Dear Sala, thanks for the forward of these links and related documents / the report from the German Federal Internet Commission. This is just to note that several members from EURALO and its German ALSes (Annette Mühlberg, Padeluun, Markus Beckedahl) were members of this commission and closely involved in the discourse representing civil society. It's good to have the outcomes in written now but - unfortunately - most of the recommendations won't leave any traces under the current government -- such as establishing a permanent Internet commissioner and others. But it was worth a trial ;-) Best, Wolf Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro wrote Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:55:
Dear All,
As you can imagine some of the continuing issues permeating through increasing reliance on the Internet are issues of Data Protection and Privacy. One of the latest developments in Europe, specifically Germany is the release of the report by a Commission that was established by their Parliament.
A Special Internet and Digital Society Commission has made numerous recommendations and one of it includes the establishment of the Internet Commissioner in Germany.
