UN discusses spam
The United Nations (UN) Working Group on Internet Governance focuses on spam, network security and cybercrime
The United Nations (UN) has revealed that discussion at the
third meeting of its Working Group on Internet Governance
focused on spam, network security and cybercrime.
The consensus among participants was that, although the topic of
spam is not yet officially on the international agenda, it must
be discussed as a matter of priority. The question of how to
deal with spam and protect the Internet was discussed, with
emphasis on the need for a multifaceted and multi-layered
approach.
A number of proposals were put forward, ranging
from drafting model legislation to more informal models of
collaboration. The Working Group will put together a report
‘for consideration and appropriate action’ which will be
submitted to the UN Secretary General in July 2005 ahead
of the second phase of the World Summit on the
Information Society (WSIS), which takes place in November.
