Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)
In light of recent developments, such as todays wikipedia blackout protest, a renewed call has been made by ETDA management for volunteers to join one of the related IDCAS interest groups or task forces.
We are reaching an important milestone in the development of internet usage throughout the world. It is crucial that the community, as a whole, has a say in how internet services are provided to them in the near future. As such we are requesting that all interested parties join a related IDCAS communications/technology task force immediately, so as to share their views on this matter.

Call for Technology Task Force Applications
A renewed call has been made by ETDA management today for volunteers to join IDCAS technology-based task forces.
We are reaching an important milestone in the development of internet usage throughout the world. It is crucial that the community, as a whole, has a say in how internet services are provided to them in the near future. As such we are requesting that all interested parties join an IDCAS communications/technology task force immediately, so as to share their views on this matter.
Within less than ten years it could be possible that the internet will appear as a vastly different environment to what it is now.
With continual tightening of regional laws, a separation of local users from the global community is a likely scenario to occur. Equally troubling is the increase in cost for service provision such as in the case of DNS, potentially leading to discrimination against financially less well off users.
