IP: ASEAN statement on Net censorship (fwd)

Dave: For IP if you like.


This has been anonymized, since I'm not sure whether the org that sent 
this originally wants it known publicly what they plan to write before it's 
written. I forward it both for the possible news value, and also because 
EFF would very, very much like to see the text of this in English, and, I 
suppose, for archival purposes in VISCII or any of the other native 
languages and character encodings. Non-English versions if anyone has 
them online should be sent via MIME so our mail system doesn't mangle them.


Forwarded message:


      On September 4, the ASEAN nations (Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, 
      Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam) agreed to "police the 
      Internet and block off sites that run counter to Asian values."

      [a rights/liberties group] plans to write a protest letter, but we 
      don't have a copy of the statement. 
      
      Does anyone else have it?
