Do we need a Unified Post Transition IANA?: by Pranesh Prakash, Padmini Baruah and Jyoti Panday — published Oct 23, 2015 — last modified Oct 27, 2015 12:46 AM — filed under: IANA, Internet Governance, IANA Transition
As we stand at the threshold of the IANA Transition, we at CIS find that there has been little discussion on the question of how the transition will manifest. The question we wanted to raise was whether there is any merit in dividing the three IANA functions – names, numbers and protocols – given that there is no real technical stability to be gained from a unified Post Transition IANA. The analysis of this idea has been detailed below.

Does the Government want to enter our homes?: by Sunil Abraham — published Aug 13, 2010 — last modified Mar 21, 2012 10:12 AM — filed under: Internet Governance

In an article published in the Pune Mirror on 10 August, 2010, Sunil Abraham examines this in light of the BlackBerry-to-BlackBerry messenger service that the Government of India plans to block if its makers do not allow the monitoring of messages. He says that civil society should rather resist and insist on suitable checks and balances like governmental transparency and a fair judicial oversight instead of allowing the government to intrude into the privacy and civil liberties of its citizens.
