L'annonce vient de tomber. Marius Kummer passe à l'ISOC. L'incertitude était entre Diplo, Google et Unicode, l'ICANN ayant déjà Bachollet à digérer.

Il y traitera les sujets de l'emprivation (secret de la vie privée) et de la privacy (protection de l'information des commerciaux sur les personnes privées), de la sécurité cybernétique, de la neutralité des réseau. Il prend ses fonctions le 1er Février. Nous avons peu à peu une organisation générale du réseau (interne: IETF, financement : les Platinum et Golden Members, application web: W3C, maintenant entregent politique) par cette organisation à qui il ne manque plus que l'ICANN.

Il est intéressant que cette organisation a mis en place une position d'accueil qui pourrait convenir aux IUsers (Global Members, ou Sustaining Member si vous payez $ 75 par an), sauf que ... ils n'ont pas de représentant au Board of Trustees. Une approche qui serait comparable à celle de l'ICANN vis à vis des @larges ?

Il existe toutefois une amicale des membres et anciens membres de l'ISOC France (sans aucune relation avec l'ISOC). Vous la trouverez introduite et référencée sous http://wiki.isoc.fr/index.php/Amicale_des_Membres_fran%C3%A7ais_de_l%27ISOC

GLOBAL INTERNET COMMUNITY LEADER JOINS INTERNET SOCIETY AS VP FOR PUBLIC POLICY

Markus Kummer takes on leadership role for global, regional and national Internet issues

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND and RESTON, VIRGINIA, USA - 19 January 2011 - An internationally recognized leader in a broad range of Internet policy issues will join the Internet Society as head of its public policy department. As the Internet Society's Vice President of Public Policy, Markus Kummer will advance key Internet Society policy positions on issues such as privacy, cybersecurity, and network neutrality. Most recently the Executive Coordinator of the Secretariat supporting the United Nations' Internet Governance Forum, Kummer has extensive experience with Internet policy at the global, regional, and national levels.

"Markus' broad experience with and deep understanding of the key policy issues facing the Internet will help ensure the Internet Society has an even greater impact on issues critical to the Internet's continued evolution as an open platform for innovation and economic development," said Lynn St.Amour, the Internet Society's President and CEO.

Before joining the United Nations in 2004, Kummer held the position of eEnvoy for the Swiss Foreign Ministry in Berne. Mr. Kummer was a member of the Swiss delegation during the first phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) where he chaired several negotiating groups, including the group on Internet governance. He went on to serve as the Executive Coordinator of the WSIS Working Group on Internet Governance from 2004 to 2005. Before his involvement with the WSIS, he served as a career diplomat in several functions in the Swiss Foreign Ministry and was posted in Lisbon, Vienna, Oslo, Geneva, and Ankara.

"In joining the Internet Society, I look forward to advancing the multistakeholder approach to policy that has been so central to the Internet's development and is even more critical to its future," said Markus Kummer, who will officially take up his position on 1 February 2011. "With its technical roots, the Internet Society is already established as a uniquely credible leader on policy issues, and a key contributor to policy discussions at the national, regional, and global levels."

The Internet Society is the world's trusted independent source of leadership on Internet issues. The Internet Society works with its tens of thousands of Members and nearly 100 Chapters around the world to promote the continued evolution and growth of the open global Internet.
