		<description><![CDATA[An international institutional battle of sorts has been playing out in a segment of the trade press over the past couple of weeks over the venue of the Oct 2027 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-27). The treaty conference held under the auspices of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Radiocommunication Sector is part of a continuum of intergovernmental activities that began in Berlin in 1903. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsignorance-of-history">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Information and Communications (ICT) infrastructures rely on many globally shared critical resilience information resources for diverse essential functions such as identifiers, routing, and cyber security. However, this ICT ecosystem has rapidly become significantly less stable and collaborative with dramatically diminished respect for legal norms and values because of the new USA national Administration. The instability includes the vicarious, wholesale removal of essential public safety and scientific databases, as well as global collaboration with multiple global UN public safety bodies. One result is the scaling of Digital Sovereignty initiatives. <a href="https://circleid.com/postscyber-resilience-resources-restructuring">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/postsa-threat-to-europeas-digital-human-rights-stewardship</link>
		<description><![CDATA[In a contemporary era when the human rights, democracy, and the rule of law are under attack, Europe has asserted itself as the leading global digital steward for maintaining those values. However, doing so through its Digital Sovereignty initiatives is significantly dependent on the ability to produce timely technical standards that underpin the implementing legislation. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsa-threat-to-europeas-digital-human-rights-stewardship">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/poststhe-digital-sovereignty-ecosystem</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The terms Digital Sovereignty or Souveraineté numérique have recently risen in prominence to describe the international rule of law as it applies to information and communication technologies. At a time when disinformation is proliferating and the rule of law, democracy, and human rights, together with long-standing relationships, are being cast aside, digital sovereignty is scaling in importance as a key defensive measure among many nations. <a href="https://circleid.com/poststhe-digital-sovereignty-ecosystem">More...</a>]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/postscybersecurity-standards-competition</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/postscybersecurity-standards-competition</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The conventional wisdom in the world of legacy standards-making is that monolithic standards produce, if not accelerate, better products and services. Conformance, certification, and associated labelling schemes to implement those standards were believed essential to trust. Although competition law seems now evolving in the other direction, regulatory standards-making bodies themselves have been accorded considerable anticompetitive cartel liability protection. <a href="https://circleid.com/postscybersecurity-standards-competition">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the saying goes, elections have consequences. The consequences are underscored in the recent U.S. Presidential election and the potential impact on the Internet, infrastructure and cybersecurity. In the context of the CircleID global community, it seems worth asking where things are headed? It does beg for an analysis of what is actually proposed in Presidential Transition Project 2025 related to things internet and cybersecurity. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsproject-2025-the-internet-and-cybersecurity">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20240327-the-fcc-cyber-trust-label-gambit-part-ii</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Sixty years ago, Paul Baran and Sharla Boehm at The RAND Corporation released a seminal paper that would fundamentally reshape the cyber world forever more. Their paper, simply known as Memorandum RM -- 1303, described how specialized computers could be used to route digital communications among a distributed universe of other computers. It set the stage for a flood of endless developments that resulted in the interconnected world of everything, everywhere, all the time. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20240327-the-fcc-cyber-trust-label-gambit-part-ii">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For four days in Southern France, cybersecurity experts from a broad array of different countries and sectors gathered for the annual ETSI Security Conference. The event undertaken by one of the world's major industry information-communication (ICT) standards organisations was intended to take stock of the state of cybersecurity and trends. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20231031-the-iot-cyber-seal-fog">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20230924-the-fcc-cyber-trust-label-gambit</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Several weeks ago, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) embarked on one of the most far-reaching regulatory gambits in its 90-year history. It is formally known as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the matter of Cybersecurity Labeling for Internet of Things, Docket 23 -- 239. The FCC offers ICT product developers the use of its FCC trademarked cyber trust mark placed on their products in exchange for accepting open-ended Commission cybersecurity jurisdiction... <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20230924-the-fcc-cyber-trust-label-gambit">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> The Standards Paywalls Fall: Everyone Benefits (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20230913-the-standards-paywalls-fall-everyone-benefits</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday -- in a unanimous decision of the US Federal Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit (CADC) in ASTM v. Public.Resource.Org --- some of the worst standards paywalls came tumbling down. The court definitively determined that where governmental authorities incorporate private organisation technical standards into law by reference, non-commercial dissemination of those standards "constitutes fair use and cannot support liability for copyright infringement." <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20230913-the-standards-paywalls-fall-everyone-benefits">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> EU CRA: Regulatory Extremism and Exceptionalism (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20230824-eu-cra-regulatory-extremism-and-exceptionalism</link>
		<description><![CDATA[European Union (EU) legislators, like most of the world, are troubled about the increasing number and severity of cybersecurity incidents. However, unlike most of the world, which is taking a flexible, adaptive Zero Trust Model approach of continuous controls for cyberdefense, the EU government is pursuing a vastly expanded version of the failed Common Criteria certification model coupled with regulatory extremism and exceptionalism strategies. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20230824-eu-cra-regulatory-extremism-and-exceptionalism">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20230820-the-standards-myth-that-does-not-stop</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The latest iteration of the most expansive, omnipotential cybersecurity legal regime ever drafted appeared a few days ago. The European Union (EU) Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is attempting to assert jurisdiction and control over all "products with digital elements" defined as "any software or hardware product and its remote data processing solutions, including software or hardware components to be placed on the market." <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20230820-the-standards-myth-that-does-not-stop">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The proposed new European Union (EU) Artificial Intelligence Act has been extolled in the media as a bold action by a major legislative body against the perceived dangers of emerging new computer technology. The action presently consists of an initial proposal for a Regulation with annexes from 2021, plus recent Amendments adopted on 14 June. This regulatory behemoth exists entwined among a multitude of other recent EU major regulations... <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20230628-the-eu-ai-act-a-critical-assessment">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20230623-eu-standards-must-be-freely-available</link>
		<description><![CDATA[In 2019, two organisations - Public.Resource.org of Sebastopol, California, and the Right to Know GLC of Dublin - brought suit against the European Commission for violating the fundamental rights of citizens to access the standards they are required by law to know, and attempting to protect intellectual property by copyright which lacked originality because it was, inter alia, provided by public governmental and industry sources. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20230623-eu-standards-must-be-freely-available">More...</a>]]></description>
