[kictanet] AU Cyber-security Convention ignores practical reality

[Grace Githaiga]

...Dr Isaac Rutenberg, an intellectual property expert, and his counterpart Lilian Makanga are quite concerned about the Draft AU Convention on the Confidence and Security in Cyberspace (DAUCCSC, or AUCC for short).
Rutenberg argues that it is a sweeping Convention that would touch on virtually every aspect of electronic culture. Inside the 52-page Convention are lurking provisions for just about everybody to dislike.If right now you are asking, “What is the AUCC?” you are not alone. Indeed, a major problem with the AUCC is that so few people, companies, and organisations even know of its existence, yet it is scheduled to be passed by the AU in January 2014.
