Wassenaar Arrangement
Has anyone had any luck finding the actual text of the Wassenaar Arrangement? The Arms Control & Disarmament Agency has a summary/factsheet available on its web site (mirrored, I believe, on JYA's web site) but I haven't been able to find a copy of the actual text. I spoke with someone this morning at the ACDA who said that the actual text "has not been released by our government" and that to his knowledge it had not been publicly released by any government. I'm faxing a FOIA request to their legal folks this morning (talked to someone in their general counsel's office who said he wasn't sure if it was available via FOIA or not) but I suspect I won't get it. Has anyone actually seen the text of the thing? -- Greg Broiles | US crypto export control policy in a nutshell: gbroiles@netbox.com | http://www.io.com/~gbroiles | Export jobs, not crypto. |
Here's a ref Peter Gutmann provided on Wassenaar: http://www.sipri.se/projects/armstrade/wass_initialelements.html No mention of crypto, probably because appendix 5 is missing: : Appendix 5 : : SIPRI NOTE: Appendix 5 consists of a List of Dual-Use Goods and : Technologies and a Munitions List. These documents will be appended : once obtained.

There is my hand writting memo of (a part of, not full) appendix 5. If no one say URLs for appendix 5, I will upload it here. ///hayashi
I've asked a friend at the State Department to send me a copy of the Arrangement. I'll forward it if it appears in my inbox. I also talked a little about the Wassenaar Arrangement, or at least Japan's interpretation of it, in a Netly article in late October.

Oh, Lucky. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

"The Wassenaar Arrangement" ... really sounds like the title of a bad Robert Ludlum novel rather than a "respectable" document a "respectable" government would sign, much less a quasi-treaty that they want to pretend has legal force... # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts@ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp # (If this is a mailing list, please Cc: me on replies.
