Gadi, Andrea,<br>before making policy-makers completely aware of deep dependance from (and criticities of) internet infrastructure, can we think of a way of double controlling CII?<br>I mean: we cannot have an ideal opinion of policy-makers as people employed for the benefit of community.<br>
As citizen, I would like to have (or third party to have) a way to control their operations, and have knowledge enough to understand what happens and what will happen in near and far future, if possible.<br>As technician, I would be sure not to be completely dependent only on policy-makers, which might be non honest persons.<br>
In this context, CII is not made only of sotware and hardware, but of persons able to control them in some way, too.<br>Regards<br>AC<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

In terms of "what is missing", I think policy-makers have still a long<br>
way to go before they understand what the Internet actually is and how<br>
it is operationally managed. One consequence of this is that in some<br>
cases they still try to apply crisis management approaches that will<br>
not work. On the other hand, the private sector must stop pretending<br>
(at least with us) that we are still in the '80s and that the Internet<br>
infrastructures they operate are not vital for society.<br>

Andrea, with your experience at the European Commission, do you think you can advise us on how to turn the results of our conversations here into products that policy makers can understand?<br>
<br>
For example, the advancing discussion on terminology.<br>
