July 8, 2015

Dear At-Large Community Members, Please find attached ApTI's comment regarding ICANN's WHOIS privacy/proxy services proposal. We believe the new policy presents a serious danger to freedom of speech, privacy and to the rule of law on the Internet and we urge ICANN not to adopt this proposal. We are also working on publishing a summary of our comment. The public comment period is open until *7 Jul 2015 23:59 UTC. <http://http://www.timeanddate.com/time/aboututc.html>* Thank you, Valentina Pavel Asociația pentru Tehnologie și Internet - ApTI privacy.apti.ro <http://www.privacy.apti.ro> & apti.ro

Dear all, this is just to inform you that one of our long-term members, Rena Tangens representing our German ALS DigitalCourage, was recently awarded with the federal consumer protection prize (Bundespreis Verbraucherschutz) for her stiff opposition to the reinstalement of data retention in Germany. BTW, Rena is also known as the "mother" of the annual Big Brother Award (launched in the year 2000) highlighting worst cases of data abuse ...
