WHO: Orson Swindle, Commissioner, Federal Trade Commission Thomas Niles, President, U.S. Council for International Business Joseph Alhadeff, Vice President and Chief Privacy Officer, Oracle Corp. Sandra Wilson, Head of Public Affairs, OECD Washington Office WHEN: Wednesday, November 6, 2002 Media briefing begins at 11:15 a.m. WHERE: Morrison & Foerster offices 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Suite 5500, Washington, D.C. MEDIA: RSVP REQUIRED Contact: Jonathon Huneke, USCIB (212) 703-5043 or jhuneke@uscib.org The growth of the global Internet has created an interconnected world where security is only as strong as its weakest link. A recent Computer Security Institute/FBI survey found that 90 percent of practitioners polled had suffered security breaches within the previous 12 months, with 80 percent acknowledging financial loss due to the attacks. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which encompasses the 30 most advanced industrialized nations, recently updated its Guidelines for the Security of Information Systems and Networks to reflect the more interconnected nature of computer networks. This "call to action" is the next step in fostering an online "culture of security" among companies both large and small. Commissioner Swindle is head of the United States Delegation to the OECD Experts Group for Review of the 1992 OECD Guidelines for the Security of Information Systems and Networks. As an American affiliate of the leading international business and employers' organizations, USCIB provides business views to policy makers and regulatory authorities worldwide and works to facilitate international trade.

Schmidt Vice Chair, President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board ABSTRACT The current draft National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace was developed in close collaboration with key sectors of the economy that rely on cyberspace: state, and local governments, colleges and universities, and concerned organizations. Sector groups developed their own strategies to protect the parts of cyberspace on which they rely. Town hall meetings were held around the country, and fifty-three clusters of key questions were published to spark public debate. This unique partnership and process is necessary because the majority of the country's cyber resources are controlled by entities outside of government. For the Strategy to work, it must be a plan to which a broad cross-section of the country is committed, and must be dynamic and continually refreshed to adapt to the changing environment as technologies evolve. This presentation will discuss how America will continue to utilize and rely upon cyberspace and how the Federal government will seek a continuing broad partnership to develop, implement and refine the National Strategy. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF SPEAKER Howard A. Schmidt is a Special assistant to the President and the Vice Chair of the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board. This board assists a specialized group of senior government and private sector leaders in focusing on cyber security issues and coordination of security-related incidents. Previously, he was chief security officer for Microsoft, director of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) Computer Forensic Lab and Computer Crime and Information Warfare Division, with the Computer Exploitation Team at the FBI's National Drug Intelligence Center, and a city police officer in Chandler, Arizona.Mr. Schmidt has also served as the international president of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) and holds a bachelor's degree in business administration and a master's degree in organizational management. ===== ~ Washington Internet Project ~ ~ www.cybertelecom.org ~ ~ cannon(at)cybertelecom.org ~ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

But economic downturns, dwindling government support, and confusing technical choices make it very difficult for them to build and sustain local telecommunications resources. This year, challenge has grown into crisis. Though many underserved rural and urban areas still lack adequate connectivity, important assistance programs are being reduced and eliminated. Local leaders who want advanced telecommunications for their communities are being forced to plan without the accurate, objective information, guidance and support they need and deserve. The 2002 National Community Networking Conference brings the world's leading community networking experts to assist communities in developing successful local technology programs. Government officials and industry leaders join the world's most experienced community network professionals to present key information and assistance for community technology planners. Organized and presented by the TeleCommunity Resource Center (TCRC) and Association for Community Networking (AFCN) this "How To" conference clearly explains rapidly changing technologies, policies, projects and services in simple terms for beginners and veterans alike. Conference presentations and practical, interactive workshops will include expert guidance on: * Obtaining affordable broadband access for your entire community * Sustaining Community Networks in the current difficult economy * New (and surprising) sources for funding and support * Economic development; workforce skills and employment * Improved Educational Opportunity for people of all ages * New techniques for TeleHealth and Telemedicine * E-commerce and Internet tools to assist local businesses * Internet access to "E-government" information and services * Outreach: including the entire community in the Internet * Public Access more times, more terminals * Serving diverse languages and cultural heritage * Overcoming challenges of disability in Internet access * City and County Government leadership online * Special interest initiatives: Faith-based, seniors, neighborhoods * Increasing Information Age opportunities for everyone in your community Conference hosts include: TeleCommunity Resource Center Association for Community Networking Texas Office of Rural Community Affairs Texas Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund Board University of Texas Telecommunications & Information Policy Institute.

(AT&T) filed a Petition for Declaratory Ruling that AT&T's Phone-to-Phone IP Telephony Services are Exempt from Access Charges. AT&T states that, currently, it provides phone-to-phone enhanced voice prepaid card services as well as basic phone-to-phone Internet protocol (IP) telephony services. AT&T explains that, in contrast to calls transmitted over private interexchange networks that use Internet protocol, AT&T's services are transmitted over the same "common" Internet backbone facilities that carry Internet service provider (ISP) and all other types of public Internet traffic. According to AT&T, incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) are attempting to impose access charges on AT&T's phone-to-phone IP telephony services by: (1) refusing to provision end user services to terminate AT&T's phone-to-phone IP telephony services; (2) refusing to complete phone-to-phone IP telephony calls over facilities that have been provisioned; and (3) assessing interstate access charges on phone-to-phone IP telephony calls from other states that are terminated through CLEC and ILEC reciprocal compensation trunks. AT&T asserts that these efforts to impose access charges on AT&T's phone-to-phone IP telephony services violate the congressional mandate to preserve a competitive free market for the Internet and the Commission's policy of exempting all VoIP services from access charges pending the future adoption of regulations on this subject. AT&T asks that the Commission issue a declaratory ruling that providers of VoIP services carried over the Internet are entitled to subscribe to local services and are exempt from interstate access charges unless and until the Commission adopts regulations that prospectively provide otherwise. We seek comment on AT&T's petition for declaratory ruling. Pursuant to sections 1.415 and 1.419 of the Commission's rules, interested parties may file comments no later than December 18, 2002. Interested parties may file reply comments no later than January 7, 2003. All responsive filings must reference the docket number of this proceeding, WC Docket No. 02-361. Comments and reply comments may be filed using the Commission's Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) or by filing paper copies. Comments and reply comments filed through the ECFS can be sent as an electronic file via the Internet to http://www.fcc.gov/e-file/ecfs.html. Generally, only one copy of an electronic submission must be filed. If multiple docket or rulemaking numbers appear in the caption of this proceeding, however, commenters must transmit one electronic copy of the filing to each docket or rulemaking number referenced in the caption. In completing the transmittal screen, commenters should include their full name, Postal Service mailing address, and the applicable docket or rulemaking number. Parties may also submit an electronic copy by Internet e-mail. To get filing instructions for e-mail comments, commenters should send an e-mail to ecfs@fcc.gov, and should include the following words in the body of the message: "get form ." A sample form and directions will be sent in reply. Commenters also may obtain a copy of the ASCII Electronic Transmittal Form (FORM-ET) at http://www.fcc.gov/e-file/email.html. . . . . .

S/MIME is based upon the widely used MIME standard [MIME] and describes a protocol for adding cryptographic security services through MIME encapsulation of digitally signed and encrypted objects. The basic security services offered by S/MIME are authentication, non-repudiation of origin, message integrity, and message privacy. Optional security services include signed receipts, security labels, secure mailing lists, and an extended method of identifying the signer's certificate(s). S/MIME adds features to e-mail messaging including privacy (using encryption), authentication of sending party (using digital signatures), integrity (non-alteration of messages), etc. S/MIME V3 is the latest version of S/MIME and is supported in whole or part by several vendors with "Commercial-Off-The-Shelf" (COTS) products. Because S/MIME still uses the same extant Internet e-mail technology that has been widely deployed for many years, it is not necessary to modify or replace e-mail "servers" to accommodate S/MIME. Rather S/MIME functionality may be added to e-mail "client" software. By not disturbing the underlying e-mail server/message transfer system, S/MIME allows gradual migration from non-secure to secure e-mail messaging, rather than requiring a large, possibly abrupt change in technology. ===== ~ Washington Internet Project ~ ~ www.cybertelecom.org ~ ~ cannon(at)cybertelecom.org ~ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
