Subject: [Imc-communication] CAIRO IMC??

Hi imc-process and imc-communication (with a cc to
new-imc),

Just so imc-process and imc-communication are up to
date, there has been discussion on the new-imc list
over the last few hours about the possibility of
granting the Cairo IMC group a temporary site.  A
group in Cairo has been organizing to form an IMC for
a while, and recent world events are making the site a
serious necessity.  There is some concern about the
balance of Eqyptians vs. Western visitors in the
group, and there are a lot of questions to be answered
along those lines before having the Cairo group join
the network permanently, but there has been support
for quickly setting up a temporary site to cover
pressing events in Egypt.

Please check the new-imc list archives from the last
few hours for details.

Jay

>Hi all,
>
>With the war declared, it's becoming quite clear that ISPs and other
>holders and passers of electrons throughout the US (and probably  much
>of the world) are receiving various sorts of subpoenas, court  orders
>and warrants to collect and hold information.  about people  involved in
>the peace movement and other progressive organizing,  along with anyone
>with an Arabic sounding name or ties.
>
>If this concerns you, or the people you work with, a couple of thoughts:
>
>1) Are you using encryption when you can?  Are the people who you  work
>with?  Go to www.pgpi.org and download the program and find  someone to
>show you how to use it. It's not that hard and there are  plenty of
>folks on this list and elsewhere who can teach you.  If  you use
>Outlook, I've just been told that there is opportunistic  encryption
>built in if you know how to turn it on.  I'll send an EFF  hat to the
>first person who sends me an explanation of how to do it  that my
>grandfather could understand. I'll also make sure it gets  posted
>online. If you know how to use PGP, target 3 colleagues who  need it and
>teach them. Then use it with them so that they get
>well-practiced. And don't forget PGPDisk.  No one should cross a  border
>without her hard drive encrypted.  We worked hard to free  encryption
>from governmental censorship and control.  Please use it.
>
>2) For those of you that administer websites, e-mail systems and
>similar technologies, what information do you have about your users?  Do
>you need to have it?  Does your website gather IP addresses?
>Does your e-mail system keep log files? Are you keeping them?  If  so,
>why and for how long? Double checking the settings on your
>servers and systems.  The techies who write most of those programs  set
>the default to save everything. Do you really need that?  Most  good
>sysadmins are packrats by nature; but now is the time to fight  that
>urge to keep every scrap of data "just in case" someone wants  it later.
> That someone could be John Ashcroft.
>
>The US has NO data retention requirements. As long as you implement  a
>system of eliminating records as you go and stick to it, there's  no
>liability for you if the feds come to seize your server and
>there's nothing on it they can use.  Let's exercise this freedom NOT  to
>gather information for the government while we still have it.
>
>3) What footprints are you and your colleagues leaving when you
>travel around the Internet?  Think about using anonymizer.com or
>similar tool for your surfing.  It's easy.  Anonymizer.com offers a
>free account to EFF members, but whether you go through us or
>directly to them or through some other tool.
>
>I'm proud of the work the peace movement has done so far and the  good
>use it's made of new technologies to assist in organizing,
>planning, rallying and support. We've been watching the Ashcroftians
>closely, however, and it's clear that the war on terrorism and the  war
>on Iraq are being used as excuses to spy on the public and to  gather
>extensive dossiers about us. The peace movement is an obvious  target
>for harassment using this information.  Let's not make their  job any
>easier for them.

>And if you hear from law enforcement about your online activities,
