshop that we'll have at SOAS university, here in London, http://t.co/FwCPloF . Since the 60s I hardly had any hope that this moment can come in my lifetime. What do you all think about the best ways, in which owe generation can support the movement? in solidarity, george

darpa's living foundries

Bryan Bishop <kanzure(a)gmail.com> Jun 07 02:26PM -0500 ^<?ui=2&view=bsp&ver=ohhl4rw8mbn4#1306f1a96c29344f_digest_top> https://www.fbo.gov/spg/ODA/DARPA/CMO/DARPA-SN-11-44/listing.html Synopsis: Added: Jun 03, 2011 4:42 pm Special Notice (SN) DARPA-SN-11-44 SUBJECT: Living Foundries Industry Day DATE: June 28, 2011 REGISTRATION DEADLINE: June 21, 2011 Registration Website: https://safe.sysplan.com/mto/livingfoundries TECHNICAL POC: Dr. Alicia Jackson, DARPA/MTO Living Foundries Industry Day, DARPA-SN-11-44 The Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is sponsoring an Industry Day for "Living Foundries," a new DARPA program. The goal of the Living Foundries program is to apply an engineering framework to biology to harness its use as a technology and drive its advance as a manufacturing platform. In turning biological production into an engineering space where the only limit is the creativity of the designer, Living Foundries aims to enable on-demand production of new and high-value materials, devices and capabilities for the Department of Defense and establish a new manufacturing capability for the United States. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of Living Foundries, DARPA is looking to engage the wider research community from fields both outside and inside the biological sciences to develop new ideas, approaches and tools to overcome current limitations and to create revolutionary capabilities. Current, primitive examples of engineering biology rely on an ad hoc, laborious, trial-and-error process, wherein one successful project does not inform subsequent, new designs. This approach combined with the complexity of biological systems restricts current, one-off efforts to modifying only a small set of genes and constructing simple, isolated genetic circuits and metabolic pathways. Consequently, we are limited to producing only a small fraction of the vast number of possible chemicals, materials, and living systems that would be enabled by the ability to truly engineer biology. Through an engineering-driven approach to biology, Living Foundries aims to create a rapid, reliable manufacturing capability where multiple cellular functions can be fabricated, mixed and matched on demand and the whole system controlled by integrated circuitry, opening up the full space of biologically produced materials and systems. Key to success will be the democratization of the biological design and manufacturing process, breaking open the field to those outside the biological sciences. In order to achieve the vision of Living Foundries, new tools, technologies and methodologies must be developed to transform biology into an engineering practice, decoupling design from fabrication and speeding the biological design, build, test cycle. These include: design tools that span from high-level description to fabrication in cells; modular genetic parts that allow a combination of systems to be designed and reproducibly assembled; methods for developing and fine-tuning new genetic parts and systems; well-understood test platforms, "cell-like" systems and chassis that readily integrate new genetic designs in a predictable fashion; next generation DNA synthesis and assembly techniques; and tools that allow for routine system characterization and debugging, among others. Further, these technological advances and innovations must be integrated to prove-out and push the boundaries of biological design towards the ultimate vision of point-of-use, on-demand, mass-customization biological manufacturing. The Industry Day will be held at the Capitol Conference Center in Arlington, VA on June 28, 2011. Directions to the Capital Conference Center can be found at http://www.thecapitalconferencecenter.com/. The goals of the Industry Day are: (a) to introduce the research community (industry, academia, and Government) to the Living Foundries vision and goals; (b) to encourage and promote teaming arrangements among potential research organizations that have the relevant expertise, facilities, and capabilities for executing research and development responsive to the Living Foundries program goals; and (c) to facilitate interaction between investigators who may have capabilities to develop elements of interest and relevance to the Living Foundries goals. The Industry Day will include overview presentations, a poster session to facilitate interaction and team building among participants, and an opportunity to interact and present capabilities and concepts to government personnel in closed-door sidebar sessions. There is no fee for any Industry Day activities. Registration is limited by the venue capacity (maximum of 100 attendees) and early registration is strongly recommended. Organizations are limited to two attendees; however, in the event that the Industry Day is oversubscribed, DARPA reserves the right to limit participation to 1 attendee per organization. The registration cutoff date is June 21, 2011, at noon ET, or once attendance capacity is met, whichever comes first. An on-line registration form, preliminary workshop agenda, citizenship verification form, foreign national visit request form, meeting details, and hotel information for the workshop can be found at the following registration website, https://safe.sysplan.com/mto/livingfoundries. There will be no on-site registration. Posters: Appropriate teaming will be a critical element in responding to an anticipated DARPA Living Foundries solicitation. Industry Day participants are strongly encouraged to prepare poster abstracts describing areas of capabilities in order to facilitate communications, interactions, and teaming discussions during the poster session. Poster abstracts must be submitted by June 21, 2011, at noon ET. Poster abstracts must include a brief (1 page) narrative description of capabilities. Responders may find abstract submission guidance at the registration website. Poster abstracts submitted in response to the Special Notice will be considered public information and will be provided on a public website. Sidebars: Attendees who wish to describe their capabilities in a closed-door session with government personnel are required to submit an abstract describing their research and capabilities using the guidelines provided below; there will be a limited number of sessions depending on schedule, with each session lasting no more than ten minutes. Areas of interest include new tools, technologies and methodologies to transform biology into an engineering practice and manufacturing platform, decouple biological design from fabrication and speed the biological design, build, test cycle. Examples include: design tools that span from high-level description to fabrication in cells; modular genetic parts that allow a combination of systems to be designed and reproducibly assembled; methods for developing and fine-tuning new genetic parts and systems; well-understood test platforms, "cell-like" systems and chassis that readily integrate new genetic designs in a predictable fashion; next generation DNA synthesis and assembly techniques; tools that allow for routine system characterization and debugging; and the integration of these capabilities for the rapid design and development of new biological systems and products, among others. DARPA appreciates responses from all capable and qualified sources including but not limited to universities, university affiliated research centers, and private or public companies. Sidebar session abstract responses should adhere to the following instructions: 1. All submissions must be made electronically (as described below), and be in either Adobe PDF or Microsoft Word format. 2. Cover Page (1 page) a. Title b. Organization c.
