Wassenaar Addendum
Caspar Bowden in the UK says by telephone that a Wassenaar
spokesman told him today that the WA org will issue next week a
detailed "template" which specifies terms of the recent agreement
to control encryption.
It will go well beyond what has been heretofore generally agreed to
by the member states under which there was a good bit of latitude
for each to determine its own policy. This is an unprecedented united
front by the members, and the paper will be a first for detailed export
controls issued by the Wassenaar org rather than by each nation.
When ready it will be put on the Wassenaar Web site:
http://www.wassenaar.org.
We've made a request to DoC for elaboration of the press release
yesterday which featured David Aarons' general claims, but no
response yet. The USG may not comment until the WA paper is
issued.
