Dear SwiNOGers,
You may have heard of it (or maybe you joined it); a few weeks ago SwiNOG Org made a special SwiNOG event about lawful intercept. During that event I made an anonymous survey and I was really amazed by some of the results. I'll make it quick; 95% of the audience would like to see the creation of an ISP association (umbrella organisation) representing them towards different authorities and/or towards justice (like the DNS blocking case). During that event I promised the audience that I will personally initiate that process.

I have created a wiki that will allow the following points, needed for the foundation assembly, to be organised:
- Organisation of the location / infrastructure - Writing of the Statutes - Name proposals - Committee candidates
All points need to be fully completed in order to organise a consistent foundation assembly.

How do you proceed to help?
Worker:
1) Go to the wiki and create an account. http://www.ispnet.ch 2) Drop me an email with your company name and I will give your account access to the restricted area. 3) Fetch a coffee, red bull or whatever activates your brain and start to help.
Internal Lobbyist:
1) Go to your management, talk to them about our issues (new laws, lawful intercept, representation at BAKOM/OFCOM/ÜPF) and how an association could help (need more information? ask me!) 2) Let me know, per email, if you think your company will participate; so we can make a possible list of SMEs willing to be founding members.

Lets get to the work! I really expect to be able to have the founding assembly before mid of december. All this preparation work can be done within 2 weeks!
Really, again, lets get to the work!
Sincerely, Pascal Gloor President @ SwiNOG Organisation
