<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Hey all,</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">I’d like to know from the different industry groups and consumer advocate groups that represent us, what their progress/plans are for stopping the governments ISP Filtering proposal.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">EFA, IIA, ISOC.AU, etc etc</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">I know that the EFA has nocleanfeed.com, but I’d like to know about the others efforts.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">The EFA is suggesting people join so they have more money to do stuff… I’d like to know ‘what’ stuff… if they had the money, what would/could they do with it?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">I’d also like to know what these and other groups are actually doing other than websites… because I don’t think a website will do much at all to rally people to do something.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">I am not saying I have any better suggestions… I am simply bringing this discussion up so we can maybe come up with something that might make them listen?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">Perhaps something like ‘No Internet Hour’ – where every ISP involved turns off the internet for all their consumer customers for an hour, or diverts them to a page which explains what is happening. While I realise that most ISP’s are commercial entities and some wouldn’t have the guts, it would certainly raise some awareness.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">Perhaps we do our own filtering protest and send all .gov.au websites to page which explains the situation for a few days or a week.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">Just some discussion points, because in this day and age, most people sit on their ass, do nothing, and governments do whatever the hell they like.</FONT></SPAN></P>
