Hi list, Nick from techPresident here. If I could tap into your hive-mind intelligence for a moment to help me be more precise about explaining why this is an issue, I would appreciate it ... Governments, intelligence organizations and assorted nogoodniks already use deep-packet inspection, so the declaration of a standard for DPI comes off as vaguely Orwellian but not news. I'm searching for a way to explain the privacy-advocate position on this is both accurately and concisely. The sense I get from CDT's blog post is that there are three reasons why this is more than just creepy in principle: 1. The standard outlines ways that, in the ITU's view, ISPs should structure their operations so that highly invasive surveillance can function; 2. Under current governance, this standard could be as widely ignored as the <blink> tag, but ISPs could be forced to comply if the ITU becomes a must-follow standards-making body for the Internet b meaning all traffic in every ITU member state, in this extreme example, would be vulnerable by design; 3. On principle, IETF and W3C don't address standards for surveillance, highlighting another way the ITU is ideologically removed from the way the Internet is now governed. Am I on target here?

The final version of the standard should show up here... eventually:

dsinc sends this quote from Techdirt about the International Telecommunications Union's ongoing conference in Dubai that will have an effect on the internet everywhere: The WCIT is a "diplomatic conference" for the rules governing the ITU,

Anyway, interesting discussions over at circleid.com: http://www.circleid.com/posts/20121203_wcit_off_to_a_flying_start/ Apparently ITU fellows are disgruntled that they cannot control the media coverage and complain about all the "misinformation".
