Internet for Public Ownership
by Glenn McKnight June 30, 2023

June 30, 2023

Hi Folks Sharing the interview with Prof. Ben Tarnoff on the privatization of the Internet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0euZ9iGGqI His book is Internet for the People: The Fight for Our Digital Future out now: https://www.versobooks.com/books/3927. <https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLU…> It's interesting that a group is working on the 25th anniversary of ICANN and the focus is interviews of Board members and past CEO's this is odd given the public view of multistakeholderism. No mention of other players in the creation of ICANN.

Concerns over DNS Blocking by the French Republic
by Caleb Olumuyiwa Ogundele June 27, 2023

June 27, 2023

Dear NPOC Members, This is not a public comment or call for one but concern about a draft bill by the French Government on DNS Blocking. https://medium.com/@vgcerf/concerns-over-dns-blocking-988ef546a100 Vint Cerf as we know wrote a medium post <https://medium.com/@vgcerf/concerns-over-dns-blocking-988ef546a100>about this and it will be nice for some of our members to keep tabs and share their experiences. As we know, laws passed in a European territory can have a spiral effect and could be adopted by other EU countries. Just in case we need strong compelling reasons about why we need to keep tabs, here is NPOC's mission: *NPOC focuses on the impact of DNS policies and their effects on the operational readiness and implementation of non-commercial missions and objectives. NPOC members rely on the Internet and DNS policies to provide valuable services to their communities.* https://npoc.org/what-does-npoc-do/ Regards Caleb -- *Caleb Ogundele* Email: muyiwacaleb(a)gmail.com
