Date: Wed, May 7, 2014 at 7:15 AM<br>Subject: [13 Principles] The Snowden report: 14 countries sorted - at least 25 to go. We stil need help!<br>To: <a href="mailto:principles@eff.org" target="_blank">principles@eff.org</a><br>
<br><br>Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I'm delighted to say that we now have authors for brief reports on Brazil,<br>
Canada, France, Ireland, the EU, Netherlands, Turkey, United States,<br>
Pakistan, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Denmark and Spain. We still have a long<br>
way to go before this is a global report though. Any volunteers for the<br>
man countries that remain?<br>
<br>
We're only looking for 300-500 words. Guidelines are below if anyone else<br>
is interested in taking this on.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Snowden disclosures - the global impact one year on<br>
<br>
General information and guidelines for reports<br>
<br>
OVERVIEW<br>
<br>
June 5th is the first anniversary of the beginning of the Edward Snowden<br>
disclosures. This date will be an opportunity to review precisely what<br>
impact the subsequent exposure has triggered and what lessons we can learn<br>
as we move forward on the reform agenda.<br>
<br>
To coincide with this anniversary, the Privacy Surgeon is planning to<br>
publish a major feature on the consequences and impact of the key<br>
developments of the past year. One primary aim is to provide media,<br>
campaigners, opinion leaders and the public with a reliable source that<br>
presents the facts in a comparative format. For civil society and for<br>
those people wanting to pursue an agenda of reform, such a resource will<br>
be extremely valuable.<br>
<br>
We anticipate that the work will be published in association with key<br>
organisations, primarily in the civil society sector.<br>
<br>
The project will comprise at least two or three dozen national, sectoral<br>
and regional reports together with a summary and analysis. Each report<br>
will be no more than 300 - 500 words and will describe concrete,<br>
measurable outcomes rather than presenting opinion. In this sense it is<br>
more valuable to report outcomes than mere activity.<br>
<br>
This will mean not just mentioning, for example, that an inquiry was<br>
conducted or a parliamentary debate held, but whether something tangible<br>
has been implemented as a result. Most commentators have hardly a clue<br>
what's transpired in most of the world's countries in the past year. We<br>
hear much opinion, but relatively little facts or evidence.<br>
<br>
The aim is to get this report out on mass distribution to media a week in<br>
advance.<br>
<br>
Importantly, it doesn't matter if nothing concrete has emerged within a<br>
particular sector or country, It's important to communicate that there has<br>
been no activity. As a spoiler, it appears that most countries have seen<br>
no tangible activity or reform.<br>
<br>
WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACHIEVE?<br>
<br>
Three outcomes:<br>
<br>
1. Outside of the US, have there been any concrete reforms undertaken by<br>
governments or other organisations?<br>
<br>
2. In terms of the activity over the past year, what patterns and common<br>
themes, if any, can we deduce?<br>
<br>
3. From this evidence, what lessons can we learn about how to take the<br>
reform agenda forward over the coming years?<br>
<br>
PROJECT COMPONENTS<br>
<br>
The project will comprise the following:<br>
<br>
- reports for the majority of EU countries.<br>
- reports on all 5-eyes countries<br>
- reports from selected African, South American and Asian nations<br>
- a global report on IGO actions (e.g. the UN surveillance resolution)<br>
- a global report on NGO actions<br>
- a global report on industry actions (adoption of encryption etc)<br>
- a specific report on reforms (if any) within the security sector<br>
- summary and analysis<br>
<br>
COMPONENTS OF COUNTRY REPORTS<br>
<br>
Each report should aim to provide the following elements, ideally in less<br>
than 500 words (though if more content is required this will be OK). It's<br>
not essential to go into detail on, say, a legal challenge or legislative<br>
reform. An introductory sentence or two and a link to the relevant<br>
background resource is sufficient.<br>
<br>
Please do try to include the following:<br>
<br>
- An introductory paragraph describing the overall impact of the revelations.<br>
<br>
- A paragraph that describes the scale and nature of media reporting (was<br>
the reporting investigative, did it address local/national involvement in<br>
surveillance or was it primarily focused on the US and the NSA as a single<br>
entity).<br>
<br>
- Was there any consequent public action in the manner of demonstrations<br>
or large-scale campaigns that had a measurable impact?<br>
<br>
- What was the action taken, if any, by parliament? Were any formal<br>
inquiries or investigations initiated? Any debates, votes or resolutions?<br>
Did anything emerge from this activity in terms of legislative or other<br>
reforms?<br>
<br>
- What cases, if any, have been brought before courts, police or judicial<br>
authorities? Have these resulted in any tangible outcome?<br>
<br>
- Is there any hard evidence or concrete indication that there will be a<br>
future development that will bring reform or transparency to the security<br>
arena?<br>
<br>
- To your knowledge, have any national organisations, trades unions,<br>
professional associations or industry groups taken concrete actions of any<br>
kind in response to the disclosures?<br>
<br>
Please do feel free to add any other material that you think is relevant,<br>
as long as it focuses on measurable outcomes and tangible reforms (if such<br>
exists).<br>
<br>
FORMAT OF REPORTS<br>
<br>
For consistency, the style of reports should be objective and reportive.<br>
Please do keep in mind that we're aiming here for a wide audience that may<br>
not be literate in technology or law, so please do explain various terms<br>
and acronyms that you might use.<br>
<br>
In terms of format, I'd be very grateful if you could use a text file like<br>
.rtf or something simple like that, though Word would still be OK. As I'll<br>
have to format this work for the website it's probably best to use<br>
end-notes like <a href="http://www.saidsimple.com/content/How-to-Write-End-Notes" target="_blank">http://www.saidsimple.com/content/How-to-Write-End-Notes</a><br>
and in this case that would mean indicating what you want to reference in<br>
numbered brackets like (3) and then putting the reference and url at the<br>
end of the text, rather than using conventional footnotes.<br>
<br>
The default language for the project is English, but it would be extremely<br>
beneficial if you could also supply text in the native language. This will<br>
help ensure that the project dissemination is truly global and not just<br>
confined to the Anglo-American press.<br>
<br>
Could you also include a biography of no more than fifty words that we can<br>
include in the text itself, and - if you want - a link to your website or<br>
other source about you.<br>
