Weltweites Echo: Wassenaar Campaign 
 
Die Aktion der Global Internet Liberty Campaign zieht weite 
Kreise.  Dazu hat sich das kanadische Aussenministerium zu 
Wort gemeldet (c below) & erklärt, dass man dazu beitragen 
werde, die Paragraphen des Vertrags in puncto Kryptographie 
zu modernisieren. 
Die Experten werden in Wien bis Ende nächster Woche tagen. 
 
Telepolis hat nicht nur eine grosse Story, sondern auch die 
Wassenaar/Erklärung Volltext ins Netz gestellt.

Thank you for taking the time to communicate your views to 
us. 
I can assure you that the issues you mention will likely all 
be 
raised at some point in the proceedings, from various 
perspectives, 
by various parties.  Canada's position will be a balanced 
one, 
ensuring that the goals of exporters and privacy advocates 
are 
given equal weight to those of law enforcement and national 
security. 
You have already noted that Wassenaar came into being to 
protect 
national and regional security and stability, and to ensure 
that 
cryptography is not used by inappropriate end-users, for 
inappropriate 
applications, to destabilize security (including violent or 
commerciel 
crime) and peace.  But since our "clients" are the exporters 
of 
cryptography, we are always mindful of matters that related 
to an 
international level playing field, fairness and 
transparency, and 
the application of cryptography for peaceful commercial 
purposes 
related to protecting ones own organization against computer 
crime. 
Of course, as only one of 33 members, Canada will be part of 
a larger 
consensus-building process aimed at modernizing the current 
control 
agreements. Once again, thank-you for your input.
