RIPE 30: TLD-WG session planning
by Niall.oReilly＠ucd.ie 27 Mar '98

27 Mar '98

Dear TLD-WG-ers, Based on experience, I estimate that we may need half a day for the TLD-WG session at RIPE 30, and suggest as before the entire morning of day 2. For RIPE 30, that's Tuesday, 19 May. I expect that this is the only parallel session slot which can suit CENTR policy group members. Unless I receive objections no later than Friday 3 April, I shall understand that this timetabling is acceptable. I'll be glad to have your agenda proposals soon. Best regards, Niall O'Reilly -------- Logged at Mon Mar 30 15:06:10 MET DST 1998 ---------

Urgent help required on possible Internet law in Bulgaria
by Niall.oReilly＠ucd.ie 27 Feb '98

27 Feb '98

Veni, In Ireland, legislative interest in the Internet has appeared only in relation to the distribution of pornography and the protection of minors. It is not clear what will come of this. I understand that relevant state agencies and ISP's are co-operating to address this area. Domain registry has not been involved, and would not wish to be. I expect that in the long term, legislation to regulate Internet communication will arrive in Ireland. Until now, and for the foreseeable future, state agencies are taking a non-interventionist approach. I expect the intent of any future legislation to be in support of industry needs rather than regulation for regulation's sake. I do not expect anything unwelcome. To my knowledge, some other countries also have quiet support of their TLD registry from state agencies, with a more developed relationship than we have in Ireland. In at least one case, a state agency is (or is becoming) involved directly in the TLD registry. All of this without problem. If your legislators are inclined to regulate the Internet, the challenge is to persuade them to do "the right thing", and to keep their intervention at a helpful, rather than intrusive, level. At the end of the day, your legislators are in charge in your country. You have to recognise this, and restrict your own efforts to area where you can make a difference. Courage and good luck!
