- Could someone please direct me towards a reference for UUNET's formal
- policy? My specific questions: What is it? How was it settled upon?
-
- A related question, one that I have been wondering since Jurgen Botz
- started this thread (in a marvelously coherent and rational manner,
- by the way): the Electronic Frontier Foundation has (I believe) as one
- of it's goals the development and promotion of a "sensible" (my word,
- not theirs) public policy towards computer communication. Can someone
- comment on their progress towards developing well-stated principles
- that would form such a policy? Does UUNET's policy relate to the
- EFF's work in any way?
-
- These questions are probably not well suited for discussion on this
- group, so email replies are appreciated. I will of course summarize
- responses and post if appropriate.
