CPSR NORBERT WIENER AWARD WINNERS CONCERNED ABOUT SCIENCE FUNDING
Karl Auerbach, Brian Behlendorf, Laura Gould, Dan McCracken, Peter G. Neumann, Severo Ornstein, Theodore A. Postol, Eric S. Raymond, Marc Rotenberg, Barbara Simons, Richard M. Stallman, Barry Steinhardt, Joseph Weizenbaum, and Philip Zimmermann wrote an open letter to express their concern about the significant redirection in science funding toward the development of systems of mass surveillance. It is their view that this research priority could pose a fundamental risk to political freedom, privacy, and Constitutional liberty.
"Research must begin in the area of privacy and security. Too much money is spent today on systems of mass surveillance; too little is spent on understanding the social consequences.
We call on the National Science Foundation, DARPA, the Department of Homeland Security and other relevant agencies to determine whether adequate safeguards are being developed to protect the civil rights of the populations who will ultimately become the human subjects for the deployment of these systems.
We call on the Congress to set aside funds to allow for a candid and independent assessment of the ethical, legal, and social implications of this technology.
The American public has repeatedly made clear that it does not support the establishment of vast systems of public surveillance. Yet our science agencies and many of our top researches are now pursuing precisely this mission.
We believe this must change."

CPSR SIGNED ONTO DECLARATION ON THE FUTURE OF WIPO
CPSR signed onto a very important and well thought out initiative from the governments of Argentina and Brazil, in collaboration with civil society organizations (a growing trend in The World Intellectual Property Organisation - WIPO), to try to democratize the global governance of intellectual property (IP) and redirect WIPO's mission toward the United Nations Charter under which it is supposed to operate.
See 'Proposal for the Establishment of a Development Agenda for WIPO', for discussion at the WIPO General Assembly on Sep 27-Oct 2, 2004 at http://www.wipo.int/documents/en/document/govbody/
wo_gb_ga/pdf/wo_ga_31_11.pdf and The 'Geneva Declaration on the Future of WIPO' at http://www.cptech.org/ip/wipo/genevadeclaration.html
The Declaration was quickly followed by the Assembly at the general session of the WIPO in Geneva adopting a decision to put development and the promotion of creativity front-and-center in its goals. See http://www.boingboing.net/2004/10/04/massive_victory_at_w.html

ELECTION PROJECT
CPSR is pleased to report that there were 38,061 U.S. 2004 election incident reports using the phone hotline and web-based tracking tool for inquiries and problems. The Election Incident Reporting System developed by CPSR, Verified Voting Foundation, and the Election Protection Coalition helped thousands of people in real-time to be able to vote and have their votes counted as intended, and will help with future litigation and policymaking. See https://voteprotect.org/index.php?display=EIRMapNation
More incidents were reported, and still can be added, using the online form at http://voteproblem.org
Thousands of technologists volunteered for TechWatch to apply technical expertise to mind the polls in a way that most pollwatchers cannot. See http://verifiedvoting.org/techwatch/

Election 2004 E-Voting Incidents from the Election Incident Reporting System (EIRS)
Reported by Verified Voting Foundation on November 18th at http://verifiedvoting.org/article.php?id=5321
Summary:
Press from as far away as Punjab, India, reported on CPSR's role in the Election Incident Reporting System. Erik Nilsson spoke with Consumer Reports, Scripps News and many others about CPSR's involvement with EIRS. Some examples of press and blog coverage are "Sidebar: Skeptics Create System to Monitor E-voting" at http://www.computerworld.com/securitytopics/security/
hacking/story/0,10801,96858,00.html "E-Voting skeptics use Web to monitor election." See http://www.itworld.com/Tech/2987/041020evoteskeptics/
"Nonpartisan Coalition Moves to protect black voters" http://www.knoxstudio.com/shns/
story.cfm?pk=CAMPAIGN-BLACKS-09-23-04&cat=AN
Paul Hyland represented CPSR at a press conference in Washington, DC on November 3rd. Official speakers included Peter Neumann, Doug Jones, Jamin Raskin, Lillie Coney, and Marc Rotenberg.
Paul briefly mentioned CPSR's history of skepticism toward computerized voting technology, our serious doubts about the accuracy, reliability and security of touch-screen voting machines and the need for at least a voter verified paper ballot if we are going to use them. Paul spent most of his time talking about EIRS and TechWatch - gave the web addresses, and described how EIRS is a resource that is available after the elections for researchers and journalists to study incidents and report on them.
Paul was also interviewed by the National Journal Tech Daily after the press conference.
***
Some of the CPSR members who put in many volunteer hours in leadership positions on the Election Incident Reporting System included: C. Scott Ananian, Jacob Applebaum, Patricia Ensworth, Steve Enzer, James Hiebert, David Kerlick, Geoffrey Kuenning, Gregory Marks, John McCarthy, and Alec Wysoker. Many thanks.
Linda Hinton, CPSR member, volunteered for TechWatch and wrote that she "was honored to serve our country and CPSR, watching our national elections with Election Protection, for three days, November 1-3, on site at the Center for National Supercomptuing Applications in Arlington, VA. providing application/laptop tech support to the hotline call receivers from the entire country. . . I enjoyed the comraderie, team work, meeting new people who were very innovative in a high pressure situation. I loved the experience."

UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY GENERAL APPOINTS CPSR PRESIDENT TO WORKING GROUP ON INTERNET GOVERNANCE
United Nations Secretary Kofi Annan has selected forty people from government, business, and civil society organizations to participate in his United Nations Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG). The WGIG will be chaired by Mr. Nitin Desai, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs. The group's objectives are to organize an open dialogue on Internet Governance, produce a report by the summer of 2005, and to propose recommendations to the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). CPSR President William Drake was among those appointed to the WGIG (the press release incorrectly identifies him as CPSR's Chairman). Drake was nominated for the position by the WSIS civil society coalition and its Internet Governance Caucus. The UN press release, including a full list of WGIG participants, is available at http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2004/pi1620.doc.htm . The WGIG's website is at http://www.wgig.org
