Study on security and spam countermeasures (fwd)

[Rob Blokzijl k13@localhost]

Dear Colleagues,

   at the last RIPE meeting we had an introduction of ENISA, the European 
Network and Information Security Agency. This is a new Agency of the 
European Union that started its work last year. 

   One of the first activities of ENISA is a study of excisting security 
environments of ISPs. 

   Below you will find the announcement of this study, together with the 
relevant documents. I strongly encourage you to have a look at it, and if 
you have operations inside the EU to take the time to answer and submit 
the questionaire.

   The deadline mentioned has been extended - so, go ahead :-)

Best regards,

   Rob Blokzijl
   Chairman RIPE

Dear Service Provider,

We would appreciate if you could give us a few minutes of your
attention. Your input is valuable during a study of legislation in the
field of information security. We hope to be able to provide you with
the results of our research in the first half of 2006.

ENISA, the European Information and Network Security Agency, conducts a
brief study on the technical and organizational measures that electronic
communication services providers take with regard to IT security
measures and countermeasures against spam. This addresses in particular
the EU Directive 2002/58/EC, which has been transposed into national law
by the EU Member States in an attempt to harmonize measures in Europe.
You - as an electronic communication service provider - are also
concerned about security and spam. ENISA would like to understand what
specific measures you implemented to put national laws and regulations
into practice. This is not an analysis of compliance with the law. The
results of this study will merely be used to evaluate whether the EU
Directive 2002/58/EC is effective and how it can be improved.

Please see the attached questionnaire. You can fill it directly in
Microsoft Word, by choosing your answers and then saving the document.
You can also print the attached PDF file or you can go to our website.
Filling the questionnaire will take you less than 10 minutes. There are
several ways to send us your response:

*	Via fax to: +30.2810.39.1895
*	With a web form: http://www.enisa.org.gr
*	Via email to: carsten.casper@localhost 
	marking your response by "Questionnaire EU Directive 2002/58/EC"
on the subject line

For any questions, please call Carsten Casper at +30.2810.39.1280

We ask you to provide contact details so that we can make sure that we
do not receive multiple answers from the same provider. However, you may
remain anonymous if you wish. In this case we reserve the right to not
take your responses into account.

Please note our deadline: Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,
Carsten Casper
