Hello all,

We recently learned that the Home Office has launched a consultation 
on the Investigatory Powers Act 
 
preceding planned revisions.


Both the Internet Society global and its UK Chapter are particularly 
concerned by certain elements of this including that compliance with 
technical capability notices is required even during the appeal 
process and that operators would need to notify authorities before 
making technical changes that would “impact existing IPA 
capabilities”, which to us sounds like steps towards a 
permission-based approach.


Back in 2016 the UK Chapter of the Internet Society joined other 
organisations to alert the government about the threat to 
permissionless innovation in several parts of the Bill (sadly to no 
avail). Now that there is a consultation, which unfortunately is 
happening in the middle of the summer, I wonder how many people have 
seen it.


The*_deadline for submission is Monday at 11am. _*This means that we 
are working with an incredibly tight timeline.


Is this consultation something that's been on your organisation's 
radar? If so, what is your take on the consultation and if you 
responded, would you mind sharing your response?


Kindest regards,

Olivier Crépin-Leblond
