The core internet values of openness, privacy and security of personal information were compromised by the United States Oligarchy when it began secretly bulk collecting data and setting up a net of surveillance of all American citizens and those of its NATO allies, setting a bad NKVD-esque example for the entire world. Leadership is about setting a good example, not a bad example. The United States stopped setting good examples when it became an Oligarchy in 1976, via supreme court decision Buckley v Valeo which allowed politicians to be bought by corporate lobbyists. Since that embarassing year, the U.S. has been no different than the wild west, with laws only applying to poor people, and the core values of the internet have yet to be realized even for a single moment.

Dear Joly Thank you for locating the Remote Participation registration link. This year, there appears to be a somewhat complex process for Remote Participation and the WebEx rooms require a password. Would be helpful if Chapters and ALSs pay attention and participate
in this session. The discussions could progress towards an outcome very useful for the Internet. You have always been kind to take charge of Remote Participation, and just as you have always webcasted and archived several ISOC events, you have attended to the previous meetings and events of this Coalition. Hope you would tune in and manage this session as well. Thank you. On Tue, Nov 10, 2015 at 1:15 AM, Joly MacFie <joly@punkcast.com> wrote:
