December 1996
Fulltext publication of the revised draft OECD "Working document for 16-20 December 1996 Meeting” of the “Ad hoc Group of Experts on Crypotography Policy  to "simplify communications amongst the experts" one day before they met. As we  learnt much later, both publication efforts had met some international response on the mere diplomatic level.

October 1996
Campaign against truly hilarious net regulation proposals in Austria. The proposals were dropped later for obvius reasons.

September 1996
First fulltext publication of the draft OECD proposals on crypto regulation worldwide.

Summer 1996
Amongst the 19 founding members of the Global Internet Liberty Campaign  is quintessenz, an e-zine at that time.

June 1996
Supporting Jon Katz's Geek Force Effort against Janet Reno's cybercop proposals with a virtual european ammunition dump.

From March 1996
When the net turned black [quintessenz already was] weekly coverage both of domestic telecom-wiretapping or censorship proposals and foreign ones e.g. the Communications Decency Amendment in the United States started and has been kept up since then.
